    @Wolfie_GirlXox  When you click Load Game, choose a save and hover over the folder icon that shows up along with the other info about that save.  You'll see the save file name, e.g. Slot_0000000d.save, included in the file path.

Thankyou! If I rename the file will it mess up the game?

    @Wolfie_GirlXox  Yes, renaming the file will prevent the game from recognizing the save, unless you keep the proper format.  Each save needs to be labeled Slot_ followed by an eight-digit hexidecimal number, as in, 0 to 9, a to f.  So these are all acceptable names:

    Slot_0000000a.save

    Slot_00000012.save

    Slot_00011111.save

    If you name your save something else, it won't load until you change it back to something with the correct format.
