Hi,

I'm playing Tropico 3 on two machines. I've set up a cloud-save via DropBox, but i can't figure out which files i need to add into the mix in order to save the state of the main campaign. So far I've clouded folders: "Save" "ExSave" & "Challenges", but none of them keep track of my main campaign.

Help, please?

Personally I back up the whole Tropico 3 folder in the Roaming directory. I believe that the file UserConfig2.lua is to do with your profile and thus is vital to be able to use your save games.

I put the whole directory in. Completely messed it up. :P
Now i get a critical error. It says i need a DX9 compatible graphics-card, and won't start.

Could it be that the graphical settings on one computer aren't compatible with the graphical settings on the other?

Just a guess: Perhaps try it without overwriting the %appdata%/Roaming/Tropico 3/UserConfig2.lua file, everything else looks as saves etc.


[edit]
Ah, ShaderCache seems to cause that DX9 problem. Empty it and try then.

Yeah, the graphic-settings are in the UserConfig2.lua. I tried emptying the cache without any improvement. I then tried copying everything EXCEPT the UserConfig2.lua, which worked like a charm. I guess the progress is stored in either update.dat or arculat, but i don't know which.
