saving pc game dilema

[christy053]

hi i just started to play a old pc game adventure one called syberia it is quite long and i got half way throught but then with 5the game been old it has got scratched and so crashes at a certain part ( i cant take it back as i bought it ages ago) so i am going to buy the game again ( i can get it for about a fiver) !BUT when i then install this new disk will it clear all my saved game off my old one and iwill i have to start from the beggining again or will i still be at my last saved point x

new games often give u the option to save the content if you uninstall it but older ones often dont.

to be safe i'd just save your save file to desktop and replace it with the new one thats created once you've reinstalled correctly (added the same patches)

thing is though you shouldn't have to reinstall i dont think. just start using the new disk.

or you could save yourself �5 and download the no-cd fix from www.gamecopyworld.com , install the fix and your comp wont go looking for the cd and you can then play without it.

no need to install if its already installed. so in short no

I know this is a late reply (just seen it).....but exactly where are you crashing?

Is it when you are in the University section of the game? (coming down from the ladder?)

There are some known issues like this....and workarounds.

iya it freezes when i get into the second train station and am just about to leave and i have *** down the stairs from gettin the egg from the nest
then it crashes . the game is a copy which is probably the reason
thankyou
