    Here you are. Bel2102.sav is the new name. I've just sent it to SmacxVeteran and Mart.

    Please let me know if it is ok.

      It still doesn't work.

      I attach a link to a webpage, where they explain differences between Mac OS and Windows file and folder paths:


      The idea is that your mac machine uses a path containing only one symbol ":"
      I'm not sure if that would work, maybe.

      E.g. now in the recent file i can read the file path:
      LaCie disk:Fabulous 2:Jeux:Alpha Centauri & Alien Cro#7150:Sauvegarde:Bel2102 _Believers_2102

      Is your hard drive named LaCie disk?

        Bodissey, let's try the following. Attached is a short game with two human players.
        Believers - password - b
        Angels - password - d

        Place unzipped save file in the root folder, so its path is:
        LaCie disk:Angels_to_m_2134
        not in the save folder in the installation folder.
        load the save from root folder
        then you can right away end turn.
        save it again in the root folder of your hard drive. computer may prompt for it right away or it can ask you to save it in the game save folder -> but then browse all the way back to hard drive root folder. you can also change name so not to override the file you loaded.
        then send it by email or attach here.

        some explanation.
        Multiplayer games are encrypted. in one place I can see the path that is not encrypted, but there may be encrypted path somewhere in the file. So when I edit the readable one, this does not help. it's only my guess, but maybe we will get it work.

        Edit: file removed

          Ok, I just understood the root concept. Sorry for being so tech-impaired.

          I intend to retry ("always choose retry").

          And LaCie disk is the name of my second hard drive.

          Enc: file.

            Well, I was just browsing the forum for solution, but someone has already tried root folder.
            However, they solved the problem in other way, just trying it now...

              Ok, I got it to work.
              The solution is in ACDG3 forum. what needs to be corrected is other location of the path (Sperber gave it). Root folder doesn't work. Good news is that you can save in any folder on mac (or almost any folder )and it should work ok.

              Kody wrote a short executable, that doesn't work on my computer - it's drag and drop, and maybe vista doesn't allow that on my computer.

              We can do it this way.
              I'll send a fixed file to you, SmacxVeteran together with original and the executable. You can try, if that exe works on your comp. If not, I can write a new exe that will read the file of your choice and make the change in required place.

                Mart, thank you so much for the time you spent to fix the problem.

                I would be so bold as to ask you to forward me this foretold .exe once it's coded.

                This way I might be able to play with other PC users.

                Thanks again.

                    I sent a zip with exe to SmacxVeteran.
                    However the zip needed renaming to .z - before extracting you need to rename it back to .zip

                    you can also download it from the post:


                    The corrected file is also attached, in case the exe doesn't work. then we make a new exe.

                    Bodissey, I have to leave now, but will be back in a few hours. Then I'll send you the exe, but actually you can download it from the link also. It is for windows, so for mac it will not work afaik. There is code in c though so it can be compiled on mac
