FEAR save game location is.... where?

[Vampirrella]

Ive finished FEAR a while ago now and id like to uninstall the game. But before i do, i like to backup my save games and store them along with all the other save game folders i have. Thing is ive looked in the obvious places and cannot find the saves for it.

Any ideas?

Did you check your My Documents folder?

I hate when games save there...

Speaking of saving.. why wouldn't FEAR let me save at all during some parts? I got really far and it wouldn't let me save, then I dropped down this hatch into water, played the CG of a blood river and a skeleton coming after me, then BOOM the game stops and it says - disconnected from server?!?! WHAT SERVER?! WTF! Now I have to start REALLY far back!!

Never happened to me.

Games put the saves there so if others want to play the game on your PC, they can play under their own XP log in. The game then will keep their player profile and saved games seperate from yours so your wife/kids don't come along and save over your saved games. Trust me, this is a good thing.

Back in the good old days you just chose "make new character" or whatever, and the game would make another folder in the savegames directory...

FEAR has the option for multiple profiles.
Didn't see any saves in My Docs though.

Try doing a search in the FEAR directory for a modified date of a few days ago (or whenever your last save was).
