Missing Save Games in Vista64

[BronYrAur]

Ok, first of all, I'm running Vista Ultimate x64, AMD 3700+ San Diego, nforce4 Ultra, Geforce 7600GT.

 

Now, KOTOR runs just fine except a little glitch at the main menu in which I can't read any of the text, like "new game" "load game" etc. Very odd, but I don't really care about that.

 

I was playing for a while in which I opened the game using the "run as administrator" command. Played a couple hours had 3 saves, then game crashed when I walked away for a while.

 

So, I came back and started it up again, not realizing until later that this time I just clicked the shortcut and didn't run as administrator. I then played a much longer time and built up 25 saves. Now if I run as admin I see only the 3 saves from the first game, if I run as normal I see my 25.

 

So, not a big problem, but I wanated to backup my saves and in the saves folder within the KOTOR directory only the 3 saves are there. Where are the other 25 saved at on my drive? I cannot find them. I ran the savegame editor and it shows them, but I can't find physical files, very odd. Sorry for the long writeup.

Would doing a file search on your hard drive find the save files?

Thanks for the reply. That was the weird thing, I did a complete file search for any .sav files and it came up with nothing.

 

But, I figured it out, once I went into the saves directory there was a "compatibility files" tab in the menu bar of the folder, clicking that brought up a new folder with all the same file folders but contained all 25 save files. So, I have no clue where it actually stores them if I can't even do a raw search for them. Kind of stupid if ya ask me.

I have the same problem, and I run a 32 bit system.

 

If you want to load a certain save and it dosen't appear on the load menu, restart the game a few times.
