What this reference covers
Save files can be surprisingly fragile. A misplaced file, incompatible version, or accidental overwrite can turn a simple transfer into a lost-progress problem.
File transfers
Understand what to check when moving save files between devices or installations.
Read the transfer guide →Troubleshooting
Work through common symptoms such as missing saves, rejected files, or progress that fails to load.
Open troubleshooting →A SIMPLE RULE
Never experiment with the only copy of a save.
Before changing folders, replacing files, moving between installations, or testing a compatibility fix, make a separate backup. It takes much less time than reconstructing lost progress.
This site focuses on practical file-management habits rather than promising that every save will work across every version or platform.
