A general cry of help out to the community. My post to Blizzard technical support:
'I own a copy of Warcraft 2 Battle.net Edition. I recently purchased a new upgraded computer. I like to have all of my old game files for playing. I installed Warcraft 2 Battle.net Edition on my new computer, and I want to transfer my saved games from my old computer. I have read the forums, and tried www.google.com, but I cannot seem to find the saved game files on my old computer. Please help! I had beaten Tides of Darkness, and was working on Beyond the Dark Portal, and I don't want to lose all of my progress (or have to hook my old computer back up just to play). I've looked the installed folder (C:Program FilesWarcraft II BNE) and have even copied all of those files over to my new computer. The game launches and plays just fine, but it does not have any of the saved games. Any help would be much appreciated.'
Blizzard response (at least it came from a real person):
'Alas, we no longer make or support Warcraft II :('
So. Same question, can anyone remember where the heck the save game files are located?
Thanks.

Did you tried %appdata%?

Yes. C:UsersMeAppData is clear, at least of recognizable files. If anyone knows what extension the save files are, or if they have a recognizable naming convention, that would also be helpful.

Bump. Anyone old school around?

If I recall correctly the saved games were put into the game directory. That was the thing back then. If not there you can check your documents.

Last bump.
/sigh

What OS are you using on the old computer?
If you do a search for Warcraft on your computer, it should return all folders/files with that name. I'm sure the save folder has that at least at the root.
It's probably in your user folder on the account that you played.
I've never played that game but I have had to search for save files for other games.

Hey man,I was having the same problem and I stumbled upon this thread. After searching forever for the save files, I finally found them.
Here is where they were for me.

Hope that helps brother.

I had a similar issue. I started over again, but on my new ALIENWARE computer after I installed the game again and started from scratch. I no longer have the option to play or continue after the portal was destroyed on the ORC ide and after the alliance was all killed on the Human side. is there a file missing or maybe corrupted on my disc?

you can probably get most maps on the server war2ru thats where most people play it at heres the website http://server.war2.ru/modules/news/

there was no way of getting the files on my old computer because it crashed and I had to by a new one, so I am not concerned about finding the OLD files anymore. I just want to continue and play the BEYOND the dark portal part again. any suggestions?

I never actually played online yet....I just want to beat the game it self first.....I don't think I am good enough to play online. I am not one of those computer GURU type people at all. I just want to be able to get back to the part of the game that was beyond the portal.
