[HELP] - Transfer saved multiplayer data

[Future]

My girlfriend and I has been playing for a few weeks on her steam account on split screen. Now I want to purchase the game and continue with the multiplayer, but i dont want that my data (stored in her local game) gets lost once I start in my PC.

Does anyone knows if the second player data on her PC will get lost or any way to transfer it to my PC.

Thanks :)

That's a good question, and I'm not sure of the answer. However, if this is possible, it's not going to require any "transfer" of game data, because all multiplayer games are hosted by the person that creates the farm. An online multiplayer game functions the same way as a split-screen game, with the save file for all players being saved on the main player's device. The issue is simply whether you can continue to play your existing character on the save, just from a new PC.

Hopefully someone here is aware of the answer!

Hi, I've run into the same problem. Have you found a solution yet?

You can just go fetch your save files in %appdata, copy them somewhere, then paste them back when you've launched the game in case it recreates the folder and steam does nothing.

This'll save your files potentially being deleted, but will mean that the other person's files will now be on your account and I'm not sure how steam will handle swapping back and forth between accounts. This shouldn't be too big a deal though if you were just playing solely split screen (though may be if that other person was playing on their own a fair bit, in which case your account will just be played on by them, also not too bad?)
