Hi subROVers! Jose writing -0.7.60 is up and running 😀
About
This is a minor update that preemptively addresses a security vulnerability in the Unity engine (there's no evidence of it being exploited).
Upcoming: Cloud Saves
I'm ready to activate Cloud Saves for the game.
The Cloud save system is handled by Steam and I don't need to roll a new update, but before I activate it I'd like to ask you to
==>Back up your save data<==
This is very easy to do and will give us both peace of mind 😂
On Windows, the data lives in %USERPROFILE%\[/b]AppData\\LocalLow\\sqr3Lab\\subROV
Copy the path above in your browser and it'll take you straight to the files.
You want to copy the Maps and Profile folders somewhere safe.
On the Steam Deck, you have to dig a bit deeper:
Switch to Desktop (press the power button and choose "Switch to Desktop" in the menu that appears).
The path to the files is Home\\.local\\share\\Steam\[/b]steamapps\[/b]compatdata\[/b]1648760\[/b]pfx\[/b]drive_c\[/b]users\[/b]steamuser\[/b]AppData\\LocalLow\\sqr3Lab\\subROV
Again, the folders you want to copy are Maps and Profile.
Having a backup is always a good idea if you've invested lots of time in the game. In this particular case I advise strongly to do so if
You play the game in two or more devices and
You want to keep them in sync (otherwise you should disable Cloud saves for the game) and
You favor one save over the other(s).
In this case, play the game first in the device with the save you want to keep, and trigger a save (e.g. enter and exit a dive, then exit the game). Steam should save that information in the cloud, then apply it to the other devices.
So, this said,
==>Back up your save before Sunday<==
I'll activate Cloud Saves next Sunday around 3 PM CET. Maybe a bit later, but not earlier.
What's Next?
Once I activate Cloud saves I'll send a News post to announce it, and I'll give an update on how things are going with the game's development (I was going to do it now but I want to keep this post short and to the point).
