Directory for Saved Game due to new installation

Do you mean the .../SH4/Data/CFG folder?

Because I deleted all the files in this CFG folder and placed my old saved files in there, but still there are no saved games at "Load Game" in the SH4 menu.

I hope your right that it shall work

Assuming you're running Windows, click Start and then click Documents.

In this folder you'll see a folder named SH4, right? Unless you used MultiSH4...?


The structure of this folder is SH4\data\cfg, like this:



Hope this helps a bit...

Jan

First of all thanks for your effort to help me out here, but unfortunatelly it still doesn't work. I work indeed with windows and I don't have a multiSH4 so the new SH4 is installed at D:\Games\Silent Hunter 4\

I cleaned completely the D:\Games\Silent Hunter 4\Data\Cfg file and after that I placed the saved games (from D:\Mijn Documenten\SH4\data\cfg) into this Cfg file.

But when I click on Load Game there are no saved games

p.s. Can the difference between SH4 and Silent Hunter 4 directory be the problem? And I had to clean the Cfg file right, not replace the existing files only?

I hope I'm wrong, but from the way you describe it, it looks like you deleted the game's ".cfg" files and replaced them with your "Saved Games .cfg" files. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you here but, it looks to me like you've confused two completely different sets of files.

I think you are placing the files in the wrong location. The set of files and folders that make your savegames are stored inside the: (My) Documents folder/SH4/Data/Cfg path.

You seem to be placing them in the SH4 Game's install folder. That's not where they are supposed to be stored.

Just open (My) Documents ("Mijn Documenten"). In Windows XP and Vista/7 it has different locations on your (C) drive. So without knowing what Windows version you have it is risky pointing you to a specific folder path on your drive. Anyway, in the "Mijn Documenten" should be a SH4 folder. (If there is none then make a dummy career to force it) In it is a "data" folder. And in that is the "cfg". That is where those files should go. (Like Jan Kyster's image, taking language differences into consideration)

Whoops, I missed the following!!!

Yes!!! With the first act you deleted critical game files. WernherVonTrapp is correct. Uninstall the game and reinstall it first! Then when that is done, copy the savegame files into the location mentioned earlier in my message.

Again thanks for all the effort and I did as you both mentioned but still NOT working!

I deleted SH4 from my pc and reinstalled it completely (on C:\program files\SH4 this time)

Than I copied my saved files (4 folders and 9 CFG, MIS, TMP and TSR files) into the new directory: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH4\Data\Cfg

On 3 files he asked me if I wanted to replace them and I choosed Yes so the newer (saved) ones replaced the existing (2007) ones: that were GamePlaySettings.cfg, GFXsettings.cfg and Main.cfg

Was that correct??

p.s. The cfg folder was not supposed to be cleaned before copying right?

Sounds like you did the same thing all over again. Don't touch, replace (or copy any other files into) the C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH4\Data\Cfg folder.

The "Saved Games" files belong ONLY in the SH4 folder found in your "My Documents" folder.
