I would assume the values asigned to this are set by the game engine rather than a configuration file, so your idea probabably won't work.

[quote] Oof, this should be always binary, it shouldn't be easy for people to cheat and edit their save games (3 megs of text is doable in some text editors). [/quote]Why is this a problem?

The current location for the Sins save directory in Technical Sins Forums

It would be really nice if the save directory for SOSE could be changed to reside in My Documents rather than a long tedious path inside Local Settings\Application Data The majority of the data is save files and screenshots, I don't see why it couldn't reside in My Documents/My Games instead. It would make it much more accessible.
