Some players may want to know where to find the Amertis save files. There are 10 in all, and they’re named game1.sol, game2.sol, etc. You will find them with the following path:
MAC OS:
Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/{random name}/localhost/game1.sol
PC-WINDOWS XP or 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{random name}\localhost\game1.sol
PC-WINDOWS Vista:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\#SharedObjects\{random name }\\localhost\game1.sol
PC-Linux:
/home/[user name]/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/{random name}/localhost/game1.sol
Depending on your precise configuration, and the language of your OS, the names may differ slightly, but those paths will give you a good idea. In any case, you can always find those Save files by searching on your hard disk with “game*.sol”, for instance.
Important information for Ccleaner (or similar cleaning software) users:Your Amertis saved games may disappear if you clean out your cookies and temporary elements without taking some precautions.
To avoid this tragedy:
- open Ccleaner (or a similar utility)
- click “options” (at the bottom). Choose “Exclude” (on the left), then “Add a folder” (on the right)
- point to the folder containing the Amertis save files. For instance, under Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{random name}\ localhost\*.*
And that’s it! You’re safe… Ccleaner will ignore that folder when doing its big cleanup!
For users of Better privacy (a plug-in for Firefox), we can also exclude saved games file:
Tools > Extensions > Better Privacy / Preferences > Edit protection List > Enter/home/[user name]/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/{random name}/localhost/
Then "Add", ok, and it should be good.
