In addition to content additions, tweaks, and bug fixes, this update changes the way the game saves. Finally, steam cloud support has arrived! This change will hopefully resolve the problem some people were encountering involving errors with saving items on windows 7.For safety, I encourage you to back up your save files before playing on 1.9.3.Thank you to our those who put their saves on the line in the name of testing. Please let me know here, or email to bugreport@saltthegame.com if you run into any problems or find any bugs with the changes on the testing branch.Salt now takes advantage of the Steam Cloud for storing save data files. Steam will automatically handle uploading and downloading your latest save file data between computers. Along with this, when the game saves data has been altered slightly. Your inventory and other certain game states are no longer saved constantly. Instead, the state of the game will save both when you manually save, and periodically as an auto-save. By default, loading a game will load the most recent save, but you can chose to load the last manual or last autosave by clicking on the gear icon next to the save slot in the Load menu.A side effect of the save changes is that the game now requires Steam to be running. However, this does not mean it requires an internet connection as it will work just fine when Steam is in offline mode.Your current save files will automatically be converted to use the steam cloud. No action is required on your part.
