Saved bots don't appear in the Robot Designs folder
« on: July 18, 2015, 03:15:22 PM »
I imported a bunch of bots I made in DSL 2.1, but when I checked the Robot Designs folder it said they would be in, they weren't there.

However, exporting them in game works perfectly fine.

Any way to fix this?

Check if you are showing hidden files and if the folder is read-only

I assume you installed RA2 from CD because I did this as well and I had the exact same problem. For some unknown reason, the exported bots went down this path for me:

C:/Users/Family/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Infogrames/Robot Arena 2/Robot Designs

If it is not this exact path for you, start at the AppData folder and continue from there. I have no clue why it does this; as Naryar said,
Sometimes this game is on crack.

The folder isn't read-only, and I just enabled the viewing of hidden files. It made no difference.

I downloaded Robot Arena 2 from this website with DSL 2.1 pre-installed.

Okay. I found them here. Thanks.
I even discovered an old bot I made the day I got this game. Thought I lost it.
