Title: Saving the game.
Post by: davenwolf on November 29, 2009, 01:02:40 am
First let me say that Machinarium is awesome. I purchased a copy last friday and the whole family in madly in love with the game. We have one dilemma though! After enjoying the game for about 4 hours and numerous saves we shut the pc down and went to bed. The next morning I ran as i always do a program called CCleaner to get rid of junk files and the like. The only problem is that it wiped my saves as well  :'( :'(. Can anyone tell the the path to the save file so I can exclude it from being wiped?
thanks Davenwolf   ;D

Sorry to read of your lost save games, davenwolf.

The subject of CCleaner wiping Machinarium saved games has previously been addressed on this forum in great detail.
Use Search (http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php?action=search) and type in "CCleaner" to see the full extent.

Meanwhile, for now, just:

1. Open ccleaner.
2. Options
3. "Exclude"
4. Add Folder
5. Search the save path, eg C:\Users{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{RANDOMWORD}\localhost\Program Files\Machinarium\machinarium.exe
check if the box is in | *.* |
6. Accept
5. Ready now can use ccleaner and do not erase your saved game.
