CSL Win10 Ed. - Save game issues.

[MarkJohnson]

I bought the latest Cities: Skylines Windows 10 edition and I keep having trouble saving games. They just vanish all of the time. I do notice that the game goes offline for some unknown reason. But I still can play, and it usually saves it for me. This time I did a huge amount of work and want to know if anyone knows where the saved games are located? Or even where the MS Store save them?

Since the setup is similar to the Xbox edition I wonder if similar savegame issues are plaguing this as well?

That's where Steam version stores them. These two games are very different. MS turned this game into their one of their new Universal Windows Platform Games designed to run on any version of windows. i.e. phone, xbox, pc, etc. Everything is encrypted, hidden, and broken up into several folders and probably tied into the registry. it is a total mess. This thing is worse than the Games For Windows Live platform they tried. Looks like Steam is safe for now. lol

I imagine so, I don't see it be too much different than Xbox One as it now runs Windows 10 as well. But mine keeps dropping the internet all of the time for some reason. Is there a Discussion for this game on the MS store or somewhere? MS seems to have eliminated any kind of support for the game everywhere. I don't blame them, they don't want everyone talking bad about this new crappy platform. All I want is access to my saved data. They couldn't be bothered to at least give us access to own own work.
