Legacy save game import - cigumo/krli GitHub Wiki

NOTE: This only applies to KR1 (Kingdom Rush).

The legacy (Unity) and the new (Love) versions of KR1 use different save game files.

To make the transition as easy as possible, the first time the new version is run it will import the legacy save games. This is only done once, so the progress you make in the beta version will not be reflected back in the legacy version and vice versa.

If for some reason you need to import the legacy save games again please follow the instructions below.

WARNING: The import process only works for games saved with the latest version of the legacy game (v2.2). You can switch to the legacy steam branch and run the legacy game to update them. Then follow the procedure below.

WARNING: this will overwrite all new version save game files and you will loose any progress you made there. Make backups!

  1. Open the folder with the new (Love) version save game (see below)
  2. Delete the global.lua file
  3. Launch the new (Love) version.
  4. The 3 slots will be imported from the legacy (Unity) version.
