Please note that if you are going to opt into Experimental, there's one very important thing you need to do before you do this.
And that is to back up your damn save files.
Back up your damn save files.
Because of a couple of reasons.
First of all, it's because of Cloud Sync.
Cloud Sync is not to be 100% trusted.
Both on Steam and Epic, I've talked to many people that have just had Cloud Sync just completely either wipe their save directory or something else happening or some confusing message popping up like, hey, do you want to Cloud Sync?
And then people accidentally overwrite.
uh, their save directory.
In many cases where people reached out to me losing their save files, it's something related to Cloud Sync.
And it's not something we can do anything about.
All the save files that you have are placed locally on your hard drive, so there's no way for us to access them, so you can't reach out to us or anything like that if you lose your save file.
And it absolutely sucks for many reasons.
Like, I've been in that situation too, where I've lost my save file for other games, and it just, it's a horrible feeling.
So...
Please, please make sure to backup your save files.
Actually, kind of regardless in one way.
If you have a huge save file, you have like 300 hours of gameplay.
Please make sure to backup your save files.
Please, please, please, please.
For your own sake.
