I don't know why they keep it in that folder as its hidden by default windows settings.

That folder will always be on what drive Windows is on, regardless of where the game is installed..

Status: offline 		indeed, you are correct Setekh....I saw Larsenex had the same DW install home as mine and assumed he also has the Windows on D, like me

Status: offline 		Oddly enough, I could not find a Documents and settings folder. I tried and tried, damn Win 7. What I did do was tell windows to look for 'Code Force' on the C drive and bam it found it in a folder(?) I cannot see call 'roaming'. Anyway, now I know how to search for it I can now find them. I went into my C drive and made all hidden folders visable. Ill check again later.

Thanks very much for the help!

You can change the saved game location! When saving a game just navigate to the location you want to use and save there. The game will default to that location for future saves including auto saves! However, when you install a patch, the game settings appear to be reset. You then have to repeat the above to save to your preferred location.

Status: offline 		The easy way to find those files is click on "load game," at the top is your file path, follow that trail back to the source. It will be different for everyone because of how your file structure is organized, but it should be the same for everyone when you find: 'appdata\roaming\code force limited\distant worlds\1.0.6.0\saved games\

I wanted to install the game on my laptop and continue a saved game, so I copied the "saved game" files from my desktop to a disk and copied the saved files from the disk to my laptop. I did this because a game on my desktop was pushing the limits of its memory, and my lap top is a 4 gig 64. Worked great!
