Is there a proper updater?

Post by Nexus Darkshade »

I've been playing WZ for many years now (Windows) and I was wondering if there was a way to update the game without having to install a new version separately and moving save info over.

If you are running Windows 10+, you can install it from the Microsoft Store, which will automatically update: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9MW0Z4MPCS8C

Plans are being made to use a consistent config directory for stable builds, which would mean saves and configuration would be carried forward automatically in the future.

Any updates on this? I'm browsing the windows apps folder and am unable to locate my savegames and mp maps folder. Nothing on the wiki or in the search either.

edit: found it! C:\Users\"Yournamehere"\AppData\Local\Packages\48148WZ2100Project.Warzone2100forWindows_qsk72963svc8a\LocalState\Warzone 2100 Project\Warzone 2100

That was a mouthful. Don't mean to be nitpicky, but is there a way this could eventually move into the games folder C:\Users\"Yournamehere"\Documents\My Games\Warzone 2100. MSFS 2020 seems to do it so I think there is a structure in place for that. That would be my suggestion anyway.

Anywho, happy new year!

It's implemented since 4.2.0-beta1: https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2100/pull/2248.

If I understand correctly, the next update, invites modders to create content? If so, it would be interesting to see again mods that can improve the game and help the devs.
