How so? Please let us know in ourthis game has f*cked up my pc.
From our release post:I wonder how is steam realese going. Was there any news about it?
Post a screenshot showing how your save directory looks like and I should be able to point out if you did something wrong.For the first time in far too long, I have bought a new computer. All my games were on an external drive so that has not been an issue. I just installed the latest version of SHS and even though I copied the "C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Shale_Hill_Secrets" directory where the saves supposedly are ( and there are files there) I get no saves to load when I open the game. Did I miss something? Since this game is non-Ren'Py I'm lost on this kind of thing![]()

Thanks
Is this the info you mean?Post a screenshot showing how your save directory looks like and I should be able to point out if you did something wrong.
What I can imagine is that the structure directory is not correct.
Weird, it seems correct... The only issue I can imagine now is that you moved the data into the wrong user name (in case there exists more than one)? Are you using the "Saves Location" shortcut available in the game's root directory?Is this the info you mean?

I just copied it from one computer to the other. Let me know if this isn't it, or if it's wrong
Thanks!!!!
That may be it. The user name is different on the two computers. I'll try making a user directory with the old name.Weird, it seems correct...

Nope, I was wrong, they are named the same. Path is the same on both computersThat may be it. The user name is different on the two computers. I'll try making a user directory with the old name.

Yeah, I used the link. That's the only way I knew where to find itAre you using the "Saves Location" shortcut available in the game's root directory?
I mean, you certainly did/are doing something wrong, but I can't spot what it is given the information I have.
The game's data is certainly transferable. I get people asking about it all the time on Discord when changing computers and it always work.
dumb question but why windows account username would matter?Weird, it seems correct... The only issue I can imagine now is that you moved the data into the wrong user name (in case there exists more than one)? Are you using the "Saves Location" shortcut available in the game's root directory?
Because (AFAIK) that is part of the link that the game uses to find save files, as per the xxxx belowdumb question but why windows account username would matter?
This isn't developer's fault, though. Most professional engines save into Appdata because that's fricking Microsoft guidelines since Windows Vista. Apps/games are supposed to be "sandboxed" for security reasons so they don't have random writing access to any directory of the system and also because in theory each user in the computer can have their own save for the app/game. Writing data directly to the game's directory may be a can of worms.well if ms will force users to use ms account to login into win 11 then win 10 players who use local accounts will be screwed when they update to win 11. unless devs find workaround and if same applies to dfd and dh then oh boy (it isn't exactly fast to replay those).
didn't say that.This isn't developer's fault, though.
