How to acess old profile/save?

[ヅ]

I just got back to ATS today and notice the game want me to make a new profile, even tho I have not uninstalled the game since last time I played it a while ago

How do I get back my odl profile? I can see I still got the old saves stored on my computer

ATS saves all game profiles in My Documents/American Truck Simulator/profiles

When ATS updates it always makes a copy of all profiles in My Documents/American Truck Simulator/profiles(<VERSION_NUMBER_HERE>).bak

Hey Dark, the game would have made a .bak folder when you started it. The .bak folders can be found in, Documents\American Truck Simulator\*.bak. Inside these .bak folders are your profile folders. They will be named like so, 547572746F6F6C.

If you have a few profiles, you can find the folder name by loading the profile, then exit & open your game.log.txt file (Documents\American Truck Simulator\game.log.txt). Look for this line to find it's name,

Creating save-game file (/home/profiles/547572746F6F6C/save/autosave/game.sii)

To get your old profile running, copy/paste it from the .bak folder to, Documents\American Truck Simulator\profiles folder.

If your backup has the same named folder as the current profile, then overright the current profile folder. You only want to overright these items, the profile folder, profile.sii file & the "save" folder with all files in the save folder.

If you had mods on your old profile, then you will need to find updated versions of them or deactive them in the mod manager.

There's no guarantee that your old profile will work with the current version of the game. After all, the current version removed it for a reason :)
