How to backup your saved games.
Now you can live forever!
First of all, I’d like to say that this IS cheating.
Well, if you prefer to loose half of fun, continue reading, cheater:
Do not forget to close the game while you juggle with files!
Steam Cloud may try to override the restored files so tell it that you want to use the files you have on your PC
To make a backup
- Go to
Windows: C:Program Files (x86)Steamuserdata{unique ID}{219740}remote
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/{unique ID}/219740/remote/
Linux: ~/.steam/steam/userdata/{unique ID}/219740/
SteamOS: /home/steam/.local/share/Steam/userdata/{unique ID}/219740/
The game saves files there - Copy all files to a safe place where you won’t loose them.
To restore the game
- Go to the folder where the game saves files.
- Backup all the files just in case.
- Override files in the folder with the old (the ones we’ve backed up before) files to the folder.
- Go to folder 219740 and delete remotecash.vdf (As I see it is optional for Survival Mode but necessary for restoring Adventure Mode saves)
Leave a comment if you know more
I’ve successfully restored my Adventure Mode game using this instruction.
I have no idea how to do it exactly on non-Windows OS.
If you had any problems, leave a comment. We’ll try to solve them!
