Hello PH. I recently found out about SaveSwitcher 2 thanks to the version you made for Cyberpunk 2077. That made me decide to download your version for the Witcher 3. I... have a slight request. Could you make a 2.0.12.5 version of SaveSwitcher 2 for Witcher 3? I only ask because I really appreciated having my saves stored in Documents for backup purposes when using the Cyberpunk 2077 version.
Hi, this is actually more tricky than it should be as it works as a windows app and does not really have a normal installation directory. But good thing you asked. That way I finally took the time to look into that and found: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\RK0V118Y.3LB\GPDMXTOE.D2T\witc..tion_5ed8786b9a799d3b_0001.0000_4c5b65ac3a42b37c\Savegames Seriously just navigate to ...AppData\Local\Apps and search for "Savegames", should find it right away.
I just realized that there is a complete installation folder there and it even keeps the backups from older versions. I'll probably try to integrate that information into the app..
Im afraid I dont understand how to use this app. When I create a new profile, in theory when I load the game it should only have the option of a new game since it shouldnt see the other profiles saves, yet that is not what happens.
Each profile I create has all the saves of all the other profiles.
So whats the point of this program? I dont understand and since the program doesnt seem to make seperate fodlers for each profile I dont see how it can do what it claims it does.
Hi, when creating the profile, the program uses the savegame that is currently active ingame. So if you want to create an empty profile you can delete the save files before creating a profile (Or delete already existing saves ingame after creating the profile). The program creates a backup folder for every profile and updates the savegame to the active profile's folder everytime the game closes.
I have created a short video illustrating how the app works in the background to maybe make it a little more obvious. The video is already captured with the upcoming version of the app that will have steam support but that should not affect your question.
Hope this helps a little. I do not want anyone to have to fear for his savegames here. I mean obviously that's kind of the opposite of what I'm trying to do.
I'm really happy that you're satified :-) I've just added a new version with a few new features. But be careful as installing the new version will remove your stored backups.
In version 1 of the program you could sadly delete your saves when loading an empty save slot without backup. The new SaveSwitcher 2 should prevent this from happening as it automates this process.
