When i play online with my mate, We transfer the file ready to play next time. I do this by my dataclip. However, on either machine, and sometimes when i transfer it vista to vista, the save just comes up with xxxxxx on both the file name and date. I think its my dataclip, could anyone else try it for me please?

Also, if it is my dataclip, could i try using an internet based file sharer and does anyone know a good site for it?

I will send saves attached to emails for people to try.

Sometimes the saves work, other times it refuses to.

Maybe it might be the fact i have the balogan nuke mod but i have them on all three. I have installed all of them again and put the mod back on but to no use. I never used to have this problem when playing the demo so maybe its the mod crapping it up?

Also it wont let me delete the save. Maybe i should reinstall the game on my machines then try to transfer saves without the mod, however if it craps up again then maybe i should try transfering it over the internet or getting a new dataclip, maybe i should format it?

I have reformated my dataclip to a FAT format, is this the best one?

What does anyone else use to transfer savegames after a match?

I can't see whether reformating has worked because i only have my laptop as my computer is being serviced.

Do you think i should attach the save to an email and then send it to my other email address on the other computer then move it into my savegame folder?

I have sorted it i think, i thought it was the size of the file as the larger ones wouldn't work. But i have reformated my dataclip. I have put it to default something or another in the third box on vista formating tool. I had trouble before transfering large files like installers and this is what the problem probably was. I have now tried taking saves from xp to vista and it works. It now also works vista to xp. It was just my dataclip being screwy all along.
