Title: Save Games Not Transferrable?
Post by: MFDLYO20uaeT9hSuQWE6 on Thu 16/01/2014 19:40:37
After playing Primoridia I noticed that my usual strategy of syncing save games across my PC's using a Dropbox-like service has failed. Restoring the game on a different PC appears to work for a while, but entering some rooms crash with an error. I recall reading somewhere in these forums that AGS save games are just memory dumps. Does this mean save games are unreliable if my original computer crashes? Even if the same OS version is used?

Any hope that save games can be made to work with restored/different computers? Ideally it save games could be resumed on different OS platforms too.

Hmm... of course it does not depend on computer if OS is the same. Also as of current AGS 3.3.0 saved games can be restored irregardless to OS (at least this was when I last checked).

The question really is, do you use same version of the game?

It could be I forgot to install the universal update to the other computer, so perhaps the version did not match.

Glad to hear OS independence is coming in the new version.
