I regret spending money on this game, I should have just pirated it. I'm trying the command script solution, but if it doesn't work, I'm done with Machinarium. It's too bad, the game was kind of fun too. The saves just keep getting deleted. I regret spending money on this game, I should have just pirated it.

In order to keep save files I have to repeat this procedure in Better Privacy every time I load Firefox. Machinarium is creating a new directory every time I use it.

At a minimum you should present a warning so that people don't lose their game! I just played for several hours, saved the game, verified it showed up under load, and quit and still lost it because I block LSO storage.

All I have is play and resume game. (I play on steam if that helps; mac) So I started a new game to show my wife the first level, and now I lost everything! Love the game, but this has taken 100% of the fun out. I was very happy with my progress, and now I have to go through the first 1/2 of the game all over again. Fix this problem or you will loose customers! I don’t see any save slots. All I have is play and resume game.

"Developers should know that having safe, stable save files is a MUST" - I agree 100%! I am running Machinarium on Mac, I've tried EVERYTHING you suggested here, and my saves have disappeared randomly several times now. I, too, give up on this game, until you come up with a solution that isn't a major pain in the backside...

This seems obvious, but if you were to save it as a text file first and then try to "save as" with the new "all files" option, then it still won't save it right. Just make sure to save it right the first time. Then, make a shortcut of the file to your desktop (after putting the .cmd file in the program file directory like he says) and right click it and go into properties. Then change the boring looking icon with the Machinarium one that can be found with an easy google search. Oh, you might need to open the picture up with an image editing program to re-save it as a .ico file so you can use it. And voilà, your shortcut on your desktop looks (about) the same as the original. Anyone who wants to follow what Marvin42 said needs to save the file as “all files”, not the default text file option.
