Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question or has been addressed before (I've tried searching for an answer but failed). Is it possible to have multiple player profiles? My son and I would like each to play, but I don't see a way to set up different user profiles in the game so that we don't overwrite each other's progress. Thanks much for your help.

I'm afraid not. However, the savegames are stored in your Windows user's document directory.
If you turn off cloud synchronization or don't use Galaxy at all, you can have different profiles by using different Windows users. If you only have one user, you can backup and replace the savegames directory.

I found the lack of userprofilles already annoying on the PS4.

On PS4 at least user profiles were handled by logging into another local profile. Makes it easier if you have more than 2 games that multiple people play.

Theoretically, logging into a separate windows profile should do the same, from what I can tell (as someone who doesnt have the game for pc and was only scouring through the forums for a bit) the savegames should be situated inside the user specific Userprofile folder.

Yes, that's what I mentioned above when I said " by using different Windows users".

I am not sure how - or if at all- Galaxy cloud synchronisation handles this, so I would turn it off - just to be sure.

Yeah, kind of overread that part. Only saw it after I posted, sorry.
Wonder if you enable windows, multiple users. You could get multiple savegame directories?

*-*/ Just saw the above. Sorry.
