SnowRunner: How to Fix Frame Drops when Auto-save Appears (step-by-step Tutorial)

Find your SnowRunner save files.
They should be somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<steam account ID>\1465360\remote

For safe keeping, backup your contents of the “remote folder” to your desktop.

Create a new folder “Snowrunner symlink save” on the same drive as your game is installed.
For me this was my G:\ drive

Then move the contents from “remote” folder to this new “Snowrunner symlink save” folder.

Delete the original “remote folder” within the directory from Step 1.

In an elevated command prompt, run the command:

mklink /D “E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\1*******6\1465360\remote” “G:\Snowrunner symlink save” and press ENTER.

You need to change the the drive letter or paths and steam account ID because I can have different paths and steam account ID than you.

For example, if your main SnowRunner save folder was in C:\ drive, and your new “Snorunner symlink save” folder is in “E:\ drive, and your steam account ID is 123456789, do this:
mklink /D “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\123456789\1465360\remote” “E:\Snowrunner symlink save”
