Move to Windows 10 from 7 (clean install) Where are my save games?

[kragil]

Hello,
I just installed Windows 10 (clean) and I want to play ECC from my last savegame. I still have all the Windows 7 files, but cannot find the savegame. I found a folder with highscore.dat and prefs.dat, but that does not seem to be the savegame.

Please help, I was nearly at the end.

I regret to say that this was a work-for-hire project, and one that I didn't program myself. The folks at PlayFirst stopped supporting this game several years ago. I will try and get in touch with the guy programmed the game. Hopefully he remembers how the save function works!

Thank you very much. I guess Adobe flash saves the game somewhere, but haven't been able to figure it out. The coder should know I guess.

Thanks again.

It is not Adobe Flash.
Those two files highscore.dat and prefs.dat are your saved games! Those are only files I have for Playfirst games (besides logfile.txt).

I don't know why your game does not see them. Maybe Windows 10 puts them in different folder than Windows 7?

Oh, and if I rebember correctly, Playfirst games are very picky as for their location. That is, if I move the game to another folder, old saves do not work any more.

Cool thanks, somehow I have a new system where I install my games in Winblows10 (Upgrade has been nothing but trouble tbh).

Now it works. Thanks so much!

Thanks Yuri! You seem to know more about how this game works than we do. Much appreciated!
