Hello
I have buy Evochron Legacy in 2017 (no Steam)
V1.0728
I have update to Evochron Legacy SE today.
V2.0188
All works fine, but I don't know how to import my old saves of Evochron Legacy, located at "C:\sw3dg\EvochronLegacy", in Evochron Legacy SE ?
It is say in the FAQ : "Your settings and player profiles are also preserved when upgrading."
But this is not the case for me.
My PC is under windows8.1
Evochron Legacy is install in "D:\EvochronLegacy\"
Evochron Legacy SE is install in "D:\EvochronLegacy\EvochronLegacySE\"

Re: [EL 2.0188] Importing saves from Evochron Legacy to Evochron Legacy SE
Hi Jag. If you've used the 'savedir.txt' option to force the 1.X game to point to an older or non-default folder for save data, then the SE build may not be able to find old save games. First, check to make sure the save games are not stored in the default location of '\Documents\EvochronLegacy'. If they are there, then the game should be able to detect and import them. If they are not there, then simply create that folder (full path would be %windir%\Users\YourUsername\Documents\EvochronLegacy) and copy over any version 1.X save games ('pilot*.sw' files) you want to import over to that folder (you can also include any 'flightlog*.sw', 'engineeringtemplate*.sw', and 'shiptemplate*.sw' files). Once that's done, then locate this file inside the \Documents\EvochronLegacySE (the new folder):
UpdateSE.cfg
Simply delete that file. This will instruct the game to again look for any save games in the original \Documents\EvochronLegacy folder. Once detected, it will import and convert the files as needed.

Hi
Thank you for the fast response.
That's work fine.
I have already copy old saves from "C:\sw3dg\EvochronLegacy" to "D:\Documents\EvochronLegacy"
But I don't know about UpdateSE.cfg.
Problem Solved !
