v0.34 Talk:Saved game folder

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Continue Playing menu isn't showing many of the saved game folders that I have. Now, some of those folders are not showing up because I Abandoned the fortress, but I copied those files out and then pasted them back into the save game folder after abandoning them, so shouldn't they show up now? --Romeofalling 01:21, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Um... in order to safely savescum, you need to copy the ENTIRE region folder as a unit. Copying bits and pieces out of that folder, and then pasting them back in, won't necessarily create a valid savegame. --DeMatt 06:43, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
I was copying the region folders entirely. What I wasn't doing was deleting the old folder before copying the backup back to save/. Thank you, whoever updated with that info. --Romeofalling 21:32, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Upgrading to a new version

Do we need to do anything special when upgrading to a newer version of DF2010? Specifically, I'm upgrading from vr0.31.12 to vr0.31.14, but the page should be updated for all DF2010 versions. --Romeofalling 21:33, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
