Hi, does anyone know if the following will work? I have a Mac available now, but won't next year. If I start playing Avernum 5 now (and buy the registration code), can I transfer the registration and the saved games to the windows version (when it comes out)? Has anyone transferred savegames successfully for previous Avernums? Thanks -------------------- -- The Raman Posts: 3 | Registered: Tuesday, November 13 2007 08:00 |

You can get a key from us for the new version for free, but the saved games won't transfer. - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

You can't transfer the registration code and saved games between different operating systems. You could email Jeff for a Windows registration code and explain when you purchased the Mac version and why you need it. Or wait until the Windows version is out and order the CD-ROM with both versions on it so you can load the game to either type of computer. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

For the record, I can't even transfer registrations to new machines with the same operating system (my job requires me to get new hardware often). I'm thankful Jeff is so understanding with these things. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Actually transferring between two computers with the same OS is quite easy. In Windows, just copy the whole game. In OS X, just copy the Preferences file in your user library. -------------------- "Dumbledore returns from the dead and declares it to be hammertime, Harry proceeds to break it down, Voldemort is unable to touch this." —Dintiradan Spiderweb Chat Room Avernum RP • Summaries • OoC • Roster Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.
