Backing up Skyrim save file trouble...

Post » Fri Jun 08, 2012 5:05 pm

Ok, so I recently came across the "Dampened Spirits" glitch where the quest would not start. Sadly I had no saves before the glitch started and I had to start a whole new game which svcks because I had 50+ hours into it. Anyways, now I'm being smart and creating a new save every time and not just overwriting. I didn't want to have a bunch of different game saves on my ps3 so I thought I'd dedicate a flash drive just for skyrim game saves. The problem is every time a try to transfer the saves over to the flash drive it keeps overwriting the previous one. Is there no way to store them all? From the looks of it you can only store ONE Skyrim game save on an external device. Anyone know any ways around this?

Sorry if this was confusing =/

I don't know if this'll help exactly. But have you tried sticking the the flash drive in the PC and renaming the first save? Maybe it's only overwriting 'cause it's the same name?

Actually yes that's the reason it is overwriting because it says the same name already exists. Ok that sounds like a pretty good idea. I just wonder if me renaming it would confuse the ps3 and cause it to not recognize the file. I'm going to try it out. Awesome idea! Thanks man!

No problem, let me know if it works out. I shouldn't think the name will affect it though.
