Line 1: Line 1:

The save game is not in the same folder of the game, but in a shared folder for Adobe Flash files, then this program is designed to make a backup of it whenever possible. Just copy it to directory where you have your Machinarium.exe file and run it. You will be asked if you want to store the remote game's file to local dir and or restore this file from the local dir to the place which is used by the game.

Amanita Design also released their [http://machinarium.net/download/saves.exe own tool] to extract save-files.
CCleaner can remove the saves of this game when you run a default clean procedure. To ensure that this does not happen, you can use the following guidelines:<br />
+
{{Game Location Table|
#Go to CCleaner
+
{{Game Location Table/row|Windows|C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\(random characters)\localhost\Program Files\Machinarium\machinarium.exe}}
#Click on "Applications"
+
}}
#Uncheck Flash Player application i.e. "Adobe Flash Player" from Multimedia Group
 
#Now run ccleaner.
 
  
Or if you still want CCleaner to remove flash cookies you can add an exclusion for flash cookies that belong to to local flash files.
+
== System Requirements ==
#Open CCleaner
+
{{System Requirements
#Click on "Options"
+
|OSfamily_ = Windows
#Click on "Cookies"
+
|minOS_ = Windows XP, Vista, 7
#Search for '''localhost''' in the "Cookies to Delete" list to the left and select it by clicking on it.
+
|minproc_ = 1.8 GHz
#Click the arrow pointing right to move it over to the "Cookies to Keep" list.
+
|minmem_ = 1 GB
 +
|minHD_ = 380 Mb free
 +
}}
  
Now CCleaner won't delete "flash cookies" that some games made in flash use for saving but it will still delete them from websites that use flash.
