Settings Importer Pillaging
« on: October 21, 2010, 12:55:32 pm »
I have a question:

Is the settings importer supposed to pillage all the save and settings files from my previous install?

I just went back into the SlimDX version to find that I had to re-register everything and add a player profile; and that all my saves were gone...

It should just copy them, not destroy what was there.  In my experience, that is what was happening.

Did you install the new version of the game over top of the old?

Well, generally anything I write will pillage and destroy, but I didn't actually tell it to do that, I don't think.

They're not even on the same hard drive!

Maybe this is an unrelated fault...

Hard disk boundaries?  Pillaging code has come a long way ;)
