Importing game

wiggins · 06-08-2009, 10:46 AM

I will start with, I'm not a member of the Geek Squad when it comes to my computers. I bought version 10 and downloaded the game to both my desktop and laptop. I am playing a Historical on my desktop and a fictional on my laptop. I have found that my laptop is real slow running the game and I want to move the game I just created on the laptop to the Desktop. Is there anyway to do that? Keep in mind I'm somwhat computer chalanged. Thanks for the help. By the way I love the game and have been playing since version 7.

You just need to move the whole laptopgame.lg directory from the "saved games" folder on the laptop to the same folder on the desktop.

Be aware these are very large directories. If your two machine are connected on a local area network, you can move the files over the network. If not, you can copy the whole directory to a CD or DVD and then copy it from the CD/DVD to the desktop machine.

Then I just import it as I regularly would?

You won't need to import it if the games are from the same version of OOTP. Once you get it in the proper saved_games folder you just need to load it up like any other league file.
