Save files are still in the released build

[Mooneon]

Okay so I released my game just for testing and when I opened it up. It still had my save files in it!
How do I fix this?

IIRC it uses the same save location as your in-dev, so you should still have the same saves. Shouldn't be a problem for someone who hasn't played it before.

As Scalemail told you. Your distribution doesn't have your save files. It's only reading them from your harddisk. Run your distribution executable on another computer and you will see there are no save files.

OHH. Okay. Thanks!

IIUIC, you can check for this line in options.rpy:

Code: Select all

python early:
    config.save_directory = "my_game_name-1234567890"

If you change a single character in the directory name, the previous info in your computer won't be available, and it will be as if the game it there for the first time.
