Is there a (manual) save\load option?

[Ri'Zakar]

I'm looking for save files, so I can manually copy them somewhere throughout the game, and then "load" them to try different options (unfortunately I don't have the time to play the game 100500 times from the very beginning)

I can see some save files in

\Pyre\Content\Saves
\Documents\Saved Games\Pyre

but even deleting those affects nothing in the game itself

i also want to know, as ive had it crash twice now and both times has said that my save was corrupted and it deletes them

There are also 2 Profile#.sav files in "D:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\####\462770".

I tried to replace, move and copy those. No success so far. Might depend on Steam Cloud being on/off.

Edit. The files under \userdata\ are used, if Steam Cloud is enabled.

Copy the file "save" you want from steamapps\common\Pyre\Content\Saves and paste it into D:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\####\462770 then rename the file to Profile#.sav

Also you might want to delete some of the files in \Content\Saves since they can get quite plenty... They are most likely some leftover debug they forgot to disable.

I tried using both locations with and without Steam cloud enabled and I was still unable to load a manual sync. Am I missing something?

Edit. Files (Profile#.sav) in "\userdata\" and "Documents\Saved Games\" must be the same in order to load a specific save file (playing with Steam Cloud enabled).
Backups are in "Pyre\Content\Saves" should they be needed.

Why the ♥♥♥♥ are devs ignoring this topic?

Please try locating your save file which should be here:
\Program Files\Steam\userdata\[USERID]\462770​\remote\
here:
\Program Files\Steam\userdata\[USERID]\462770​\local\
or here:
\Documents and Settings\User\Saved Games\Pyre\
depending on whether you are running the game outside of Steam or if you are using cloud saves.

The file is named Profile1.sav assuming you have not changed your profile.

If one of those locations has a save with a recent timestamp, try copying it to the other locations and seeing if that gets you your progress back.

For a breakdown. the \remote folder is used if you run the game via Steam with Steam Cloud enabled. \local is used if you run the game via steam with Steam Cloud disabled. \Documents and Settings is used if you run the game without Steam running.

I hope that helps.

If it doesn't there may be a permissions error going on, and I'd recommend that you run the game as Administrator to try to work around that.

@reverendloc. Thanks for the info.
By the way, Microsoft OSs from WinVista and later don't use "Documents and Settings" folder/path.

Another question - will it be possible to access backups in folder "Pyre\Content\Saves" in-game (i.e. without moving the files manually)? So, the save system structure would be like in, for example, Tyranny (playthrough and save files related to this particular PT with custom file names and current active party members).

[reverendloc]

Currently the only way to access those files is to copy them to one of the locations I listed, and then overwrite your save by renaming them Profile*.sav

Hopefully that's still useful in some way!

[Hawke]

Apologies, I must have worded the question poorly. Rephrasing - in the upcoming patches, will the save system be changed to several manual save states per playthrough?

Considering Pyre's replayability, more information (and more save slots) would be really good to have.

I had a problem with a save file. I deleted it from Documents\Saved Games\Pyre and also the backup from Pyre\Content\Saves.
After that, I copied from the backups a previous save which should do fine to Documents\Saved Games\Pyre, changing its name to Profile1.sav. However, when I choose "Load checkpoint" in the game, it loads the save file I have deleted. Where is it loading it from?? I'm running the game outside Steam.
I have even uninstalled the game, and after reinstalling it is still loading the same save file that shouldn't exist anymore.
Any help will be appreciated, I was about to play the last Liberation Rite :-(

Try looking here:

\Program Files\Steam\userdata\[USERID]\462770​\remote\
here:
\Program Files\Steam\userdata\[USERID]\462770​\local\
