Playing on Multiple Computers?

[megaman_the_pidgeot]

Hi before I start I wanna say if this has been asked many times or something then sorry. But I want to know if I download the game on my other computer, will I be able to restart but not lose anything on this computer? I don't want to do a true reset, but I also want to play the game again. Help?

Each computer will have its own Undertale save file folder. Switching between computers shouldn't affect the save file folder for the other computer (unless you complete a Genocide runthrough). If you were to start up the game on a different computer, it'd be like a fresh start.

If you want to be double-safe, you can always backup your save file folder. Just copy file0, file8, file9, and undertale.ini somewhere else on your computer. In this way, you can just re-insert these files back in if somehow your data gets changed or erased.

I've done multiple genocide runs on my Undertale (sounds so bad out of context), so I've already been through the ten minutes of black screen and wind noises. for some reason, though, when I downloaded tried to play Undertale on a different computer than my personal (but still from my steam account), it's giving me black screen and wind noises. I'm going to give it a few minutes and see if that's all it is, but if it's not, would anyone know why it might be doing this? I remotely logged out all other instances of steam including my personal computer

The game has a built-in feature that interacts with Steam Cloud specifically for saving the consequences of completing the genocide route. This activates if you are online on Steam at some point during the final cutscene where you kill Asgore and Flowey. It creates a copy of the file for the 10 minute black screen within your steam userdata, and once it is there the game will use it as a save cache reference putting you back into the 10 minute black screen if you manually erase your save data (or in your case try to start a new game on a new computer which it will see as the same thing). The only way to remove it is to edit and delete the file in userdata while offline, causing a cloud sync error.
