Cloud question for Mr. Vice

Hey do you plan on making EM Steam Cloud capable? I would love to access my savegames wherever.

I know how to do it manually, I was just wondering if it was in the plans is all.

No current plans for it, although it may be something down the road for the Steam side of things (haven't looked into it yet). But for now, backing up to a thumb drive or other external disk is recommended.

Cool thats what I figured. Had no idea what the Cloud even was till a couple days ago. I just figgered the save files are so small they would be no sweat to put on it.

You could use drop box to "cloud" your files

- If you want to change the location for where the game stores pilot profiles and other game files, simply create a text file in the game's installation directory (usually C:\\sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary) named savedir.txt and in the first line, enter the drive letter and folder name where you want the game data files to be kept. Example: C:\\Users\\Username\\EvochronMercenary The game will automatically add the \\sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary text to the line you enter, so you don't need to include it. Make sure to copy/move the original files to the new location to keep your settings and pilot profiles.
