Saved Game Versions

Is there any easy way to tell what version a saved game was created with. e.g. OOTP 23 or 24 or 25?

I tried digging into my saved games since I'm still playing OOTP 23 and 26, but couldn't find anything specific telling me which saves belonged to which game (did a DIFF between the two folders). Thankfully I've kept them in the specific games folder over the years, so it's never been an issue. That's how I backup them up on my external HDD as well.

Have you tried loading a save into any version and see what happens?

The problem is the games can be loaded on other versions, but they won’t work properly and you won’t know at first.

Don't the files show the original saved date? Could that be used to help you figure out which game it came from?

Also are you backing up with OOTP's game backup? Or are you zipping them with your own winzip/7zip etc.? I use winzip (pre-subscription version) and right click>properties tell me the created date of the zip file. Like Cod all of my backup files are named and in folders by version so I've never had to use that, but it is there.

Any real players? See where the real stats end. What .odb is it pointed to (which game's /stats folder?)
