Thedodowhisperer Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 So I have played extinction in SP a bit and wanted to see if i could get some of my favorite dinos from my island save over. After launching the island i found out that my extinction profile is now on theisland. So far i havent been able to get back to my island survivor, i can see the body lying in my old base (which i now cant get in to) any tips?

NeoDeusMachina Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yes, when Extinction was released, there was an issue where the Extinction save files (map, tribe, characters, etc.) were saving in the same folder as The Island. Tribe and character files would therefore overwrite each other, but not the map files, since they have different names. There are a couple of older forum posts about that issue. They did fix it, though. They made it so the Extinction files now save in their own folder. My guess is that you did not log on your Island game since Extinction was released? So you would still have your extinction tribe/character profile saved in there instead of your old Island tribe/character files. Did you have a backup of those files somewhere? Dating back before Extinction was released or before you created your character on Extinction map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedodowhisperer Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 no Maybe I can force my old self into the tribe of my new self? would that transfer all dinos and structures? also thanks for the help, i didnt play island after extinction came out so you are most likely correct.

NeoDeusMachina Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 You could try. I think you could also probably just use admin commands to give yourself everything that you have built with your old character? That's what Id try anyway.

Thedodowhisperer Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Ok I tried about every force join tribe command there is but nothing works. My old me is just lying there and i cant claim anything. Horribly frustrating though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
