Overview
Unfortunately, the game doesn’t have build-in save. But there is a mod for this. And since the game doesn’t have workshop support either, here is a quick guide to install a mod manager and a mod to save game session.
Install r2modman
– Go to the r2modman Thunderstore page[thunderstore.io] and click the Manual download button
– In the download .zip file, Run the “r2modman Setup X.X.X.exe” (where X.X.X is the current version) to start the installer
Install ProperSave mod
– Launch r2modman
– In the game selection screen, select Risk of Rain 2 (use the “Select as Default” button to skip this game selection screen in the future).
– On the Profile selection screen, select the default one or create one.
– In the left menu bar, click the Online menu section.
– In the search bar, type “propersave”, expand the save result entry and click the Download button.
– Click the Download with dependencies button.
– You can now see that the Propersave mod and related dependencies are listed in the Installed menu section.
– Run the game with the Start modded menu
– Start playing and stopped whenever you want. Note that the save point is at the begining of a level, not in the middle of it.
– To load a previous save, start a new game. You will notice a new Load button in the lower right corner of the screen.
Et voilà.
Enjoy the game … and let the modding begin!
