I feel a little compelled to say some things myself about Bioshock Infinite, but for now I wanted to share this tip (which I learned the hard way). One thing that is painfully obvious is Papa Bear Levine went without Save Anywhere or Quick Save. What's worse is that you can only do one playthrough at a time. You can save off your current saves (in Steam) by turning off cloud sync in steam AND the game's options and copying off the folder:
[steam install folder]\userdata\remote\[Your Profile ID (a Number)]\8870\remote\savedata\
But what you might notice (when you copy these saves in) especially after a new install, is that when you start a game "Continue," in the gameplay menu, is grayed out. This has to do with the file dates being older than the current date. To get your save to work:
- Go to [steam install folder]\userdata\remote\[Your Profile ID (a Number)]\8870\remote\savedata\
- Copy off any files you want to save here and then copy in your old saves you want to use. Sort by date.
- The one on the top is the newest (or should be) memorize that file name.
- Open a command prompt (WinKey + R and then type cmd and hit enter).
- In the command prompt, change directories (cd) until you have found thesavedata folder above.
- Type copy \b [FileName memorized in step 3].sav +,, (This is sort of the DOS equivalent of the linux touch... and yes, the +,, is necessary)
- Hit enter.
- You should see that the filename you memorized in step 3, but with a more current date... and "Continue" should now be actionable.
Now, find the girl and wipe away the debt.
A bit late to your post here but this unfortunately is not working in Windows 8.1 (at least for me)
ReplyDeleteThat's ok, I'm a bit late on replying on your comment! Sorry! So we're even. ;o)
DeleteI'm sure you probably moved on from the save situtation... but, if you don't mind me asking, which part isn't working in Windows 8.1? Updating the timestamp?
