Then by placing them in a specific folder, you can play on without having to go through a difficult section yourself.

Also, many do not pay attention to the game settings. It will certainly be difficult for you to complete missions if the game slows down, but in most cases this can be avoided by setting the minimum video requirements.
It is to the video and specials. effects - sound does not affect speed. These two recommendations, I think, will help you significantly increase the passing of the games, and you will no longer look for where to save to miss some missions.
If you need saves and you don’t know where to download them, then here is the link

Having followed it, you will find “savings” to almost all available (popular) ones. Download, install, rejoice. Good luck.
Many inexperienced computer users cannot find a file downloaded from the Internet. It seems that the file downloaded successfully, but it is not clear where exactly. You can try to find it by opening all the folders in a row, but you can spend a year of your life without finding anything. So what to do? Where are the files stored on the computer? Where then to look for them?
Where files are saved in the browser
But, let's sort it out gradually. Consider the procedure for finding files using the most popular browsers.
If you use Internet explorer, then even before downloading the file, you can save the document in a place convenient for you by clicking “Save As”. After which, a new window should open, in which you need to select the desired folder, and click "Save." If you just clicked save and have no idea where the file was saved, then go to your browser’s settings and then to “View downloads”. As a result, a list of downloaded files opens, from which you need to select the one you need.
The process of saving the file to opera browser similar to the previous one. To search for a previously downloaded file, you need to find “All downloads” in the left functional panel and click on it, after which a list of all downloaded files will open, and you just have to find the one you need.
FROM firefox browser things are somewhat more problematic. The problem is that when saving a file, it does not ask to specify it for saving, and sometimes there are difficulties with its search. To find the necessary download, go through the following menu chain: "Tools"\u003e "Downloads", and then find the file in the window that opens.
If you are an ardent supporter google browser Chrome, then you can find the just downloaded file in the panel below, or go to the "settings" and select "downloads" and look for it in the list.
It is also worth knowing where the downloaded files are saved through the Torrent program. The file is saved in my documents or in the download folder, however, the file storage location can be changed by going to the program settings.
If you did not change the settings in the browser or torrent, then the files are saved by default to a folder at the address D: \\ Users \\ Username \\ Downloads.
Where temporary files are stored
Many are also interested in the question: where are temporary files stored? The location of temporary files depends on which files you are looking for.
Temporary program files are saved on that hDDwhere installed operating system. That is, you need to open, for example, drive C, then go to the "Documents and Settings" folder, then to the "Username" folder, then to "Local Settings", and finally to the "Temp" folder (For Windows XP) or first drive C, then "Users", then the folder "Username", then "Local Settings", and "Temp" (for Windows Vista and 7)
If you are interested in the location of temporary browser files, then you should look for them in the drive chain C: \\ users \\ Username \\ Local Settings \\ Application Data \\ Browser Name.
If all attempts to find the file were unsuccessful, but you remember at least part of its name, then use the standard Windows search.

