Not Detecting Moved Games
Posted: 09 Feb 2019, 23:25
I recently used GameSave Manager to backup a bunch of game saves before moving some games from one hard drive to another.
I then moved a folder i:\GOG Games\ to L:\GOG Games. Doing a restore of ALL games(including Steam/GOG), restored the GOG saves to where they originally were. As in created a folder called i:\GOG Games and put a folder for each game that had a save within that, with ONLY the backed up save in it. So I thought OK, I'll just delete the "i:\GOG Games" folder and do a new backup, the new backup should find "L:\GOG Games" (along with my Steam games), and when I restore those saves, they should go to the correct folder. Except doing a new backup it doesn't find any of the games that are now in "L:\GOG Games" that were previously in "i:\GOG Games" So I'm thinking maybe it's remembering where they used to be, looking there and since there are no saves there anymore, ignoring those entries.
I tried going into the Settings and unticking "Save detection results for faster detection in future" in case that had something to do with it, but still didn't find them. So I uninstalled GameSave Manager, then downloaded "gs_mngr_v3.1.455.0.zip" and extracted it again, and it still doesn't find them, it only finds my Steam(I:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common and L:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common) and retail game saves.
I also since installed the GOG version of 1NSANE to "L:\GOG Games" and it doesn't detect that game either, it should find "L:\GOG Games\1NSANE\Player00.CHP"
