Currently Supported Games

AutoProfileSwapper.bat now creates an .ini file automatically for you. See the help options for /a.

Adding New Games

AutoProfileSwapper uses an .ini file for storing information and swapping profiles. It is set in the following format:

::Game1 Profile
[Game1]
SaveDir="C:\Directory\to\Game1\"
SaveFldr=SaveFolderName

• 1st line is optional, it is just a comment to help keep track of games and make searching easier.
• 2nd line is the name of the Commandline Parameter you want, for example Far Cry 5's can be FarCry5. No spaces allowed here. Must be inside Square Brackets.
• 3rd line is the folder above your savegame folder.
  • If your savegame is "C:/game/savefolder/save.txt" it should say:
  • SaveDir="C:\Game"
• 4rd line is the savegame folder's name.
  • If your savegame file is "C:/game/savefolder/save.txt" it should say:
  • SaveFldr=savefolder)

You can also use /a to create a new profile. The following line will auto-generate the Game1 Profile from above: AutoProfileSwapper.bat /a Game1 C:\Directory\to\Game1\ SaveFolderName
