Hi, it's great to see you here after all this time! Glad to hear that you are still playing your games. I hope all is well.  The only thing I could find about save-game issues and this game is the thread from the Steam forum here. Maybe the last post in that thread will be useful? Sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe someone else will know more. I have not played the Director's Cut.

I'm kind of buried right now, but I will try to take a look at this later tonight or tomorrow. I'm kind of curious about how it works too!

I had this issue.. My fix was to move the game folder out of steam and then launch the game from within the folder from it's new location. The game is actually DRM free so this will work. Hope this helps

Where did you move the game folder to, barlouwin? The thread doesn't mention where and neither does Jimboy, but my suggestion would be to move the folder to My Documents. Then open the game and find the executable file and launch the game from there.

You should be able to copy and paste it to the file folder you choose. Let us know if it works.

Sorry I should have mentioned... I created a folder on my C drive called games and I just copied and pasted the The Abbeys folder into that "Games Folder" I created.. So for me it's C:/ Games

Some operating systems already have a folder on the C:// drive called Games and that might be a good place too if you have it. Thanks, jimrh69!

What could happen - on starting an entirely new Abbey installation .. is if just the SAVE folder was deleted but everything else left intact .. and then the game was started from the beginning and a first new save made ??
[That has worked for me in the past because the game simply created a replacement SAVE folder by itself and I was able to carry on playing.]
It was with a fresh installation of the game. [Which was what I did.]

That's pretty good advice from Mad. Check in the game folder and see if the Saves file is there.

Sometimes it's just best to not ask why! If it works, it works!
