COTW Save Manager

READ BELOW: "Some suspicious files"

 in the Download section

COTW Save Manager is a simple tool to allow you to keep multiple game saves without having to move the files yourself.

theHunter COTW only allows the player to keep one save, and to start fresh you need to delete all your progress. We can avoid this by keeping copies of different saves on a separate location and only showing the game the save we want to play on.

This tool crates a zip file with all the saves (except the one in use) to save space. These files are kept under %appdata%/COTWSaveManager.

USAGE

Short guide by DarkFaeGaming, posted in the comments:

- Keep both the .exe and the .exe.config together

- Run via the .exe file

- Existing save will show " Unnamed save"

- Click on that to highlight it

- Write name in the box above, next to the button that says "Copy Active", then click rename. This will name that save file

- Type up a name for another save. This time click "Create". This will make your second file

- To switch between them, simply click to highlight the one you want, and click on "Set Active"

After every version release the "Some suspicious files" label shows up on Nexus Mods (more info below), so between release and fixing you can:

1) Download the latest version which is deemed safe

2) Download any verion of your choosing from Github via the Releases page.

Dependencies:

This tool was written in C# with WinForms (. NET Framework 4. 7. 2) so as long as you are running Windows 10 or newer, all dependencies are already installed! All done!

The provided file contains the following files:

- COTWSaveManager.exe (Tool itself)

- COTWSaveManager.exe.config (Configuration file, used internally by the program)

- README_Install.txt (Simple install instructions)

Nexus Mods flagged my tool as "suspicious" by their automated security checker. I'm glad it exists. Don't trust executables from the internet, they can be extremely dangerous. If possible always check the source code and compile programs youself. You can do this at my github repository (linked above) to be sure no funny buiseness is happening.
