Greetings,
The Praesidium campaign is nearing completion and will be entering the testing phase soon. With the release of the new campaign around the corner, I need to announce an unfortunate side-effect of the coming update.
I have overhauled the game saving system and corrected some sloppy references behind the scenes within the project. While the overall impact will be good, it will have a negative effect as well.
The good side...
In the future, your saved games will be stored in APPDATA under an Endeavor folder, which will bring it in line with similar save systems used in other games. This will have a few very positive effects...
The save file can now easily be backed up or transferred between hard drives or PCs.
The saving process is now more efficient and will complete more quickly within the game. The save script has also been enhanced to allow for additional mission objective types to be saved correctly.
The save file is now more easily accessed and edited if you desire to.
The bad side...
Saved settings will be reset to defaults.
Previously saved games will no longer be accessible to load in-game. I tried to convert the old file type into the new format with a script, but unfortunately due to other unrelated but necessary reference updates, this will not be possible.
So... finish those games before the next big content patch! I will give plenty of notice before the next patch is released.
Here is a peak at some mission maps from the new campaign. The average map size has increased over 40%.
