I own two of the 8 bit games and I was playing around with 8 Bit Hordes and was having the same problem.
It turns out the games (at least Hordes and Armies) use 3 exe's (you'll see an open, client and I think the other one was instance exe's) and data is saved to different ones depending on what you're looking for.
I've used CE for years and now use CoSMOS but figuring that out was a little beyond my skills.
Criel! YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!
So for those that are searching for this, You need to:
1) Next to the "Select Game Window", Click the Toggle Button for "Toggle Window/Process List". You want to see all the processes.
2) Select "InstanceServerG"
3) Continue searching for values as normal. It will be one of the 4 that shows up.
MANY THANKS!! I don't think I would have ever figured this out!
Enjoy your holidays!!
