Thanks Microsoft

Thanks again for confusing the hell out of me. So I am not sure if this is a bug or something that was designed this way.

So this weekend I finally sucked up and bought the Fable 2 Expansion. Now when I decide to start playing the expansion I could not find my save games, now this is pretty annoying for one because I had put quite a bit of time into the game. After a bit of pondering I realized that the save must be on my brothers 360 since mine had red ringed when the game came out.

So after checking the memory on his 360 I was right, my save was indeed there but it was listed as an unknown users save. Now to explain how the confusion came about I need to show you how the Saves were listed on the hardrive.

Save1 –> Unknown User

Save1 –> Hasan (Brothers Name)

Save2 –> Hasan (Brothers Name)

So I popped my brothers saves first onto my memcard and let him play as normal on my 360 (Since I have a bigger LCD than his, he enjoys using my 360). Later that night I decide what the hell let me play the new expansion as well and copy my save from his 360 onto the memcard , but when doing this it asks me if I want to overwrite my brothers existing Save1 .So after a quick check it seemed fine to overwrite the save since he wasn’t using the save. After plugging the memcard back into my 360 and launching the game I found that I couldn’t find my save game. After checking the system it seemed that the save had copied over onto the memcard. I then logged into my brothers profile and lo and behold my save was there but it was only valid in his 360 profile.

So basically what I figured was that during the overwrite the save is overwritten but it keeps the profile under the user that it was created as. So to fix this I simply created a save using my profile and then overwrote it again with my brothers save. This sorted out the problem but it still begs the question why did the overwrite not overwrite everything (in the save file). I guess the alternative would have been for me to delete the save and then move my save but it’s not the easiest way to get a simple task done.

O well that’s that let me know if you had anything similar.
