New x64 install can't load x32 save games

Post by johnwax »

Have a new Win x64 and downloaded and installed both daggerfall setup and the x64 version of Alpha 10.3 DFU. Fired up the game and entered the path to my old x32 save games. No joy. It doesn't see them. Is there a way I can reenter the path? Or are the x32 saves lost? (I really, really hope not!!!) :(

Go to this place in WIndows:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\LocalLow\Daggerfall Workshop\Daggerfall Unity

What's in that directory?

All platforms of the game use the same save format. It's possible to transfer saves freely between Win32/64, Linux, and Mac.

On Windows, both 32/64 use the same persistent data path, which is the one Jay mentions above. Saves are stored in a "Saves" folder in that path.
