    [​IMG] Hey there!

    I've had to format my system recently, but of course, not without copying my whole BGII directory on a remote computer... Now I don't know why, but I can't seem to get a freshly installed version of the game to recognize my previously saved games!! I tried to install the game and copy my whole backed up directory on the freshly installed one, to no effect... And I've tried to simply copy the savegame directory on the new one, with the same results!

    I've been looking on the net for hours for a way to recover these savegames, but I can't find anything...

    I'm sure some of you have been in the same situation as I... So what do i do?

    Thanks!

    LATER ON THAT DAY...

    All right, I figured it out, so don't bother responding...

    All you have to do is keep the characters, savegame and a couple of other folders (I forget wich ones) from the previous installation, install the game and copy-paste those folders on top of the new ones, and voilà!
