I was trying to quickly copy my Alien Shooter savegame from my desktop computer onto my laptop so I could continue playing on the go. By savegame I mean the data that allows me to continue an interrupted game from the beginning of the first unbeaten level. A savegame is definitely there, I can click "Continue" in the main menu and choose my player name from the list and play.

However, I did not find the file in any of the usual places. The only files in the game's directory that have been modified less than a year ago are the logfiles and GOG's uninstaller. I could find no suspicious files or directories in my user folder, the My Documents folder, or any of the AppData folders. There is nothing in "<User>\Saved Games" or "<User>\My Documents\My Games" either.

I have found a thread on a Malaysian forum where someone asks the same question, and has a file current.sav in the game's directory, which seems to be what I'm looking for. However, my installation of the GOG version does not have that file.

Before I'm driving myself crazy looking for the thing, does anyone know where it is?

Found it :P

All the data is stored in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SigmaTeam\AlienShooter\<PlayerName>

I didn't even think to look there, I just assumed that the "current.sav" file was possibly moved somewhere else (and maybe renamed)!

If you want to transfer the save data, just use regedit, navigate to the AlienShooter node, right-click and export to a file. Then double-click that file on another computer. It also makes it very easy to cheat by simply changing the values, if that's your thing =)

Im necro posting big time but this fits this thread :D

I cant for the life of me find the save file location on Linux, I have searched high and low, in prefixes, docs, local share, by now with all the Linux playing Ive done Im used to finding them in this or that obscure place, but this game eludes me still!

In the game file it says its supposed to be here:

RegPath=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SigmaTeam\AlienShooter
DefaultSave= ;default save path

Ok, but where is that? Its not in the prefix folder, nor my home folder, there is no folder named sigmateam, I dont find a software folder with this in it either, Ive searched my root system folders too.
Anyone, or devs that might see this, pls let me know if u find it, its driving me nuts.
Specially because Id like to make a backup copy of it, and also when u uninstall games they arent always deleted, and I dont like having a folder with other potential things in it that I cant see left over (totally not paranoid).
Ty in advance.

Great game, love it!

-Edit
I never found it for the first game I, gave up.
Im playing the second game now and here it is in the documents folder.
