I have removed the saved game function that was using the windows registry. The game now saves into a local folder called SAVE_DATA in the astrox_Data folder. (Right next to the MOD_DATA folder). When you load your saved game, it will pull the data from the registry and place it in a save.txt file. Once your game is saved, you can clear the old save and the game will use the txt file from there on out. make sure you see your saved game before clearing your old one. If it looks like your game isn't saving, clear the slot and the txt save will replace it. i will be hanging out on the forum if you need help.
This will also allow players to modify saved game data, I will be opening up the workshop soon with tons of info about what all those numbers mean in your saves, as well as the MOD_DATA files.
(HELP!!! i lost my saved game!!!)
If you open astrox and do not see your saved games...
Step 1, close astrox... do not create a new game, do not click clear all... just close the game
Step 2, open your ASTROX folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Astrox\astrox_Data
then open SAVE_DATA folder. You will see some files called old_slot_1.txt , 2 and 3... along with the new save txt files.
Step 3, Rename the old_slot_1.txt to slot_1.txt and do this for any old saves you have.
Step 4, restart the game... and enjoy.
