EMPRESS.bin (lemmy.ml)

I recently installed Assassin's Creed Odyssey Dodi repack in SSD. After modifying the game settings and playing it for a bit, there's a file named EMPRESS.bin next to its shortcut in my desktop. Can I delete this shortcut or move it to the game's folder in Dodi Repack folder? Edit: I renamed the .bin file. Apparently, it created another EMPRESS.bin file. I deleted it and renamed the original to its original name and it works fine. Guess it will have to stay along with the Shortcut icon.

I assume it creates some sort of save file in the current working directory?

You may try changing the working directory via batch script, if you're on Windows.

Make a text file, name it something like launch.bat (the actual name may be whatever you want, just make sure you leave the extention .bat) Paste this there:

@echo off
cd /d "%~dp0"
start "" "game.exe"

Be sure to replace game.exe with your game's .exe filename. Don't delete any double quotes, they are important.

Put this text file near .exe file of your game, and make a shortcut of it to your desktop. You may rename a shortcut and choose an icon from your game's .exe file to make it pretty.

After that just launch the shortcut as you normally would. If I'm correct, the game should create it's .bin file in the script directory and not in your desktop.

I'll try this and let you know the outcome later.
