The only methods I personally can come up with that won't dramatically change the saving system will need use of a .int or .ini line that specifies the name/location of the ini, which would bring up another problem of you'd still be deleting the system folder with the paths set up to the new ini/int location..

whoops.

why are you even deleting your system directories so much?

I have few installations of Unreal on each PC. In every installation I have few or even more System/ directories. So I just delete them when they are unneeded anymore. I need to copy&paste [UnrealShare.UnrealSlotMenu] section to new User.ini. But that would be rather easier when having one SavedGameInfo.ini which you can just copy to new System/. That should bring more order to Unreal, shouldn't it?

On the one hand, many newer games put save games under user directories instead of the program directory, which is good in case of uninstall/reinstall cycles. On the other hand, preparing for something as drastic as a nuke to the entire system directory sounds like a user problem.

I think this depends on a.) how difficult it is to put in and b.) how many users actually want it. If a >> b then it's not an efficient use of time.

In Linux almost all old games store user data in user directory. But I've noticed that some new games don't do that way.

I'm not happy to load each save to see what it is. It's easier to remove all saves and forget about it.
