Save my progress

[AlguienAqui]

Well I know this game die a long time ago but I recently bought it (instead of the remastered) and I wanted to know if there's a way to save my progress (I already know that the game doesn't have the cloud)

Manually? No. The game saves automatically.

No, I mean, upload my progress to another PC for example, any way?

That should be possible, yes. Need to look where the savegame is stored and then copy it to the new PC. Should be about it, I'd say.

Thanks, that was all I needed to hear

The save is located in "C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise". Just copy this folder to the same location on the other PC to move your progress. If you want to share the same save between multiple computers you could also move this folder to a cloud service like OneDrive and create a symbolic link where the save is supposed to be on all PCs you want to share the same save file. This is what I've done.

1. Move the folder to your desired cloud folder. Example: "C:\Users\<your user>\OneDrive\Save Files\"
   
2. Open CMD as admin
   
3. Run

   mklink /D "<path to where the save should be>" "<path to where the save is>"

   Example:

   mklink /D "C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise" "C:\Users\<your user>\OneDrive\Save Files\Burnout Paradise"

   (This creates a shortcut that unlike regular shortcuts have it's own path so the game will be able to keep reading from the path where the files should be when they are actually located somewhere else, in this case in your cloud service folder.)
   
4. Log into your cloud and repeat steps 2 and 3 for any PCs you want to share the same save.

I don't know what would happen if you were to play on multiple PCs sharing the save simultaneously but as long as you only play on one at a time this has worked for me for years.

Damn that's a really good idea and thanks for the explication

Going to use this in the future. I regret not doing this when my last PC went kaputt.
