Share/Transfer Save Files to another (family) account
Hi. I've been playing this game on my son's account for many hours; it was originally downloaded to his steam account. We use separate game saves in the game. We're using Family Library Sharing now, so this game appears on my account (but with no save files); it starts it as a new game for me. We are using the same PC.
Is there a way to copy across the save files from my son's account to my account, so that I can pick up my save file when logged into my own Steam account.
There might be other threads talking about this topic in general, but I have the question for this game specifically so posted here if anyone has help to give
Thanks

Open the numbered folder, copy the game folders, Go back up if under same windows account and open the other set of numbered folder which is the copy playing on sharing and paste in the save games folders.

It may not be this exact. I am NOT 100% familiar with sharing folders, but the saved games will be in there somehow on that path and you only need to copy and paste them to the other account

Thank you!!!! That's exactly where they were. The save files were named on Windows the same as they are in the game, so it was easy to find the right save file and copy it across to mine.
Really appreciate the help, many late night hours saved from starting fresh :steamthumbsup:
