Idosra Version 1.1.8 Brings a Few Key Updates

Idosra: The Electric Renaissance · build 21267364 · published

On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Greetings! This update is a quick hot-fix that addresses a couple of problems that have surfaced recently. More important, we have also changed the location of save game files.

Your save game files will now be at the following locations:

  • Linux: (home)/.local/share/Stencyl/Idosra (or Idosra Demo)

  • Windows: (user)\\AppData\\Roaming\\Stencyl\\Idosra (or Idosra Demo)

This change affects the following files:

  • Save games: /pak/NUM.dat and /pak/NUM.bak

  • Global preferences: /def/config.dat

  • In-game preferences: /pak/prefs.dat

  • Feats (achievements): /pak/wins.dat

  • Keyboard config file: /def/config.dat

  • Gamepad config file: /def/pad.dat

The previous location was off of the application's installation directory.

What You Need to Do: In most cases, you shouldn't have to do anything. The game will first look for save files in the new location. If it doesn't find them, it will look in the original location.

Why was this change made: This change will help ensure your save game data is not lost if you uninstall the game. It is also a step needed to enable your option to use the Steam Cloud feature, which we would like to provide for you. More importantly, if in the future we need to change the game's directory structure, it will ensure your save game data is not lost.

What's Cooking for the Future?
