alexeilh Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Morning. Could use a hand. On my Mac, I made a database, using the default database (I think). Anyway, made that, and made a save game, now about 2 years in. I've now got a decent PC, and I wanted to copy all of that over to it, so I could carry on the save. Copied the database and game from the folder within 'My Documents' area. Put them in the right place, the database is loadable for a new game, but the save says it cannot be loaded, a number of popups appear, and then it stops bothering and goes back to the main screen. Have I copied the right stuff? If not, what do I take? Cheers. (PS. Mac/PC. If you know what to take from the PC, I know where that is on a Mac.)

Saintmat Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I think the main problem will be simply that it is transferring to PC. I'm no expert but I reckon that the files may be slightly different. Maybe you need a converter or something? I managed to do the same as you but it was from one PC to another so it can be done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazza Pee Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Did you take the Database over as well as the save game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexeilh Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Yep. Copied it from the My Docs bit. I can make a NEW game with that database, so that works fine. Just that the save game doesn't load. What do you need to copy to make it work, is me question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazza Pee Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well I'll help you later as I've saved a game + DB from my dads comp and I'm going to put it on my laptop later so I'll help you after I do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
