Re: Is It Safe To Move Saved Games From Drive To Drive?


Thanks a lot for the reply.

DarkAmaranth1966, I'm not sure if you completely understood what I was saying.
When I said I wanted to move my saved games from drive to drive, I actually meant the SAVED GAME FILES themselves when you make a save from WITHIN the actual game.
I mean the actual SAVED GAME FILES themselves. And they are currently installed inside a DAI game folder, on my C Drive.


I want to move all of those Saved Game Files..... FROM.... that folder on my C Drive, to a temporary folder on my D Drive, while I get my new SSD installed.
Then, once everything is finished and reinstalled, (new SSD and DAI onto the new SSD) I THEN.... want to move my DAI saved Game Files.... FROM my D Drive, TO... the new SSD, into the correct game folder itself.

I don't know if I have tried to explain this clear enough or not.

Anyway, I do find the instructions in your link a bit too complicated to understand I'm afraid.
So if it's still okay to move my Saved Game Files, I'd just like to do a very simple "cut" of the game folder they're currently sitting in, then Paste that folder.... TO..... my D Drive temporarily while I get my new SSD sorted out.

As for the actual DAI Game itself - (since I don't quite understand things in the link you provided) well I think it's going to be more simpler for me to just re-install Origin later, (onto my new SSD) login with my account info, and then just re-download the game again, then move my Saved Game Files onto it, from my D Drive.... TO.... my new SSD (using the simple cut + paste method) where my DAI Game will be installed, and the Saved Game Files will go into the correct DAI Game Folder, and hopefully still work from there.

Can someone please tell me, will I still have the possibility of things working out okay this way?

    @MissTuliptus If my post was unclear (I am having a bad brain day, so it's quite likely), what you're describing is perfectly fine. 🙂 Files should not get corrupted by simply moving them around your computer unless something is very wrong. 😉
