BoA Save Files

Author	Topic: BoA Save Files
Shapliest Apprentice Member # 5923	written Monday, January 9 2006 21:19 Profile #0 I finished the four vendor scenarios with a party in the low 30's. I dl'd some senarios and tried A large Revolution which was too buggy. Next tried Druids. This scenario starts ok. I saved several times. Unfortunately Druids eliminated my BoA save files including some scenario ends and places its saves on my desktop. BoA now points to those saves and there are no saves in the BoA directory. Can I get Druids to save in the BoA folder and can I get my other save folder back? I am running Windows XP with Norton Utilities and Go Back. The files should be in the recycle bin but since there is no valid directory I can't access them. Any help? FYI I am older and completely non-techie on personal computers.

If so, you can just choose a different save folder in that. You can do almost the same thing when choosing "Open" to load a saved game, if you can locate your old saves. And by the way, the scenario has nothing to do with it. It's the application itself that is responsible for this.

If you remember what the files were called, search for them by name on your hard disk. Unless you've deleted them yourself (or someone else using your computer has done so), they'll still be where you originally saved them. (Possibly in My Documents or somewhere.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
Shapliest Apprentice Member # 5923	written Tuesday, January 10 2006 01:40 Profile #3 Thanks for the quick replies. And they helped me find them. The older saves are in the My Documents folder. Have no idea why Druid saves went to the desktop. I can move them to My Documents and search for the druid or gremlin which changed the save as path. :) ;) Posts: 17 | Registered: Wednesday, June 8 2005 07:00
