    Greetings!

    I am submitting feedback about where the game is saving it's settings and screenshots.

    I think it would be excellent to see the setting file for keybinds and the screenshots moved to app data.

    %userprofile%\appdata\local\{program name}\{file name}

    Currently this information is being stored in the programs file folder and the removal and installation of the game causes all settings AND ALL SCREENSHOTS to be lost (warning to those of you who didn't know that already).

    Hope this helps!

    I agree with moving the folder for these items but 'appdata' will not work on the Linux machine. Still for the Linux side of things, perhaps a different easily accessible area.

    Actually I think Appdata is a requirement for Windows. Users without Admin access can have difficulty with games that don't save user data to appdata on newer versions of Windows. As such, I am sure they will swing things over there for Windows users once the game starts to finalize.

    This shouldn't affect users of other OS'.

    Personally i prefer an option to choose my own location. For instance, Screen shots id rather have save to a data drive vs my SSD os drive.
