How do I restore my old saved games (I’ve the original folder, backed up just before paving the machine)?
The app unfortunately seems to have load form the cloud a very old saved game and copying the contents of the above mentioned folder into the actual app folder did not change anything.
On Windows 8 Store Version
C:\Users{User}\AppData\Local\Packages\B3B9BB81.56264F78B4FFF_swksbykwsp6kr\RoamingState
Where {User} is your username. If you could send us the file corresponding to the save slot you use, that would help us a lot.
So slot 1 would be file 1 for example.
you can find my backed-up state here http://sdrv.ms/1c1V7ze (synching as we speak); Actually I did use only the default save, I guess, never payed attention to it…
To be precise, the actual flow was: playing GDT on my surface for a few days; installed on my main machine GDT, started it and found that the roaming state was not the last one. Without opening the game on the Surface I saved the application state folder and installed Win8.1, which was a repaving since I was on 8.1 Preview.
Issue closed. I tried to Load, and found that L1 is my super company. Auto save, instead, is an old save. Copying over the backed up files did restore my saved games (maybe that was already there even if I didn’t restore them, who knows…)
