January 23, 201610 yr I have the game on two computers--wondering if I can somehow move/copy one character and team (and progress) from one computer to the other.
January 23, 201610 yr If you're using Steam then that's automatic. Otherwise, copy your savegame directory? Edited January 23, 201610 yr by Infinitron
January 23, 201610 yr Author If you're using Steam then that's automatic. Otherwise, copy your savegame directory? Ah, thank you! Not using Steam, so I'll try the directory approach. . . . That is, I would . . . but I don't see a savegame directory. I'm on a Mac, if that makes a difference. Only place I know to look for such a directory is in "contents" in the POE application. Eh . . . not crucial; but, if someone knows how to do this, that would be great. Edited January 23, 201610 yr by Updraft
January 23, 201610 yr If you have the gog.com version, or any non-Steam version I'm assuming, the save directory is under: (For Windows) C:\Users\<your account>\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity (For Mac) \Library\Application Support\Pillars of Eternity\Saved Games (For Linux) \Home\.local\share\PillarsOfEternity\SavedGames Found somewhere on these forums, source: LadyCrimson.

January 23, 201610 yr Yep, copying your save file should work, it worked for me at least. Dunno where the save file is on Mac though sorry. "That rabbit's dynamite!" - King Arthur, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail "Space is big, really big." - Douglas Adams
January 23, 201610 yr Author Yep, copying your save file should work, it worked for me at least. Dunno where the save file is on Mac though sorry. Thanks . . . can't find such a file to save meself. Have posted in the Apple forum, and in the technical questions here . . . not sure what else to do. May try copying and replacing some files from the "package contents" folder that opens in the POE application. Can't hurt, I guess. I hope.

In case anyone else runs into this, here's what I had to do: copy and replace the entire folder "com.mpdigital.pillarsofeternity." Naturally, that just brought the whole game over from one computer to the other. I could not make anything short of that do the job. That folder, for the Mac App, is located as indicated above: Library/Containers/ . . . Edited January 24, 201610 yr by Updraft
