Shadowkeeper Savegames?

Post by densorteengel »

I hope someone can help me out a little here.. :)

I have recently installed shadowkeeper, along with BGII, on my new computer, but for some reason I can't find the edited savegames? There are only the normal, unedited games to choose from, in the "Load Game" area? I tried saving the edited games under various names, but they don't show up anywhere (besides in SK).

What do I do wrong/ how do I fix this?

Thanks in advance :)

Hm, I THINK it may have something to do with unzipping... anyone knows if I can get SK as a full download instead of a zipped version? :confused:

Do you have Throne of Bhaal installed? I can't remember, but I think if you don't have ToB installed, then shadowkeeper doesn't respond properly as the game is missing resources.

likely a win7/vista and/or 64-bit problem

solutions to attempt:
*install THE GAME outside games/ or program files/ program files (x86)/ - to any non-windows directory, in fact, like C:/BG2/
*remove the default "Read-only" property from the folder
* "take possession" of THE GAME folder (may belong to TrustedInstaller or some crap like that)
*run Shadowkeeper "as administrator" (right click on file) - might have to enable "administrator privileges" or something for your user
*run Shadowkeeper as the real FULL administrator user (needs to be enabled via command prompt, google for instructions) - likely unnecessary or not the only way, since I recall using Shadowkeeper back when I even didn't know about the full admin user being hidden by default by those holier-than-thou we-shalt-protect-you-from-yourself bastards at Microshaft


PS win 7-64 on i7 laptop, SK runs fine, install path C:/BG2/ though... had problems with other games that I inst'd to Program Files - couldn't run mods and stuff...

Adieu - thanks a lot, I'll give it a try asap :)

EDIT: I can't seem to find a way to run SK as an administrator... will keep trying though :)

Go go! :D
You now bear the awesome responsibility of the Metal "Unit". Gussets of wind, seams like reality, pockets of resistance, the seat of power, and legs as flared as your temper. Polish it well; the onus is now on you.
