How do I backup the game prior to reinstalling? How do I move savegames between machines?
From Manfred: “Copy your savegames [folder] and the game.dat file and move them back into the correct locations after reinstall.” From Budgie: “(1) Complete contents of the folders ‘Savegame’ and ‘Own Scenarios’. (2) All ‘.hss’ and ‘.hsm’ files. (3) The file ‘game.dat’. (4) Any other folders you created in the 1602 directory, for example ‘Islands’ or ‘Island Editor’.” On copying saves between machines, FrankB writes: “Open your Windows Explorer, go to your Anno\SAVEGAME folder, copy the savegame you need (I think lastgame.gam would be the best) and paste it to your A:\ folder. On the other machine do the same procedure vice versa. It might be a good idea to rename the lastgame.gam before doing that – just to be on the safe side. If you are playing the first scenarios (‘Original scenarios’), you should also copy the game.dat file; otherwise you could have problems viewing the played scenarios.
