Metaverse Submission From a Different Computer than the one the game was played on

April 17, 2003 3:28 PM from

I can only play games at my home computer which does not have internet access. However I have internet access at work but can't play games there. Is there any way to make submissions other than through the end game screen?

Thanks

No, so what I do is:

Install the game at work but don't play it there. Save my game at home a turn or two before my victory.

Copy two files from that game to CD: the *.SAV file (showing the name of the saved game) along with the folder of the same name. These are found in Data->SavedGames folder.

At work, copy and paste those files into that same location on the work computer. Launch the game, play the last few turns again ... there you go.

Of course, I tried this again today with another saved game and the game wouldn't load. I think this is a fluke, though, because I never had this problem before.

Thanks Yin. I considered doing this but was hoping there was a way to submit games without having the game loaded at work. The file information will be useful to have though. Thanks again.
