Overwrite them with new saves XD

Or, go to (Only Windows Vista/7/8?) C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Game Dev Tycoon\Cache and data_0 is autosave, data_1 is save 1 etc.

BUT THIS IS WHAT I THINK, SO DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Not the saves I mean like delete old save files I got like 4 accidental

You can’t from within the game.
You have to delete them manually.
They’re placed in the path that Xantium described.

I mean game files and btw I have the steam version

#6

Make sure that Steam Cloud is turned off for GDT.
Otherwise you’ll just keep downloading your latest saves.

#7

Do I keep it of permanently and will this make this game unregistered on my next computer

All Steam Cloud does, is backup your saves and present you with the option to sync your savegames, if the Cloud versions are newer.

However, if no saves are found Steam Cloud will always sync and download your saves stored in the Cloud.

It does not affect your game registration in any way.

Heya,

In summary;
Delete the Saves in the App Data folder + The saves in the Steam User Data folder + The General file in the Steam User Data folder

Some extra info that may help;

How to Disable Steam Cloud

You will need to disable Steam Cloud to stop your saves re downloading;

  1. In your Steam Library, right-click on Game Dev Tycoon and select “Properties.”
  2. Click the “Updates” tab.
  3. Uncheck “Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for Game Dev Tycoon.”
  4. Click “Close.”

Save Game Locations for both Steam Supported OS

On Windows 8 and Under:

C:/Users/YOURUSER/Appdata/Local/Game Dev Tycoon - Steam/Local Storage/
where YOURUSER is your Windows user name.

To View the App Data folder please allow viewing of Hidden Files and Folder;
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/show-hidden-files

On Mac:

~/Library/Application Support/{app}/Local Storage

WARNING - Do not do the following unless you want to remove your savegames

For The Steam edition if you navigate to;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\Your ID\239820\remote
(Your path may be slightly different if you did not install in the default location)

And delete the “General” file then your save box will be clear in game too!
As soon as you save again the appdata files are overwritten.

To delete with the saved document, it is very important to take a proper backup with CRM Software Development before deletion, as once you have delete the document, it is unable to get back with the documents, Only the backup can make the process possible.
