Why don't you tell users where on their computers the FM save is located to help?

I go to upload a save because there is a bug.

But I can't find where my game save is to do it.

Wouldn't it be straightforward to add the information where people can find their saves onto this page?

It is called How to upload your save, after all.

People are trying to help by uploading saves but you don't assist them properly.

Im still stuck on where to find my game save.

In part because its entirely down to you where your save games can be located. It just wouldn't be possible to put up every possible variation. The game has a default path, but you don't have to use that. Most operating systems do have quite effective file search facilities these days. You can quite easily find the save game location in the game too:

Press Browse

It alters the view, you can then click on the drop down where it saves games

This shows the full path through the folders to where games are saved on your system.

Alternatively, file search:

Right click on the file and open file path, you could then drag and drop it directly from there to the upload service.

Thats all fair enough.

But for the majority, the save will be in the default place.

So why not put the info there, and say if it isnt in the default places, try searching your machin for Name of your save ?

I'd bet if you added this info, many more saves would get uploaded.

Appreciate the feedback and it's something we'll look at.
