Gears of War game saves…

slipd · 19 Jan 2008 at 14:45

Hey guys,

I’ve just had a major raid0 crash and I’ve lost all of my game saves since xmas…

Fortunately I’ve completed most of my newly installed games, but I was just getting into GoW when I had the crash? Could someone very kindly send me their saves, it would be much appreciated

If you could send to: [email protected] – that would be amazing

I was up to the bit where I’d just killed the first berserker thingy – I had to lure her outside?

Cheers,

SW.

Up to pretty close round there myself. Literally only just passed it, i didn't know which checkpoint save it was so i sent you all of them.

Don't suppose anyone can tell me where they go

Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Games

Thanks, but I've looked into it and it’s a bit more complicated than that...

It's all to do with bloody Windows Live apparently :rolleyes:

Thanks anyone tho, I think I'm just going to have to face facts: I'm going to have to start from the beginning again

I was up to the start of Act II btw...

Cheers,

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\WarGame\Checkpoints

On my system, nothing seems to get saved in the My Documents patch at all except engine setup data.

Hmm. Okay, I'll give it another go? But there's a lot on the web about how difficult it can be...

I'd like to know this as I do often take backups of progress. I've lost games in the past.

All I've done in this case is taken a backup of the said directory.

Poor show really.

I bit the bullet in the end and just had an intensive session last night to get back to where I was previously

Fortunately, I hadn't got too far - only up to Act II...

I hate games that leave 'bits' of themselves all over the place! Why can't everything be in the same place - the directory where you originally installed it for example?

The sub-directory where your saves went could be called something stupid like SAVE

Good luck!

I've lost my savegames three times now... i give up frankly, the game isn't worth my time.
