Where Are Episode I Racer Save Files Located?
Episode I Racer keeps podracer progress in .sav files inside the install tree, with config beside them and clouds on top.
Last updated
Episode I Racer predates modern save conventions by decades. Podracer progress lives as .sav files in a data player folder inside the install directory, with tgfd.dat beside them. Config files sit in a data config tree nearby.
Program Files installs can trigger VirtualStore redirection, which silently moves writes into LocalAppData. High frame rates break the 1999 physics, so cap timing before chasing smoothness. Copy the player folder whole and the galaxy transfers.
