Can I transfer my data?

[TheJedi]

Hey guys, I wasn't sure where to put this, sorry if it's in the wrong section.

In planning on building a PC very soon. I already have some of the parts, waiting on RTX 3060 / 3060 ti.

 

I have been gaming on Geforce now which I have subscribed to.

 

I have been playing Rocket League and SnowRunner. Both from the epic store.

 

I'm anxious that I will have to start again on SnowRunner when I have my build.

 

Will this be the case?

Usually in clients such as Steam there is the ability to have cloud saves, I'm sure epic would have something similar. 

 

In many cases, games will store your game data in C:\Users\<Username>\Games, It also may be in documents, so a path such as C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Games. 

 

If you have an external hard drive, I would recommended copying your entire user folder, that's C:\Users\<Username>.  The reason is that a lot of applications store configuration files and such in AppData.  So you're better off copying it all and putting your user folder on your new PC so that way you can pick and choose the data you want to transfer. 

 

You should be good.

Most games bought through stores like Steam or Epic Games use cloud saves. That being said, if you want to manually backup your saves, it does appear that SnowRunner saves your progress locally as per the following article.

Ah GeForce now doesn't actually allow for use of file system browsing so I would have to rely on this cloud saving.

 

Thanks
