Author Topic: Ghost Saves - (V20/V19 Issue)  (Read 866 times)

To make this short, all of my V19 saves are saved to an endless void of space (as are my screenshots, some of my maps and some of my addons) and I can't retrieve them.

To make this long,


If I go into V19 and create a save, it saves and I can load it later.

If I go into V20 and create a save, it saves and I can load it later.


If I search for the V19 save ANYWHERE on my computer, there are no results.
If I go into Program Files (86)/Blockland (the file location for V19) and look for my saves, only the default saves are there from the default maps, albeit I have hundreds of saves from dozens of maps.
There are SOME of my addons and most of my maps located there, so it's not the wrong file.


If I search for the V20 save, it directs me to Documents/Blockland, the file location for V20. So, basically, my V19 saves are ghosts.


And before anyone asks any dumb questions:


YES, I have Hidden Files enabled.
NO, I am not a Luddite.
NO, I cannot just forget and abandon memories and projects embedded with my e-sweat and e-blood spanning the course of 4 years because of a minor technical difficulty.
YES, this issue has existed even before V20 was released (to my memory), so it's not likely that V20 has overridden my save files.


How might I be able to find my V19 files? I really want, no, NEED, to port over my saves to V20.


By the way - I spent 2 hours with half-a-dozen people on Teamviewer with this, so a common dandy with a two-sentence suggestion likely will not make an impact in my problem.
Thank you. I urgently await a response.

Are you on Vista? I used to use Vista, for some reason it never saved anything from Blockland into the right Blockland folders and put them somewhere else. I can't remember what that folder was called, though.

If you installed Blockland v19 or earlier to the Program Files folder under Vista or Win7 with UAC enabled, then your saves may be in the Virtual Store.  You can get there by pasting %localappdata%\virtualstore into the explorer address bar.

It appears that these ghost saves have been captured by my Proton Pack.
