Steam question

[TriplexDread]

Hi peeps

I Need to format drive when steam syncs does it automatically backup your game saves?

Arggghhh

TIA

Depends, some games yes it does.

Grab yourself Game Save Manager, that should at least help in backing them up.

Also check your Documents > My Games folder.

Yes, as V_R says, some do some don't and Saves from games in the Steam Folder can crop up all over the show.

Here's a few locations in Win 7, all drive C: My Documents; Program Files (x86); Program Data; Users/Your Name/ Game Saves; Users/App Data/Local; Users/Your Name/App Data/Roaming and of course within the Steam folder itself.

And I've probably missed a location or two. Don't make it easy do they? Best thing is to make a note of each location then save all your saves to a dedicated folder and reinstall them after Steam reinstall.

Good luck

Slave the drive on another machine?

 

[TriplexDread]

Yeah could do I suppose, just impatient

Could do with my bookmarks aswell I guess

What browser?

If its Firefox just copy the whole Mozilla folder found at "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming"

Then just drop it back on the new install. It will be just as you left it, bookmarks, addons etc.
