Coop Save Overwrite Issue

[7empest]

Hey. so I play this game with my best friend. Now my other friend owns the game and I would like to play with him as well. I remember there was a bit of a save bug where if you went to join another friend it saves over your progress with the other person, essentially losing your gameplay save. Has this since been fixed? Should I backup my save just in case?

Hi!

I will gladly explain how saving in Co-Op works. There is no auto overwrite issue when joining another player's game session. When you join a game as a Client all the progress is saved on the Host's side. After the session ends you can manually download the Host's save when on the save slot menu. You can then download that save the empty slot (recommended) or overwrite an already existing slot (not recommended).

So to reiterate, joining another player's game session does not automatically overwrite your existing saves. But to avoid any unnecessary behaviors please, do backup your save files just in case.

Have a great day!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. This is helpful. I just wanted to say I love CoM and was delighted to see your dlc proceeds going towards a good cause. Looking forward to your next title and dlc :)

Where are the save files located?

Joining my friend "host" absolutely overwrites your save file. I just lost like 30 hours of progress.
