Rayvon2 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Done this many times before, need to transfer my save from one laptop to another, copied the game file to a USB, put it in the new laptop, copied it into the games folder, loaded up FM, nothing there, any ideas?

Chicha_14 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Try uploading it to a file sharing site then sign into the account on the new laptop and download. Move the file straight to the the "games" folder without copying it. I'd suggest uploading to file factory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 you need to make sure FM is set up exactly the same on both machines, ie same db, same patches, user preferences etc... it should work fine transferring by usb, my save does... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbs Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Mine works fine by using a data stick. Never worried about what patches and updates etc. Surely the database & preferences etc is saved with the data. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as both machines have the same patch version of the same FM there shouldn't be a problem which suggests you are doing something wrong. Most obvious would be you are putting the game save in the wrong file when you transfer it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
