thanks , just like the walkthrough . i will give i a try , i guess it don't mater witch is the 1st , i will start at my last save. and go from there , i think that is where i got the note and dragon ring , i will go on down that path . how does that sound.???? please let me know ok.

That sounds fine. Let us know how it goes.

ok will do .

That map will be your guide.

yikes , i tried to go back to my last saved game but my last saved game is where pibody is just before taking the key from this jacket , now what do i do ? that's a long way from where i need to be . send help soon. going nuts .

Unless all your saves have disappeared, I would try again. Look carefully at the dates on the saves.

thanks for getting back to me ,no not all of my saves have disappeared , and i did checked the dates , but when i clicked on the newer ones it don't take me into my game , what do you think is going on ? the only one is the one that is about Pibody just before i get the key from his jacket , the walkthrough said to save so that is what i did. is this crazy or what . that is a long way from where i need to be . is there a short cut to get where i need to be?

I have no idea what's going on.

You can find many saved games here.

That would be your only "shortcut" if your saved games are messed up.

I can't imagine why if you can see your newer saved games, they won't load. Do you see the Dracula icon in your taskbar down below? Have you rebooted your computer lately? You might try that if you haven't. Otherwise, I'm afraid Marian's saved games link is your only option.

thanks , yes i have rebooted it. i will check and see if the Dracula icon is one the bottom , is that after i start game ? Marian saved games link . how do i get that ? i checked and no icon at the bottom. yikes this is crazy . i guess I will need Marians help . how do i get her to help ?

Ok. So somehow, your saved games have disappeared. What you need to do is download the correct saved game - #25, past the sewer rats - and move it into your saved games file. This could be tricky because I don't know where your saved games are. Let me see if I can find where mine are.

All I could find was this... C:\Program Files\Dracula The Last Sanctuary. There were two saved games listed as .bin files. You might be able to download the saved game and drag and drop it into that file.

i can't find a saved game after the after the sewer rats , that will load . looks like i need Marians help and soon. going nuts ,

Drac, the saved games are zip files. I won't be around the rest of the evening, but if you see this, perhaps you can explain to deleterman about zip files. I will be gone part of the day on Tuesday morning as well.

deleterman, you will need to download save game #25, after the sewer rats. Then you will need to unzip it... just right click and select Extract all and then follow the prompts to unzip the file. Then you will need to drag and drop the unzipped file into your Dracula The Last Sanctuary file at the location I gave you above.

You might see if you can get someone to help you.

thanks,wow that is looks like starting over . one other thing - when i click on a saved game , any date , i get my inventory. that is odd. that is y i can't start my saved game. this is crazy. i think i will just give up on this game ....

As much trouble as you've had with it, I'd have to agree with you. Gaming is supposed to be relaxing and fun! This doesn't seem like it has been either for you!

yeah , not been much fun at all. looking for fun game any thoughts on what would be a good one to play ?

Do you like casual games like those from Big Fish? There are some really good fun ones out there and most of them have a skip button if you're having problems with a puzzle.

yes I do , and there great . playing 1 now . having fun now ....

That's more like it! Gaming should be fun, not drive you nuts! Which one are you playing?

playing = mystery p.I . stolen in san francisco .

Have fun!

this is a fun game . love it.

this is way to hard, looking for something more easy to play . be back tomorrow .

You might want to look into playing some of the casual games on Big Fish, particularly the hidden object puzzle adventure games. They all offer hints and also a skip button if a puzzle is too difficult. I play them often and find them both fun and relaxing.
