Save Settings

The save settings asset is the central configuration hub for the FlaxSave system. It defines how and when your game data is stored.

Configuration Properties

Section	Property	Description
Meta	Savegame Version	The version of your data scheme. Increment this, when you make breaking changes to your save data structure to handle migration.
	Savegame File Extension	The file extension used for all save files.
Auto Save	Auto Save	Enables or disables the built-in auto-save feature.
	Auto Save Intervals Minutes	How often the system triggers an auto save. Minimum: 1 Minute.
Savable Assets	Skip Loading Assets in Editor	If enabled, ISavableAssets won't load their stored values while you are in the Editor. This prevents your project assets from being permanently overwritten by accident.
	Assets	The registry for all ISavableAsset instances. Drag your assets here to, so the SaveManager can manage them.

Utility Buttons

Open Directory

Clicking this button opens your OS file browser directly at the path where your save games are currently stored.

Editor vs. Game Saves

Savegames created from the editor are located at a different directory, than savegames created from a cooked game. You can use the OpenDirectory method to always open the correct save directory.

How to use multiple Settings

You can create multiple save settings assets for different purposes (i.e. DebugSettings with a 1 minute auto-save and ReleaseSettings with a 10 minute interval).

To switch between them, simply change the reference in your
GameSettings > Custom Settings.
