SaveManager

A local alternative to Ubisoft's Cloudsync for their savegames.

---

Motivation

Ubisoft's cloud sync in my opinion, sucks. I've had tons of save corruptions, entire wipe-outs you name it. The project began around June 2024, but I never managed to actually finish it properly. The original C# CLI version, which I wanted to replace with a GUI version in avalonia but I've come to love C++, ImGui and OpenGL and decided that I should do it properly.

Features

• Local save backup and restore for Ubisoft games
• Cloud sync (ironic, but we use rsync like gigachads)
• Automatic detection of save directories
• Dated backups
• Minimal dependencies
• Simple & customizable GUI

Building

Requirements

• C++ 17+ compatible compiler (MSVC, GCC, or Clang)
• CMake 3.20 or higher

Building

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/msh31/SaveManager.git
cd SaveManager

git submodule update --init --recursive

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build
# optional, built as release:
cmake --build build --config Release

Dependencies

• ImGui | Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
• GLFW | A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input
• Sentinel | A security SDK with modular architecture, built by me. It's mainly for Windows but the logger is cross-platform since it's just files.

Note: After cloning, run: git submodule update --init --recursive
