Change folder for saved games?

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to change the folder for the savegame files for X3? My problem is that all files under "My Documents" is being synchronized at work on a server, including all my files belonging to X3.
That's a lot of data I don't need synchronized...

No, it isn't possible to change that...and why are you playing games when you should be working anyway?

I'm not playing at work.

But I do use the same computer at home. When I get back to work I will get a notification stating that the files will be synchronized. And this is of course not necessary.

Can you not exclude certain sub-folders from the synchronisation process?

The system administrator tells me that not possible because the settings are the same for all users (100+), but I'm sure I can figure out something.

At least I can stop looking for a way to save games in another folder. It's not big problem, as long as I don't keep too many savegames at the same time. I will probably stick to 3-4, in addition to the autosaves.

hi the way i do it is i create a desktop folder x3 tc saves in that folder i make each week a new folder and save my latest saves in that

atleast the saves concerning then all you have to do is swap them in there and before you go to work delete those saves out of the main x3tc saves folder once home again you can allway swap them back in

Thanks for the tip, uc. That's a lot better than any idea I have come up with.

I was after the same thing but for a different reason. I play on 2 pcs so would have been handy to have them share the same save path over the network.

I normally play on my Intel but when I need that machine for work / another game or over night I tend to run X3TC on my AMD64 machine. My AMD is on all the time downloading anyways so nice to leave X running on SETA making me money while I sleep =)

Well nevermind, ill just carry on copying my saves between machines manually, does the job.
