Not sure if this should be here or in the PC games forum but here goes..

Basically i want to move my Crysis 2 installation from my SSD to a new drive i have just added. How do i go about this without losing my saves?

Thanks

You can't "move" it.

Find the saved games folder and make a copy of it.

Uninstall Crysis 2.

Re-install Crysis 2 on new drive.

Copy saved games folder back to new installation.

I understand what's involved

I guess my real question was: Where are the game saves!

You can move it, use Steam Mover and it will symlink the directories and copy the contents for you. Your saves are in C:\Users\<YOUR WINDOWS ACCOUNT HERE>\Saved Games\Crysis2 so you don't have to worry about moving them.

You live and learn.

Does that work for games installed from disc rather than Steam?
