Saving Your Progress
Currently your career and various settings are stored only in your browser. They'll persist between page reloads, the browser restarting, and your computer restarting. It will, however, be lost if your browser data (specifically, its Local Storage) is cleared. Your career also won't automatically synchronize to your other devices.
To ensure your progress is not accidentally lost, we recommend you regularly download backups of your state by clicking one of these buttons:
-
in the top bar. The number tells you how many races you've finished since the last backup. -
in the bottom right. This box is fairly noisy, so you can click "Never show again" to hide it.
In either case, clicking the download button will make your browser download your current saved state in a file. You can import previously downloaded save states using this button in the top bar:
Note that doing so will overwrite your currently loaded progress (and, to avoid losing your data, the upload dialog will prompt you to first download the current progress).
Backups of the save state are created in browser Local Storage on a few occasions:
- When career progress is reset via the Career page
- When a save state is imported / uploaded
- When save data version migrations are executed (usually after loading an older save data on a newer version of the app)
Only one backup is kept around for each event. These backups (along with the current active save data) can be inspected and downloaded in the Data Debugger page, linked in the right of the top bar.
