Starting a new run with existing multiplayer run

[[ZCM]CaptainZero]

I was playing with friends when we stopped for the night, i want to continue playing. If i create a new run doesnt mean i cannot continue with friends? do all friends need to have the dame save in order to continue or does only one save need to exist for a group to continue?

From what I know so far - (I'm still checking the forums) - there is only 1 save.

I believe this is what's happening right now: (anyone - feel free to correct me)
If you start up a single-player, you'll overwrite YOUR MP-character, but your friends will
be able to continue as if nothing happened - you can still join that game, but you will
have a blank character.

(I'm researching, because I've got a great game going with my friends and they had to
call it for the night, but I wanted to continue playing.

So, it looks like we're being held hostage by our multiplayer sessions. :)
I wish the game would separate at least between SP and MP saves.

there is a way to have several saves if you're fine with manually moving some folders around to swap between them

the save location is appdata\local\crabchampions\saved

copy the savegames folder and make a backup of it

then you can either load the game without a folder named savegames to generate a new one, or i assume you can make a second copy of your original one and continue from there

just make sure you name the folders so that you can tell which one is which, and then name the one you want to use "savegames" when you're swapping
