Multiple Saves of One Game

Post by samscott89 »

Hi,

I've tried searching but couldn't find the answer.

How does GSM go about saving multiple saves within a game?

It seems to work perfectly; identifying all games, taking scheduled backups, syncing with my cloud etc. But I can't tell if it takes all saves from within one game.

Example: In M&B Bannerlord I have 2 saves. Save 1 is directly after the lengthy intro and tutorial mission and I can boot this up if I want to start again without having to sit through it all. Save 2 is my actual ongoing campaign saved regularly.

Does GSM back both of these up?

Thanks for any input.

If your game supports multiple save slots or save files, GameSave Manager attempts to detect--and backup--them all.
For example, your Skyrims and Witchers have manual saves. This causes many players to have hundreds of save files, which GameSave Manager will detect and backup.

However, if you're manually swapping out your saves (in cases where the game doesn't have multiple save slots or save file support), then GameSave Mangaer will only detect what is currently "swapped in".

That's perfect - exactly the answer I was looking for.

Thank you.
