Walsingham Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I have just finished a playthrough of BG1 using my original 6 disc set, including TOSC. I am now ready to import my lovely shiny character file into BG2 and continue the adventure. I have done this before, sveeral years back. I can see imported character files. HOWEVER, when I go to where I think the BG1 folder is, I can't find squat. No savegames, no exported character files. They must be in my machine somewhere, as I can import them into BG1 if I try to start a new game. What the hell is going on? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
LadyCrimson Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Are you looking under Users or in the Documents? Sometimes older games or Win7's install-to-Program Files(86) means saves get put in Users and not also in Documents or original install directory. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
Walsingham Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 I've enabled hidden folders, and looked in my user folder, and nothing How the hell do I enable a full search. "It wasn't lies.

213374U Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) As LC says, it probably got installed into Program Files(x86)/Black Isle/etc. Do a search for baldur.sav if you still can't find it, that should point you to the folder where the files actually are. edit: search again -> custom (assuming you have W7, I don't know squat about that abortion known as W8, nor do I want to) Edited December 23, 2014 by 213374U - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
LadyCrimson Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 So they're not under C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Baldur's Gate\ ? That seems to be the common spot for many people using discs/Win7. 1 Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

That seems to be the common spot for many people using discs/Win7. Yup. Found it. Although I had to log in as admin, download the files to a memory stick, and transfer that way. Why in the name of all that is holy are the files so bloody secret!??? EDIT: Thanks to all for your help. Edited December 23, 2014 by Walsingham "It wasn't lies.
