Offline/Online save locations and save swapping

[Larry]

Since this seems to be a pretty common problem for people, and I just ran into myself for playing without internet today, I thought I'd make a thread for it.

If you are trying to move your Online saves to your Offline location, follow the quoted instructions.
If you are trying to move your Offline saves to your Online location, you must do the opposite. However, it seems only the auto save will actually load. Load that and quickly make a fresh manual save and you should be good to go.

Same, though it turns out the Offline mode and Online modes have different save locations. You can copy your save over, and they'll show up in Continue, but when you try to load it says that there's no data.

Alright, I figured it out. You didn't quite give the save location but I found it anyways.

Here's where your save data normally is,

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOUR STEAM ID HERE\851850\remote\

You copy all the save data from there into

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\AT\Saved\SaveGames

and add .sav onto the end of the files. You'll be good to go after that.

So I haven't touched this since making the post, but iirc you should be able to move the auto save file from your Offline saves into the Online location and load that file. I don't know why, but I could only get the auto save to load, but you can create a manual save in game once it's up.

I know that's mostly repeating what I originally said but make sure you're trying to load the auto save and that you're putting it in the correct location. I don't have this game installed anymore so I don't have the necessary files to verify this again.

I just had to resolve this issue for a friend and it turned out that when copying offline files to online remove the .sav part of the file name, delete all of the existing files in the online save location and just have the autosave file sat there from your offline play, and it works a treat.
you will know its worked when you start the game and steam tells you your local saves are not the same as your cloud saves, tick the "replace cloud saves with the ones on from this machine" and it shall all work fine.

Dang it was a long time ago, I think I simply restarted the game when online and the game loaded my "online game". For some reason online and offline aren't the same save locations. So just play exclusively online or offline but can't do both.. Maybe now you can?
