About Steam Cloud Save
Steam Cloud Save is a feature that allows you to save your game progress on Steam servers and share it across multiple devices. You will be able to share save data between multiple PCs and Steam Decks.
The folders uploaded to the server are as follows.
The total number of files in the folder must be 10 or less.
Please be careful if you plan to keep 11 or more save data files.
When using the Steam cloud save feature, a file named “steam_autocloud.vdf” will be generated in the save data folder. This file is automatically generated by Steam and is safe to keep. There is no need to delete it.
About the save data selection feature
You can now select three play data files from the save data folder. The save data folder is located as follows.
You can select punihiloader2_savedata.json as data 1 punihiloader2_savedata1.json as data 2 punihiloader2_savedata2.json as data 3 in the game. If you have four or more save data files, please rename the files as appropriate.
Entering play time into existing save data
Played time is now recorded in save data. However, in order to reflect the previous play time in the save data selection menu, you will need to enter the play time into the save data yourself. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please follow the steps below to reflect the play time.
Update the game to version 0.7420a, launch the game, and save your data.
Exit the game and open the save data folder. The save data location is as follows.
Open punihiloader2_savedata.json. You can open .json files with Notepad or similar programs.
Enter the play time in seconds at the end of the string where it says _IGT”:X.XXXXXXXXXX.
[Input example] If you have played for 10 hours
Convert 10 hours to seconds: 10 × 3600 = 36000
Enter _IGT”:36000
