Womaz Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hi I have got a new lap top and I have transferred all of my Graphics packs etc to a new Sports Interactive folder on the new lap top. I have downloaded Steam and FM22 and when I load the game it does not find my existing save or any of my graphics packs. This is despite me taking over 4 hours to copy the folder across I am sure it is something simple that I have missed ...can anyone help with this please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fc.cadoni Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Have you installed the game in C: drive or somewhere else? Strongly advice to install the game in C: drive and have Sports Interactive (Documents) folder in C: drive as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I am not that good with this type of thing I use Steam so I just followed the instructions on there and downlaoded the game. I assume this is on my C Drive yes.....The SI Folder is def on my laptop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Once you have installed steam open the game and at the load game screen, select "load game" and browse to wherever you have stored the save game from the old computer. Select from there and it will load. You may need to clear the skin cache to apply the downloaded graphics as long as they are stored in the same folders that they were in on the old machine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the problem . I copied them over to my desktop On the old pc they were on documents folder. So I have copied the save game across into the documents folder and it has found it . So that’s a start\ However now trying to move the other files across . It starts the process , it has an estimated time of 8 hours ……but it stops doing it after about 30 mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womaz Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 I have decided to start again from scratch and download all of the packs again Its a shame as this will be a long process but it could be quicker than transferring and it kept crashing anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may b quicker just to download and install the graphics packs from scratch again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I was trying to transfer the files over it was quitting before it was finished. So I started from scratch and all appears to be working . My files are a bit of a mess with a lot of empty folders so I may delete them if I think it’s ok to do so . I assume this is because some of them were created when trying to transfer the original files In future when I update a face pack or logos etc do I tick yes to all when it asks me what to do with a replica file ? Thanks for your input it’s much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 If a new download is replacing a file, then there is no reason not to replace all files that it asks to overwrite 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For eg . I now have the updated face pack, the full download. In a few weeks an uo pdate will be available. When i download it i will be asked whether I want to overwrite the fike ....I always ansere yes to all. I have just assumed this was correct. I do the same with the logos and the Stadium packs too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 For any download that is updating files, you can accept all overwrite requests 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Womaz Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 So in my case as they are numbered it will be in that order? To get theem to go to the FC12 Kits all I would have to do is remove the numbers from the files? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
