I got MPQ through Steam, and had thought it would be bound to my Steam account. Seems not. I use my Steam account on another computer and just found it thinks I have a completely different profile. Or something. Is there a way to transfer my saves to my other computer? ---

Just the manual stone age method for now. The save is located in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Demiurge Studios\Marvel Puzzle Quest Pop that onto the other computer and you’ll load your save. ---

It worked! \o/ You’re awesome, I don’t care what they’ve been saying. (I think I only had to copy the mpq\_save.dat file, incidentally.) ---

For your save, yes. The advantage of copying the Data directory is that it’ll also snag any minor patches so you don’t have to redownload on a fresh install. Not that the minor patches are that big, but still. ---

Hi Ice I’m thinking of buying the Steam version. I’m already playing on my tablet. Would the 2 accounts be linked? ---
