Can't load custom designs?

Post by Jorgen_CAB »

How do you open custom saved designs?!?!

It just say file not found!!!

It is exported according to the game to the following folder.

...\Documents\My Games\Rule the Waves 3\Custom Files

And why on earth can't I open a prototyped design for editing if I made some mistake on it, make zero sense to me from a gameplay perspective... I don't want to start building a ship from a faulty design I just prototyped and I don't want to completely redesign it either from ground up?!?

I can "export" the file and the file goes to the ...\Documents\My Games\Rule the Waves 3\Custom Files folder... when I try to load the file by pressing the "Load ship design" button and choose a custom design the game simply give me the error of "File not found".

I can however use "stock" and then manually go to the ...\Documents\My Games\Rule the Waves 3\Custom Files folder... and load the file just fine... but this is a very time consuming way to open saved designs.

We've noted that there's a bug that may be causing issues in the game where it's looking in the incorrect place. We're expecting to release an update that hopefully resolves this issue very soon. Please keep your eyes open for it.
