Save folder - where are you ?

[endruwiggin]

Anyone found where the saves folder is ? (GoG version)

Tried in main folder but can't even find the string "save" .. thanks for any help

from what i can tell the game has multiple save locations. one inside your %temp% folder and a nother permenent one under /USERNAME/Save Games under windows.

the temp folder ones seems to be uncompressed data while save games is rather compiled

I have a steam version and I found the savegame at:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\Obsidian Entertainment\Pillars of Eternity

maybe it's the same for all editions.

Btw, isn't a "Temp" folder a strange place to put savegames? what if I decide to clean tempfiles one day?

EDIT: found another one, I think this is the good one:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity

Can I transfer a save between my home and work computer?

FYI on Windows 8 saves are located:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Obsidian Entertainment\Pillars of Eternity\CurrentGame

I think that's the one used for the backer beta, because I have it too and the creation date of the folder is way older than the release of the full game today.

Yep, that's the one for the Backer Beta.

I wasn't in the backer beta, and the creation date is for today. So either there's something wrong with PoE and it's creation settings, or there's a conflict against the UAC in Win8 and it's being forced to locallow.  Don't mind the imgur link, it's faster than waiting for the forums right now.

Btw, don't want to derail the thread,but since you're a developer, can you give us any confirmation wether the day 1 patch is already applied or not to version 1.0.2.0508 of the game?

 

EDIT: I see you answered this in the other thread, thanks!!
