problem with researching ufo theory.

[shgueta]

my first captured UFO was an harvester and for some reason IT doesn't open up UFO theory for research.
do i have to get a scout for that?
and what about transfer? can i transfer UFO between bases?(for research purposes)

The Harvester SHOULD open up UFO Theory. If it doesn't that's a bug.

or you are using 2.2 and not 2.2.1?

[shgueta]

i'm using 2.2.
can i update to 2.2.1 and still keep my save games?
how can i do it?

[BTAxis]

Just copy your saved games from the 2.2 save directory to the 2.2.1 one. The location of this folder is in docset\application data\UFOAI on WIndows and in .ufoai on linux and mac.

weird but i can't seem to find the directory you're talking about.
i ran a search to make sure I'm not insane, but nope, no directory in that name.
so i don't know where all my saved games have gone.
i installed 2.2.1 btw.
and when i uninstalled 2.2 i asked not to delete my save games when it prompted me.
any chance of still finding them?
what's the file type of the save games?
and do they go by the names i gave them?

[BTAxis]

No, they're called slotx.sav, where x is the number of the slot you saved it in.

found it, stupid hidden directories... 
btw 2.2.1 feels better. great sound, and finally ufo theory, and i even became an advocate for the no save in missions idealogy 
i tried moving the save games to the new save directory,
when i tried to save, an error occurred.
size mismatch, can't save game.
any way to fix that?
coz if the game keeps developing i want to keep "early start" games, so i won't have to start playing a new game every time a new release comes out.

As far as I know 2.2 saves are compatible with 2.2.1, so I don't know what's up with that.
Your saves will definitely not be compatible with 2.3, though.
