Installation

Requirements

Requirement Details
Operating system Windows 10 or later
PowerShell 5.1 or later (ships with Windows 10+)
Privileges Administrator — the script checks on launch and warns if not elevated; file operations will silently fail without it
Game Schedule 1 (Steam), with at least one existing save file

Tested on: Windows 10 OS Build 19045.5796, PowerShell 5.1.

Download

Go to the Releases page and download saveSupport.ps1. There is no installer — the script is standalone.

As always when running a script you downloaded: review the source before running it. The full source is in the repository.

Running the Script

Option A — Right-click (easiest)

  1. Right-click saveSupport.ps1.
  2. Select Run with PowerShell.

Note: "Run with PowerShell" does not bypass the execution policy, and does not automatically elevate to administrator. If the script fails to run or file operations silently do nothing, use Option B instead and see Troubleshooting for the execution-policy fix.

If the right-click option is missing entirely, your system's execution policy is blocking it. See Troubleshooting.

Option B — Elevated PowerShell window

  1. Click Start, type PowerShell, right-click Windows PowerShell, and select Run as administrator.
  2. Navigate to the folder containing the script:
    cd C:\Users\YourName\Downloads
    
  3. Run the script:
    .\saveSupport.ps1
    

First Run

On first run, S1SS creates its working directory and vault folder:

  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\S1SS\ — S1SS home
  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\S1SS\Vault\ — vault storage for backed-up saves

These are created automatically if they do not exist. No game files are touched during initialization.
