I installed AOW2:WT on windows 7 and began to play the fire campaign. It has been one day later and I can not load my saved game.

Where does Windows 7 put the saved games? They is nothing visible stored in the folder...Program Files/Age of Wonders II/save.

Can anybody help?

I believe the path is shown in the save/load menu in the game. If you don't see them in folder - perhaps they are hidden? As for me, I use Win 8 and everything is in place.

I have Win 7 too.

They're all in C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Age of Wonders II\Save. Nothing special about it. Check for hidden files.

I think the program created files on %programfiles% are virtualized by default on Vista / Win 7. Press the "Compatibility Files" button at the toolbar on the save folder, and the saves should show up. Cannot recall how to disable the virtualization, but it should be possible, after few hours of pointless and painstaking labour.

Dunno who makes these crazy innovations on microsoft..

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Yes, the compatibility tab revealed the hidden saved games so they are now visible inside the game. Thank you!

I have found out that windows 7 a messed-up nightmare when it comes to playing PC games...the majority of my games are simply unplayable these days. Come on Microsoft; you can do better than this!!!

Cheers!

Virtualization? Compatibility files? Never saw that or had it activated! I guess I'm lucky and I like Win7 very much.
