How do we delete Saved games?

[jack54]

Hi again,

I can't seem to find an option to delete saves. I don't see them in the game directory or user documents either.

Thanks!

each time you select new game it over writes it anyway, only continue keeps the one you have been playing

I will ask Chippit to post the procedure, manual for now but we should make it part of the process...

You can find your save files at the following location on Windows:

Code: Select all

%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Every Single Soldier\Vietnam 65\saves

Depending on your Windows installation and your personal setup, the actual location that resolves to is different, but entering that path exactly into Explorer or into the Start Menu search bar should take you there. If not, you'll probably find it at something similar to its default location at (Vista and newer):

Code: Select all

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Every Single Soldier\Vietnam 65\saves

Is there any way, other than reinstalling, to start with a new character or uniform?

There's no way to do this in-game right now, I'm afraid, but you can do it manually depending on which version of the game you're playing. If you have the standalone version, purchased directly from Slitherine, then you can simply delete the two files you'll find at the following path: (It's one level up from the path from my previous post above. The two files should be called achievements.sav and stats.sav).

Code: Select all

%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Every Single Soldier\Vietnam 65\

If you have the Steam version of the game, those files also exist but are saved as part of your Steam profile as well, so your stats and achievements are synced between machines. So in that case, I'm afraid it's not possible. If you delete the files they will be recreated from your synced Steam data.

If you have the iOS version of the game, the only way to restart your progress is to delete and reinstall the app.

Great! Thanks. Most helpful.

With the update you will be able to name and delete your save games from inside the game (thanks Chippit)

Well, On windows 7 I can't seem to find the path to the save games. (To do a fresh restart under the patch)

I have looked everywhere, but no joy on finding the location of the saved games.

It is the Matrix version for PC, not Steam.

I run the game on a Tower with win xp pro 32 bit, Pentium 4 cpu 3.2GHz, 4gb ddr2 ram,Geforce 610 1 gb.

My files are stored:

c:\Slitherine\Vietnam 65\

I tried this on win 7, but no luck.

Has anyone found the path/location for the saved files?

Someone remembered...


"If you cannot find the game's folder in Documents\My Games then we must have left the save game location at its Unity default, which is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow - it's a hidden folder so you may need to change your Windows settings to make it visible. If I remember correctly the folder names within LocalLow might be a bit cryptic but you shall be able to find the savegame there."


In Win 7 I had to find out how to show hidden files, then check the time I made the saved game and locate the file. Using the time/date made the task easier.

Then I searched through notepad text and edited the file.

Loaded the game and ran the file. All ok with the new edited version.
