Can't Find Save Files

Post by NJDFan283 »

I want to edit players.ehm, but I can't find the game save files on my Windows Vista machine. The file names are visible in the load/save section of EHM, but when I navigate to the Windows Program Folder for EHM, there are only some saves that I haven't touched in years, until now.

I tried saving my current file under one of the old names, but the players.ehm file didn't change (nor did the file name appear in the EHM load/save box). I feel like I had this problem before and that the files were in some obscure part of my computer, but I obviously can't search the old Fhockey forums like I usually would (I understand why it would close, but it's a shame the forum content couldn't have been archived somehow, lots of useful stuff). I have tried searching the file name in the Windows search function, to no avail. The file loads fine in EHM, and has for 3 seasons worth of simming, I just can't seem to find them on my comp.

Anyway, that's why I'm here, hoping someone might be knowledgeable/helpful enough to give me an assist! :notworthy:

Anybody got any ideas? I know it's kind of a weird problem, but it doesn't make sense that I can play the files fine, yet there seems to be no record of them at all on the computer, seems impossible. Also, if it helps, this computer is using Windows Vista.

When I had this issue on Windows 8, it turned out the files were in C:/users/owner/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/EHM

Dunno if it works that way on Vista.

Glad it worked. Someone at fhockey told me that at the time. Not sure why Windows can't just leave stuff alone.

Same issue in windows 10.
Report maker also does it.

Making a shortcut on your desktop to the correct location is very useful.
