Is there any way to chagne where the games saves my save files?

I'm asking this to make a multi-device cross save system, so I can save them on a cloud storage and share it between them

Hi @Germi29,

Yes, there's a setting for it: profile_dir (documented in docs/settings.md). The saves live in the profile folder, by default a profile folder next to totk.exe. Point it somewhere else in totk.ini:

profile_dir = D:/Sync/totk-profile

or with the TOTK_PROFILE_DIR environment variable. A relative path is taken relative to the folder of totk.exe (portable_path in runtime/main.c).

Sync the whole profile folder, not just the save files. The save folder is named after a local account id that's created once and stored in the profile (<profile>/account.uid, load_uid in runtime/ov_system.c), and the saves go to <profile>/save/<that id>/. If each device makes its own account.uid, they each look in a different folder and won't see each other's saves. So for the first move, copy your existing profile folder (with account.uid) to the synced location, then point every device at it.

Two things to watch with cloud sync:

• don't play on two devices at the same time. Saving goes through a working copy in save-tx/ that gets committed into save/, so two machines writing at once will fight.
• let the sync finish before starting the game on the other device. save-backup/ keeps the last three committed saves if something goes wrong.

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much! 🫶 It helped me a lot!
