Save Game Location

skaparate

Hello!

I would like to suggest the change of the location of the save games, since deleting the game folder would remove the saves if You forget to backup... I did that just now and lost like 6 hours of gameplay. Maybe, like most games, they should be saved to the %userProfile% folder (or ~/ if there is a unix version)?

Thanks in advance.

I thought saves were stored in the cloud.

It doesn't support cloud saves (yet at least). If you display your games as a list (In steam client -> View -> List) a cloud icon is displayed for games that supports it; Subnautica doesn't.

An alternative (for Windows 7 or later) would be to create a folder in another place (like other HDD) and create a folder junction to that folder from the Subnautica install dir, like this:

If the subnautica saves are located in H :\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\SavedGames and you want your saves in X:\MySaves\Subnautica, then you would do the following (in CMD - Press Windows key + R, type cmd and press enter; you may need administrator privileges):

1. Create the new folder, if it doesn't exist (skip if already exists):

mkdir X:\MySaves\Subnautica

2. Change to the Subnautica data directory:

cd H:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData

3. Move the contents of the SavedGames folder to the new folder (skip if moved manually) - this effectively deletes the folder, so be careful:

robocopy SavedGames X:\MySaves\Subnautica /e /is /move

4. Create the junction:

mklink /j SavedGames X:\MySaves\Subnautica

Hope this helps someone .