The information in the article is relevant only for personal computers running Windows, starting with Vista and older.
My Documents Folder
In this section windows systems You can find save games from the following companies and developers:
- Electronic Arts prefers to put the save directly into the folder, so you will immediately see the data of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Mirror "s Edge, Mirror" Edge: Catalyst, data and other materials of all games of the FIFA series.
- Please note that the EA Games folder can be created right there, where there will be save from Dead Space 2, Dead Space 3.
- All games in the Need for Speed \u200b\u200bseries are placed in My Documents, or in subfolders with the names of development studios, for example, Criterion Games (Hot Pursuit (2010), Most Wanted (2012)), Ghost Games (Need for Speed: Rivals, Need for Speed \u200b\u200b(2015)).
- But BioWare prefers to place all its games in a separate subfolder of the same name, in the "My Documents" directory. There you will find saves from Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition and others.
- You can’t help but walk past Rockstar Games - in the name folder, in the My Documents directory, there are saves from GTA 4, GTA 5, Max Payne 3 and others.
- Ubisoft games are also often placed in the “My Documents” folder - there you will find Assassin's Creed, ANNO, and many others.
- And, of course, WB Games - the preservation of Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham City GOTY, Batman: Arkham Origins, Batman: Arkham Knight, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor are in the "My Documents" folder.
- Other publishers and developers also love this folder - in it you will find recent hits such as Lords of the Fallen, Witcher 3, Project CARS, Dying Light and many others.
My Games folder
I would also like to pay attention to the “My Games” folder located all in the same “My Documents” directory - there are saved Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, GRiD series, Dirt series, Sid Meier "s series Civilization, Borderlands series, X-Com series, The Elder Scrolls series and, of course, Watch Dogs preservation.
Saved Games Special Folder
Few people even know about the existence of such a folder. However, if you go to C: \\ Users \\% Username% \\ Saved Games, you can find saves from Crysis 2, Crysis 3, RAGE, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Risen 3: Titan Lords, Command & Conquer 3 and others.
Folder roaming
The Roaming system folder is located at C: \\ Users \\% UserName% \\ AppData \\ Roaming. Many developers put their games there to save, but you need to look not only directly for subfolders with the name of a game, but also subfolders with the names of developers.
In the “Roaming” folder you can find the saves of the following games:
- Battle for Middle-Earth and Battle for Middle-Earth 2, and all add-ons;
- all games of the Total War series, including Total War: Shogun 2, Total War: Rome 2, Total War: Attila in a subfolder of The Creative Assembly;
- profiles of some Ubisoft games - Assassin's Creed series, Anno series, Tom Clancy's series;
- Cities: Skylines in a subfolder named Colossal Order;
- and some others.
Program Data and LocalLow Folder
The system folder “Program Data” is located at C: \\ ProgramData. As usual, you need to search for games to save not only directly by the names of a particular game, but also by subfolders with the name of the development studio. As an example, you can cite the latest games from Codemasters - DiRT 3: CE, GRID 2 and GRID: Autosport - the save from them are in this folder.
In the second case, you need a folder located at C: \\ Users \\% UserName% \\ AppData \\ LocalLow. Here you can find the Warhammer 40,000: Regicide save (in the Hammerfall Publishing folder), as well as save indie projects, for example, Armikrog (in the PencilTestStudios folder).
Where do indie games store saves?
In this case, you must first look directly in the game folder. However, if the game was released on Steam, then start the search from the "My Documents" folder, and then follow the instructions above.
Where do old games store saves?
If we are talking about games from 2000-2010, then the advice will be the same - the “My Documents” folder, the “My Games” sub-folder in the same place, the “Saved Games” system folder, and the “Roaming” system folder.
In addition, pay close attention to the folder itself with established game - there will probably be a folder “Data” or “Saves” with the saves.
Where do Origin games store saves?
Since this client is part of the Electronic Arts online store, the main My Documents folder will be the main place to search.
Where do Uplay games store saves?
IN lately all Ubisoft games occupy quite a few folders on the computer. Saves may be stored in My Documents, but game profiles, without which they would be useless, will be located in the Roaming folder, and some license information should be found in C: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ Ubisoft \\ Ubisoft Game Launcher.
Where do Battle.Net games store their save?
Alas, the games from Blizzard do not store any significant player data on his personal computer, everything lies on the company's servers.
Where do Steam games store saves?
In this case, you won’t have to run anywhere. It will only be necessary to clarify the details. Steam Client stores all the saves in its folder, for example, \\ Steam \\ userdata \\ 123456789, where 123456789 is the unique digital identifier of the user. I believe that most in the \\ Steam \\ userdata directory will have one folder, since only one account is registered.
We go into our conditional folder "123456789" and we see there a bunch of folders with digital names. To find the right one, compare the date of installation of the game with the date of creation of the folder, if it was a long time ago and you no longer remember or for whatever reason, refer to.
Just enter a digital code into the search and pay attention to the end of the search results, block "Apps found for 242700":
Now let's talk about pirate games
Just note that the preservation of pirated games, licensed versions of which are distributed using Uplay or Origin, will lie all the same places as in the case of purchase. So you can easily find them by resorting to the instructions above.
Games from Blizzard, as mentioned above, have become entirely network, so there is nothing to pirate.
But with pirated Steam-games have to tinker, because the save, as mentioned above, have a digital code.
You can find this digital code through the same one, just enter the name of the game in the search, and also select the Game item in the App Type menu or you can go to Google asking “where is the licensed version of Game Name” stores the save “or“ where is the Steam version Game Name "stores save".
As soon as you find out the AppID, feel free to run a search on drive C or on the drive where you have Windows installed. The fact is that various repackers and crackers place the saves of pirated games released on Steam in completely different folders, these can be system folders like “Roaming”, “ProgramData”, subfolders with the names of release groups or crackers. Manually sorting through all the options is just a waste of time.
Many players do not think about where the computer can save their game files. Having made some progress in the game, the player may want to roll back their actions, and it may also be necessary to find the desired save. It may arise due to the fact that the player forgot to perform an important action in the game. How to find where the games are saved? In this article, we will find out where so-called game saves can be located on Windows.
Saved Location
Games are usually saved to system drive. As a rule, he has the letter C in the name.
To find the save on the system drive:
- go to "My Computer" and select drive C;
- having opened it, go to "documents and settings", after that select account - "local settings-applications";
- another way to find your save is to go to the "My games" section in the "Documents" folder;
- finally, you can go to the folder of the game itself, which will most likely be located in C / Program Files / Games. Look for the save files there by scrolling to the bottom;
- we draw your attention to the fact that if you want to download the save from the network, for example, in order to pass a certain mission, or rather to jump through it, then most likely the file is saved in the "Downloads" folder. Do not forget that you need to download the save from verified sources, so as not to download a virus program that can harm the game and the computer.
The Downloads folder is located in the Documents folder. You can learn more about where games can be saved from the article.
