Steam & Google Play

[hot_male717]

I downloaded the game and started playing through Google Play on my tablet. Is there a way I can sync that vault so I can play on Steam and on my tablet?

Can you find a file called "Vault1.sav"?
And "Vault1.sav.bkp"?
(If you have more than one Vault, then also "Vault2.sav", "Vault2.sav", etc.)

Copy them into your Fallout Shelter folder re. Steam.
C:/Users/<your username>/AppData/Local/Fallout Shelter/


If you are unsure re. doing it, have a look at:

So if I reading this right, if I want to have the same vault on both I have to transfer it back and forth between Steam and my tablet?

I had assumed the guides were for just doing it once.

I'm thinking that it would be easier just to play it on one platform.

However, I suppose that it would be possible to transfer it back and forth if you really wanted to.
It would be a lot of fiddling about, but I guess it would be one way of spending more time on the game.

Probably best to run some tests on doing it first, and keep several back-ups, in case one fails.

I would rather play through Steam, but if I travel I would like to bring the tablet and continue to play wtihout the PC.

Makes sense.
If you're going to be away from home for a few days (or weeks, etc.) then it would be a handy way to keep on playing.

But it definitely would be worth a trial run, just to make sure it works, moving the files back and forth.

Good luck!

Thank you for your help. So far it seems to be doing what I expected to do.
