I will try to not make this too complicated.forgive my ignorance all I haven’t played any games that got an update yet. How do I get my saves over to the new version when it comes out? Or do I just have to play again? Wanna be prepared so I can play asap
For ALL RenPy games, there are saves in two places. The main place is in the "game" folder in a folder called "saves".
There is also another backup for these saves. This is a sync for the game.
For Windows this is:
C:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\<game file name>
You can probably search on the file which is called "DesertStalkerEA-100001" (at least for my version)
This will contain the sync save files for Desert Stalker.
Even if you wipe out your entire game and then reload it, or load a new version, RenPy will find the sync saves and bring them back to the game. You will find them again when you start up the game.
The ONLY time this does not work is if you have erased the sync or the RenPy version has changed. This will break the saves.
If you wipe your entire system, you must backup the "saves" folder in "game" to an external drive or they will be lost.
You can then copy those saves back into the game folder and they will be found by any version of the game you have loaded.
