| Summary | 0004006: Please allow Saves/Worlds to be saved to different directory | ||||
| Description | Currently, game saves and worlds are saved under the game's directory. This makes backing the files up more difficult. It would be better if those types of files were saved under a common location like ProgramData or ApplicationData in Windows, or Libraries/Application Support in OS X. | ||||

Not exactly a fix, but you can symlink the directory to a different one. Read up on "ln -s" in osx or "mklink" in windows |

Normally I'd be a big proponent of this, but as I play more and more games via Steam I'm inclined to say keep them in an easily recognisable save folder within the game directory. YES it is a poor way of doing it from a housekeeping perspective (Especially people who use more than one user account on a machine, but that's where I'd suggest building in the option to use Steam Cloud... if/when AVWW comes to Steam :p). The worst thing on the (gaming) planet is the lack of consistency between devs/publishers and where they keep their respective data - makes a true backup/restore nigh-impossible. |
