i dont like this change, it is now creating a whole new mygames folder and putting the save games & config files in it

Users/MyGames/Caplab Beta

instead of
documents/mygames/caplab beta

where they should be.

The above post suggests it should only affect people who use one drive but it appears to be a change for everyone

Update: The fix to the path folder will be available in the Release Candidate version 11.0.45.

I was able to transfer my saves eventually but lost my configuration files, so my settings and saved layouts must be redone. bummer. Is there a way to transfer those? or maybe it's too much of a hassle?

You can find your old config file in the folder above the old save game folder.

For example, your save game file path is [b]<path>\My Games\Capitalism Lab Post-Release Beta\SAVE[/b], you can find CONFIG.DAT at [b]<path>\My Games\Capitalism Lab Post-Release Beta\CONFIG.DAT[/b].

Please copy this CONFIG.DAT file to your current path, which is also one folder above the current save game path.

I've forwarded it to the dev team and it will be fixed in the next version.

I do not use OneDrive due to past issues, and have no interest in ever using it again. With this update, my saved games are now inaccessible.

Please try this solution:

1) Locate your old save games by searching for "*.SAV" in your drive C using File Explorer. The search will take a while.

If File Explorer is too slow, you could open a Command Prompt window and type the following:
dir C:\*.sav /s /b

To open Command Prompt in Windows:
-Click the Start button
-Type "cmd" or "command prompt"


2) Copy them to the CapLab save game folder. You can open the save game folder by clicking on the [Open Folder] icon located at the bottom-right corner of the menu, as shown in the above post.

Version 11.0.42 of Capitalism Lab resolves an issue reported in this post: https://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=44580#p44580. This update changes the save game folder to align with the location used by other apps under OneDrive.

As a result of this change, users using OneDrive may notice that their save game folder no longer displays any save games after upgrading to version 11.0.42 or later.
