    Tyrell: Those folder names above (e.g. BCES00078-GAMEAUTOSAVE) are just examples, every game will have a different code.

    All the files related to a game save need to be inside one of those appropriately named folders, so if the zip does not contain the folder then perhaps the name of the zip will indicate what folder you will need to create.
