I’m trying to update an old app of mine for the Google Play Store. I remain using 4.19 because some of the updates would give me a good bit of extra work to do to keep some of the mechanics running, but if an upgrade to a specific UE4 version would help to fix the following issues, just say the word and I’ll deal with the extra hassle.
I want my players to be able to uninstall my game from the Play Store and keep their old save file(s). I have “ExternalFilesDir” unchecked for this reason (uninstalling with this checked deletes the saves). Unfortunately however, I realize that when I REINSTALL the APK from my computer, it still deletes the save file(s) left after previously uninstalling.
I hate the thought of someone losing all of their save data when they uninstall. Someone please help me amend this, or better explain why this happens/a better way to go about saving and loading on Android.
