Q: Where can I find my Dragon's Dogma 2 save files?
A: Your Dragon's Dogma 2 save files are typically located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\{your_user_id}\2054970\remote\win64_save
Q: Can I start a second new game and then switch back to my first game?
A: Yes, absolutely!
Q: Does Savedrake support managing multiple characters?
A: Yes, you can manage different characters by creating distinct backups and labeling them for each character. Savedrake doesn't have an explicit multi-character feature yet (Might be added if enough users ask for it).
Q: What naming convention does Savedrake use for backups?
A: By default, Savedrake names backups with unique, game-related titles like "Archer Drake.zip" or "Cyclops Arisen.zip". You can customize this to use simple timestamps instead through the settings menu.
Q: How do I customize the notification sounds in Savedrake?
A: To change the notification sounds, replace the `success.wav` and `error.wav` files with your chosen audio files, making sure to rename them to match the originals.
Q: What's the best way to organize my backups in Savedrake?
A: Within the app, right-click on any backup in the list to rename or delete it. You can also use the "Del" key to delete or "F2" to rename. The refresh button will update the app's current state.
Q: How do I get started with Savedrake?
A: Refer to the 'Getting Started' section for a step-by-step guide.
Q: Are there any current bugs in Savedrake I should know about?
A: There are no known bugs as of version 1.2.4. If you encounter any issues, please report them.
Q: Where can I send feedback or feature requests for Savedrake?
A: For feedback or feature requests, email [email protected] or post here on the Nexus forums. You can also see ongoing work at the Savedrake GitHub repository.
Q: Can you summarize the main features of Savedrake?
A: Savedrake offers a variety of features to enhance your gaming experience, including:
also, please post if you find any issues or if you want a feature to be added :)
Hello, I just installed the mod following the instructions and the software does not detect the backups :/ I deactivated steam cloud etc put the tree structure correctly.
I see the zips with Windows Explorer but the software does not see them (besides if they are empty :/)
EDIT: My save files are not on the same hard drive
I will now be able to try the mod :) Thanks
Lmk if this works. It should look like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\398729345777\2054970\remote\win64_save "
Had to do rechearch on the other Save-Data mods.
I set the autobackup to every hour, but it actually backups every minute. Also, it continues to autosave after the game is closed (but that's my fault for keeping the program open).
Aside from that, very handy and I feel confident in starting a new save now.
From reading the description and looking at screenshots, am I right that this tool creates just a single backup of each character? Rather than a larger archive of numerous timestamped backups?
I currently use a .bat file someone on Nexus provided in a comment section that backs up your save to a timestamped folder every X seconds and deletes any backup folders if over X number exist. I have it set to save every 5 minutes and to maintain an archive of a couple hundred prior saves. Realistically that latter number could be much smaller but being able to fall back to a save other than the most recent one has saved me great aggravation a number of times. Having those many, multiple backups is both great peace of mind and practical.
P.S. cute logo! lol
For example, I created a backup before completing my first set of riddles with the sphinx a week ago. I renamed it "Before Sphinx" from the app. Now although I've progressed wayyyy ahead. Every time I feel like riding the sphinx or showing it to my friends (to convince them to buy the game lol) I just restore at that backup. I have multiple backups. And anyone can be restored at any time.
Can you share the .bat file with me? I want to go through it, see what it does, and maybe implement some of the ideas here and update Savedrake
You can find the .bat file in the comment by steveyaze here! (Incidentally, it's under the first mod I saw get auto-quarantined here. Happens to most standalone "utility"-type mods lately.) After some use I reduced the save interval to 5 minutes and increased the "cleanup_days" to 800. Looking at my backup folder now, I indeed have 800 snapshot subfolders, with the earliest currently dated April 14. Most times you'd only need a few dozen recents but you could conceivably end up in situations where a busted mod poisons all subsequent saves and you don't realize until later, other acts of god, etc. Good to be able to go way back, then.
Thanks for sharing the .bat file. I think I should implement the auto-clean-up feature. I see how it helps. I will implement it as soon as I can.
EDIT: Please see the sticky comment
Kicked the tires a bit. A few takes.
- the new "Multiple time-stamped backups: " verbiage in description gets the functionality across well imo.
- nice sound fx!
- glad that it saves its settings in its own folder instead of leaving detritus in OS/user folders.
- if the Backup location doesn't exist, better to ask to create it instead of blanking field.
- i wondered why autobackup didn't seem to be working until i noticed the explainer at bottom saying game needed to be launched first. cool that it doesn't make a mess (tons of extra backups) while you're idling outside game (unlike the .bat file).
- autobackup says it starts 5 minutes after launch. i think it would be better if it did a backup immediately after launch (or as soon as user starts the autobackup feature) in case Savedrake's interval timing didn't happen to grab one exactly at the end of prior session. obviously this becomes more important as the autobackup interval increases. if a user set it to two hours and only played short sessions Savedrake may never create an auto-backup.
- very minor but i actually had to stare at the UI a bit before i figured out "Backup" in the lower-right was the important button i wanted / needed to click to make the app do its thing. maybe an exclamation point (ie "Backup!") or other callout method might've prodded my neurons a bit more effectively.
- also very minor but for some reason it feels more logical to me for the Browse and Open button locations to be swapped.
- don't love the filenames. the .bat file's datestamped filenames automatically sort chronologically by default in most users' File Explorers, which is much preferable to a cluttered directory of alphabetical yet chronologically random cute filenames. perhaps could let user specify the filename format (many Windows apps do this) so timestamped folder orderliness becomes possible. user could still append the "cute" names to end or whatever if they wished. that could actually help make the list of folders more human-parseable while still being logically ordered.
- that said it's good that Savedrake's UI file list's sort defaults to reverse chronological. the prior bullet is more of a problem for File Explorer users.
- might be worth adding explicit multiple character support. perhaps you define a named "character" in the program and they have custom backup (definitely) and savegame (maybe) locations associated with them. then you can easily swap between characters and their files stay isolated from each other. the filename list will only show the backup files of the currently selected character.
- since the window is not resizable horizontally, as soon as a long enough filename is generated the horizontal scrollbar will remain forever. better to not restrict user resizing window to their preference imo.
that's all that came to mind after a few minutes checking it out! i didn't test the hotkey stuff.
Thanks a lot for testing it and I really really appreciate the feedback! I have taken note of everything and will try to implement these features gradually in future updates. Some tweaks like the backup location field one and filename format one are easy to implement while adding multiple character support can be a bit more complex. As for the UI, I will overhaul it as well.
