Hello,

I just reinstalled GTA IV with the CDs on my computer and I wanted to restore my old save, but I can't find the folder. I checked some websites and they say it's either C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames or C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\XLive, but in both cases, the folders are missing. I should mention that the game is not on the C:\ drive but on another one.
So I wanted to know where the save file is located.

Thanks! :)

    Hello,

    Game folder: Program Files/Rockstar Games/Grand Theft Auto IV

    Windows 2000/XP save folder: Documents and Settings/Windows User/Local Settings/Application Data/Rockstar Games/GTA IV

    Windows Vista/7/8 save folder: Windows User Folder/AppData/Local/Rockstar Games/GTA IV

    Saves may be linked to your Games for Windows - LIVE account. If you move your saves or reinstall your computer, it is strongly recommended to back up your Games for Windows - LIVE saves.

    Application folder: Program Files Games/Microsoft for Windows - LIVE/Client

    Windows ® 2000/XP folder: Documents and Settings/Windows User/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/xlive

    Windows Vista/7/8 save folder: Windows User Folder/AppData/local/Microsoft/xlive

      Hello,
      I already found that and actually for me, they are not there.

        You need to start playing for the game to make an initial save.

        Only then can you replace this save with your own.

        I have already saved the game. That's why I'm quite desperate; I can't find my save file.
