Roadmap Update - Barton Lynch Pro Surfing
We initially wanted to be at release around 3 months after Early Access. Since then our team has taken on your feedback as we continue to work hard to fix bugs and bed down the games infrastructure. There are a lot of moving parts in the game that take time to resolve, so we need to stay in Early Access a little longer as it's important to continue to refine and tighten. Be sure to keep an eye out for more build updates in the coming weeks.
Genuine thanks for all the support!

Early Access Release v.016
With yesterday's release of v.015, we unintentionally changed the location of the save files. This will cause the game to believe that there are no save files if you've played before the update. With this small patch, we aim to correct the issue.
If you want to recover your save from before v.015, all you need to do is download the new update and the saves will reappear when you boot up Barton Lynch Pro Surfing 2022.
If you've played the game since the update and would prefer to keep the new save, you can simply copy and paste the PlayerInfo.sav file over to the original save folder.
Save file path before v.015 (the folder with your original save):
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Bungarra Software/Barton Lynch Surfing 2022/PlayerSave/
Save file path from v.015 (the folder with the new save):
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Bungarra Software Pty Ltd/Barton Lynch Surfing 2022/PlayerSave/
If you haven't accessed the AppData folder on your computer before, here's a guide:
