Hi Derek, The saves for this game if using XP can be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\(computer name)\Application Data\Games\dracula\saveIf the folder doesn't appear, it might be hidden so then try this: Open a folder - any folder. Go to Tools at top bar. On the drop down menu, select Folder Options. Go to View on the new frame. Look for that folder icon with 'Hidden files and folders'. Select or tick on - Show hidden files and folders. Then look for the C:\ file as above in bold.

I'm not familiar with Win 8. Have you tried running a file search for "dracula" to see what comes up?

Did you look in the same Application Data file as you did in Windows 7?

Do you have hidden files enabled on your Windows 8 computer?

I can't install Dracula Origin on my Windows 8 or I'd check for you, petjo. You may have already tried this, Drac, but did you change compatibility on the installer before running it? And did you run the installer as an Administrator? And Petjo, when you installed the game, what folder did you install it to? - C:\Program Files ?
- C:\Program Files (x86) ?
- A folder inside My Documents ?
- or somewhere else?
Also do you have Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 ?

Do you have a disc version while Petjo has a download version? I have a disc version, but I know there is also a Steam version, a Gamersgate version, a Big Fish version, and probably other download versions as well.

See if it's the same as for Win 7. Follow this manoeuvre:
Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization, Folder Options, View, Advanced Options, Show Hidden Files

It is the same as Windows 7... the easiest way to get to Control panel is to right click down in the very lower left corner of the screen and select Control Panel. Or on the Start page, just start typing Control Panel. You can also right right click it once you have it and pin it to your Start page.
