Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Delete & Re-install

I want to delete my game to see if it is causing some problems on my computer, but I want to save my save game to disc. How exactly do I do this?

???

First, you'll need to locate the place where the savegames are stored.

You could put the savegames into a package with for example PKZIP.

The saved game folders are all in '..\Divine Divinity\Run\savegames'; right click on the shortcut to the program and select Properties if you are not sure where you installed it (default is 'c:\program files\Divine Divinity', I think). You can zip or copy them to another location to back them up. Also, the un-install program will ask you if you want to keep your saved games and settings.

And please don't forget about the following:

4) Problem: I made backups from my savegames and now I can’t load them anymore:
When you copy files from a CD to your HDD, the read-only flag is set by Windows, preventing Divine Divinity to open these files for writing. Clear the read-only flag by right clicking on the files, selecting properties, unchecking the read only flag and then clicking on apply.
