AlbanianVictimAgain Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi, I've just bought a new laptop cos my old one is on it's last legs. I have FM08 saved on an external hard drive with a shortcut on my desktop on the old laptop. I've tried playing it on my new one, but it says the game I have saved cannot be loaded. I've selected the right drive in the preferences, installed it fully on my laptop etc, but I can't open the game! Well annoying as I'm top of the league! Cheers for any help.

ssestig Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 did you patch the game on the original laptop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazza Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 here are a couple of suggestions or shots in thre dark really: Try moving the saved game onto your new lappy hard drive in the correct FM folder see if that helps - if so you can then save it and move it back to the external drive; Might sound daft but is the external drive compatable with the lappy; and When you said that your original game had no patches i presume so does the reloaded one on the lappy? Other than that save gameon a cd/dvd and transfer across? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saved it when using a "patched" game, you cannot open it again using a lesser version of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbanianVictimAgain Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 I can't believe I've been so dateless! Just went to the ExHD and opened it from there, load game, worked fine! Cheers for the replies tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
