Cave Waverider Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If you are talking about CAWs and other stuff created with the in-game creation suite, they are part of the save game data. If you have steam cloud enabled, a copy will be stored there, starting the game on another computer should update your save game. You can also manually backup your save game by copying your entire <...>\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamId>\664430 folder to wherever you wish to store your backup. This will also backup anything else that's part of the savegame, of course, like universe, career, stats, unlocks, etc.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tahisha Fairplay Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) ok, so after that, she does what? saves the copied folder back over the corrupted 1 and proceeds like nothing happened? is it that easy?

Cave Waverider Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 This guide is for 2k16, the principle still remains the same, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
