Saved games

Do I need to save the player game info from origin, I know with steam you just reinstall and everything is saved on steam servers. Also what about minecraft. I need to formate ,reinstall on my son's hd.

Okay Lisa. I don't have either Minecraft or any games on Origin but I was able to find these for you:

It looks like Origin has your games on their servers. As far as saving the Minecraft game. It looks like you dig for the minecraftWorls folder and save it on a flash drive and reinsert it after the reinstall.

Awesome thanks man. Off to read

MineCraft you need to back up the Appdata/Minecraft directory. As for Origin I'm not sure.

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds

This is file? Correct?

I had Sims 3 on my computer for a short time and it was backed up.

Launch Run and type %appdata% and press enter. This will open the appdata directory. Find the MineCraft directory and back it up.

That's better than what I posted. Thank you:)

Not all games will save to the Steam cloud, especially older titles. I would recommend trying a game save manager. The two that I use are 'GameSave Manager' and 'MASGAU'. They will not pick up on every game, but will get most of them.
