Script setup
If you are afraid that your save might become corrupted, broken by a patch or you get softlock in the game. You can easily make an auto backup with little scripting.

Create a file with a .bat extension (e.g. autobackup_graven_save.bat)

Copy the following inside:

@echo off set SOURCE=%appdata%\..\Local\Praest\Saved\SaveGames set BACKUP=%SOURCE%\BACKUP set TIME_BETWEEN_SAVE=600 set STEAM="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" start "" %STEAM% steam://rungameid/1371690 :loop set timestamp=%date%_%time% echo %timestamp% set timestamp=%timestamp::=% set timestamp=%timestamp:/=% set timestamp=%timestamp: =_% set timestamp=%timestamp:.=% set timestamp=%timestamp:,=% echo Backing up files... xcopy "%SOURCE%\*.*" "%BACKUP%\%timestamp%\" /H /C /I /Y echo Backup completed at %timestamp%. timeout /t %TIME_BETWEEN_SAVE% goto loop

And voila, double click the .bat file and you have an autobackup every 10mn!

You can tweak the four constants above SOURCE, BACKUP, STEAM and TIME_BETWEEN_SAVE to your pleasure.

This will launch the game and backup your save regularly

the script makes backup of your game. It doesn't control how they are used. If you need to change saves, you have to pick one and rename it...

This script setup doesn't work. A save is regularly saved every 10 minutes. However, when I quit and restart the game, I always find myself in the Winter Village (Act 2)

О да, отличное решение. Жаль я его нашел поздно, когда предварительно столкнулся с багом на Мистике в 3й локации...)
