Save file?

[tthorup1]

So im trying to play with my friends save, but when i put it into steam_profiles and launch game it doesnt show in the game selection menu. Ive also tried copying the files and overriding in the profile

[James]

Hai,

 

Have you tried putting the folder into Documents>Euro Truck Simulator 2>Profiles

 

That's the main place for the profiles.

Kind Regards,

[tthorup1]

Yep. And normally i dont have any files in profiles?

[James]

Hello

 

Try creating a new profile and get into a truck and then save and quit the game.

 

Then you should be able to locate your profile in either Documents>Euro Truck Simulator 2>Profiles

Or

Documents>Euro Truck Simulator 2>steam_profiles

 

Kind Regards

Hello tthorup,

 

If you have no files in the normal "profiles" folder, this just means that all your personal profiles are steam stored. Which is why they are all stored in steam_profiles.

 

Your friends save profile should be put in the folder that's just called "profiles" in the folder mentioned above. It can still happen,

that it will work but you get a "Game change detected" error message in the main menu, this mean that there are DLC's

that compromise the, in the profile stored, saves

[for example, your friend has the map extension "Scandinavia" but you don't, if the profile was last played with the DLC, it will give you this message]

You will then most likely be able to play normally with the profile, but not with any of the created saves.

 

If you need any more help, let me know.

 

Kind regards,

We both have the same DLCs and the save doesnt even show in the profiles tab ingame. And yes also when I put the save in "profiles"

[James]

Hey

Could you attach a screenshot of both folders when you are trying to add your friends save game to your game?

 

Also are you putting the folder with numbers in the profile folder? Or a .rar file?

 

Kind Regards

Hello again,

 

make sure that the profile your friend gave you came from the "profiles" folder, not the "steam_profiles" folder

as this would not work and show up as you say. If you friend accidentally gave it to you from the steam_profiles folder

I can provide you with a quick step by step solution on how to give you the proper profile.

 

Let me know.

Kind regards,

James its the numbers and letters.

 

Sanamaria that might be why. Can I get the step by step?

[sanamaria]

Hello again,

 

sure you can.

Your friend has to go to the main profiles page, where all his profiles are liste.

Then he has to select the profile they want to give you and click on "edit".

Once the editing screen is opened, in the middle of the screen just above the "Online account" section

and below the "Company name", there is a tick box with the description "Use Steam Cloud".

This box must not be ticked.

Your friend then simply clicks on "Apply" and can normally exit the game.

They now should find said profile in the normal "profiles" folder in the Documents>Euro Trucks Simulator 2 section.

This is also where you then put the profile in, once you receive it.

 

Let me know if it worked out!

 

Kind regards,
