If you have lost your save slots in Machinarium after the restart you should try these steps:
- Right-click on the screen to get to the Adobe Flash Player Settings Tabs, select the little folder icon and make sure the slider is NOT set to none! You need at least 100 KB.
- If you use CCleaner you need to exclude the save directory:
1. Open ccleaner.
2. Options
3. “Exclude”
4. Add Folder
5. Search the save path, eg C:\Users{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{RANDOMWORD}\localhost\Program Files\Machinarium\machinarium.exe
check if the box is in | *.* |
6. Accept
5. Ready now can use ccleaner and do not erase your saved game.
- If you use BetterPrivacy addon for Firefox you need to change its settings:
With Machinarium running, switch to a Firefox session. Open up Better Privacy’s options. In its “LSO Manager” tab, you will see an entry for machinarium.exe. Highlight the entry and hit the “Prevent Automatic LSO Deletion” button. Better Privacy will now leave Machinarium’s Flash settings alone, but continue to sweep away the bad stuff.

Hi, please make your games for Ipod Touch and Iphone! All are awesome!!
I’m not sure why but this solution (first one) doesn’t work with me. I still loose all progress and save after i restart my computer.
To save games in Mac, after you leave the game, make a copy of ‘Macromedia’ folder in your desktop (is in ~/library/preferences).
This is where your saved slots are. Before resuming the game (after a restart. for example) replace ‘Macromedia’ (in preferences) with the previously saved ‘Macromedia’.
This works for me (Snow Leopard, 10.6.2)
Excellente game, music. Feels like ‘Myst’ all over again!
You should put a warning inside the game with instructions on how to fix this, so people know what to do BEFORE they lose saved games. The warning should be very large & it should be displayed the first time you run Machinarium. All saved games will be deleted by BetterPrivacy when you close Firefox unless the Machinarium Flash object is specifically protected. Many people will not even bother to finish the game after this happens. Some have received advertising phone calls after visiting a site because different sites are sharing information about their visitors using persistent cookies. People should not be punished by software developers for deleting Flash cookies and other tracking files. In the future, you should avoid using Flash as a game creation tool.

Hi!
Im a game programmer in Quebec, Canada. My game designer just told us about this game yesterday, Ive just tried the demo and finally bought the full game!
I just wanted to congratulate you and your team on this great piece of work that reminds me of old days with “Day of the Tentacle”, “Myst” and other great click & puzzle games.
The music is awesome, the art is breathless and the game is very addictive!
Félicitations! (Congrats)
Keep up the good work!
I didn’t understand the concluding part of your article, could you please explain it more?
