MushyP15 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hello all, can anyone tell me how to transfer a save game from my work laptop to my home PC? I'm changing jobs on Friday and am in year 2022 with a new stadium in my name being opened next season!! I used to be able to do it on the old FMs but can't seem to work out how on this one. I'm playing FM 2009 still. Thanks all, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted February 23, 2010 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2010 It should transfer fine, you just need to make sure you're running the same version of the game (probably patch 10.2) on the version you're attempting to move the save to.

Just thought he'd be able to apply some common sense as I currently don't have that installed Should be the same though, ignoring the number. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MushyP15 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Common sense prevailed lol. Thanks guys, can't find the Hall of Fame info though. Alex Ferguson is back at number 1, and we can't have that now can we?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 The hall of fame is a seperate file. I transfered my 09 save easily when I got a new laptop last summer, simply transfering it with a usb stick after installing the game, but things like hall of fame, tactics and the like are stored in their own folders.

MushyP15 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi Mrmeeeeeeeeee, the dat file isn't there, I've only got file folders in that location, whether I view hidden or not. I'll try and run a search on the comp for that file though, cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MushyP15 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Found the file mate, in a different user directory. Now just got to find it on the laptop to transfer over and I'm home free. Thanks for your help. Now if only I can spawn a son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MushyP15 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Found the dat file and have now put it into the right place. But it doesn't seem to be picking up into the save game. Any further ideas? Cheers all, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MushyP15 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yep, did that too. It's in both at the moment. I'm just trying to run to the end of this season to see if it picks it up at the end of season reset. Not sure if that should make any difference.
