hi, ive got a quick question. if i unistall quake 4, but copy the saved game folder into another directory. can i then reinstall the game at a later date and keep my saves. is there another easier way of doing this? like PC memory cards lol or am i best using a rewritable disk? ps- actaull this question is aimed at games in general, how do i keep my saves? thx damo
It varies from game to game.In 90% of cases you can do that but there is a small percentage of games that have problems.When you reinstall the game at a later time you must place those files(or the entire folder)in the exact place you got them from.Most games have a saves folder so it will be easy to find. As far as an easier way they can be stored on any time of memory or cd/dvd media.A usb flash drive is a great way as well as discs.
thx for your quick reply. i sensed that was the answer, the folder is called save so it should be a matter of replaceing the folder with the new folder when its installed again. thx i can now uninsstall quake 4, i completed it today and am wanting to have a bash at the new tombraider. its somthing like 9GB when installed !!!!!!!!
No problem glad to help out.I have the tomb raider legend and it's awesome let me tell ya.The graphics rock!!!! Best tr ever plus it fully supports gamepads.Have fun.
