Backing up game

dulpit · 2012-10-26 13:10:16

Hey, I will be upgrading to Windows 8 shortly, want to make sure i don't lose my game, so I was going to copy the save files onto a hard drive just in case. What files am I looking to copy? (sorry if this is a stupid question...)

The whole Sports Interactive folder maybe? That's what I did when I changed laptops and I had no issues.

The contents of "\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\games" should do it, but there's no harm in copying the lot.

You'll need to refresh any custom skins. And their might be issue's with custom data packs. so try and get them configured before loading up the saved game you transfer.
