Where are the UFO AI save files located?
« on: December 15, 2009, 02:22:42 am »
My version of UFO AI seems to have corrupted, none of the text shows up in research and intro for some odd reason, and it's actually quite annoying. So I thought if I did a fresh install it'd wipe everything. Not so, it still remember my old save, and that's where things started to go wrong, as it was fine until I exited mid battle. So I now want to eradicate all preferences/saves/etc but they aren't in the usual places such as the library.

So where exactly are these save files?

sorry meant to say 10.5+ mac OS...

yea for some reason when i had loaded a saved game all the text in all communications is now missing... the heading comes up but the text is missing and instead i see the name of the text file that should be there....

anyways - thought it's related to the above, and want to reinstall the game. however, i can't find the /.ufoai file for my saved game - i don't want to start from scratch!

Go to 'go to folder" in finder and type in `/.ufoai it should take you there. I think there isn't a way to make it better at the moment once it screws like that. I have since given up until the next release.
