Okay, so before changing my comp. everything worked 100% fine in Worms 4. But then, when I changed my PC, I didn't want to lose my achieved stats, so I took my SaveGame.xom file. When I installed Worms on my new comp, I put my save file in blablabla/Codemasters/Worms4/data, and, just in case, in Databank folder (copied it).

I was surprised that it actually worked, it read all of my previously saved teams and stats. BUT! Every change I make to the game (create new weapons, teams, gain gold), and after that, exit the game, next time I start the game, none of the new changes are there! For example, I had an old gun, then deleted it, next time I start the game, its still there. The game 'restores' the stats from my old save file, the one I took from my old PC.

I know it aint so serious, but it's pretty anoying to create new teams/guns again and again as I start the game.

Any suggestions?:confused:

Thanks! It does work. I know it might sound n00bish why I didn't do that myself but:

1. When I installed the game, I HAD to put the save file both in Databanks and in Data, 'cause the game wouldn't recognise it.
2. I didn't wanna risk losing my saves AGAIN (when I tried moving the saves, doing something else to them, the game crashes!), but now I see that I had to risk it.
3. Just removed the save from Databank. The game didn't crash... Don't know why.

Well, I guess the problem is solved now, but then again, I'll go through this trouble again when I install Worms 4 on a new PC. LOL, it's worth it.:p

Thanks
