Developer comments:

Game Save issue

Many players encountered an issue that prevented players from saving their game after some actions. Thanks to your bug reports and help with logs, videos and save data, we were finally able to find the cause of that issue.. The problem was with the limit of Windows Registry key size on some OS / PC. That’s why we decided to save files a little earlier than we planned, so players can continue playing without fear of losing their progress.

Saving in files instead of Windows Registry

Saving in files was one of the most requested features since the game’s release, and now it’s finally here! After the first launch of the game, all of your saves will be automatically transferred to files. You can find them in this directory:

%appdata%\..\LocalLow\niceplay games\Potion Craft\Saves

or

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\niceplay games\Potion Craft\Saves

Thank you to everyone who reported bugs, helped with logs, videos and save data. Please keep on sharing your feedback with us!
