How to change save game location on PC. Specifically C: Drive to another HDD

[Neshane]

I don't like my saves being on my Boot drive. Is there a way to change my save file location to another drive, I have plenty of space on my 2nd HDD.

Specifically I want to load the Neebsgaming Navesgame map, I know save files are in the Appdata/Roaming/7D2D,

is it possible to change the drive it uses? or perhaps the entire location so it's like the document directory of my other programs? Which all use my E: drive.

I've tried searching these forums but it's a mess with post as old as 2013, and that annoying puppy verification.

1. Not a bug report.

2. I was not even able to find a registry edit that could do this.

3. Possible fix would be using the mklink command in the command prompt to create a symbolic link

mklink /d C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie E:\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie

and then just move all the files/hidden files/sub folders from the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie to to your E:\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie directory

What you're asking for is kind of an extreme measure though.

Of course, it would just HAVE to be that easy. LOL

Personally I've used this method since LONG before the Launcher existed:

[Tutorial] Putting saves on a different drive or path for the Client (not dedicated server).

Also allows for setting a number of other settings not in the GUI and only available in serverconfig.xml

 

[Alloc]

Still way more complex than just adding it to the launch arguments

Edit: Nvm. Doesn't work.
