Save File Issue

[Vengence II]

I recently purchased and installed KOTOR II and have been playing it. My son started his own game, when he saved, my progress was wiped out...is there some way to correct this problem?

IIRC, you only see the savegames for the last character you played. So if your son created a different character, only his saves are visible - but in the load screen you can switch back by using the Switch Characters button.

 

Or are you sure the files are physically gone from your saves folder?

You don't happen to use Vista, right? If so, make sure you have Administrator rights, or things like this happen.

Go to "Switch Character" on a load game menu.

While we're on the subject, Kotor savegames zip beautifully, 2 GB or so (4 playthroughs) went down to something like 50 MB (with 7-Zip). That helps if you're a maniac like me, who keeps a whole string of saves of a playthrough saved just in case I ever want to review a particular moment in the story one day.
