How to I configure the save game location? I want to store my saves/backups on a drive other than "C".
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, go to File/Settings/Expert and click the "select" option next to Custom data path(*) to change your save location.

Thanks. That was it. I've never noticed in in '16 version despite looking for it. Glad it is available.

My pet peeve is applications that just set everything up to run on the C:drive without a way to change it. With the amount of disk access this game has, placing the save info on the C drive is just asking for a crash. I prefer to use an external drive so I don't also lose my system and applications files at the same time if the drive crashes.
