[Feature Request]: redirect save and profile to alternate folders

Open k0pp0 opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Describe the feature you'd like to see added

Would like the option to move the default save locations for the game (pretty please)

Idea: move save files to OneDrive/Dropbox to sync across devices. @emoose

For now, I guess you can hardlink your saves folder to the Dropbox/Onedrive/Google Drive desktop volume/folder so it syncs online. I used to do that ages ago.

Yeah, that was the backup option, but wondered if it could be picked instead.

Looks like there's just a single function that returns the savegame dir, would probably be pretty easy to redirect.

There's a few options we could use, any ideas which would be best?

  • C:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Games\OutRun2006
  • C:\Users\xxx\Saved Games\OutRun2006
  • C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\OutRun2006

Going by what chatgpt says the documents folder might work best for most cloud services, hm

AppData\Roaming is the best bet I think, that's where most modern games store the save file.

C:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Games\OutRun2006

This means the automatic one drive sync would pick it up.

Or a value in the tweaks ini file?
