Star Trek: Voyager — Across The Unknown Manual Save Game Mover Tool (Free Download)

If you’ve been playing Star Trek: Voyager – Across The Unknown, you’ll already know the game uses an Ironman-style autosave system.

That means:

• You can’t freely create manual saves
• A bad decision or unlucky event can permanently cost crew members or progress
• You’re relying entirely on the game’s limited autosave points

For some players that’s part of the experience. For others… it’s frustrating.

After reading a community workaround showing how to manually copy save files, I decided to build a small utility that automates the process safely and cleanly.

What the tool does

The program watches the game’s save folder and automatically creates timestamped backups every time the game saves.

Instead of manually copying files yourself, it:

• Detects when the game writes a save
• Creates a historical backup copy
• Keeps the original file name intact
• Adds a timestamp after .sav

Example:

00_GX_STV_SaveGame_0003.sav.20260220_184443

To restore a backup, you simply remove the timestamp so the file ends with .sav again and copy it back.

How to use

1) Start safely

Launch the game and reach the main menu first. This avoids copying files while the game is actively writing them.

Disable Steam Cloud saves for this game.

2) Run the Save Mover

Open the program and you’ll see the detected save folder automatically filled in.

Click: Copy Existing Now — this creates an immediate snapshot.
Then click: Start Watching.

Now every autosave will be backed up automatically.

3) Restore a backup

1. Return to the game main menu
2. Open your backup folder
3. Pick the save you want
4. Remove the timestamp so it ends with .sav
5. Copy it back into the game save folder
6. Overwrite when prompted
7. Load your profile

You are now back at that point in time.

Important notes

• The game only autosaves at certain events — no save event means no backup
• You may lose progress since the last autosave (this is unavoidable)

Why this exists (credit)

This utility was inspired by the community guide explaining how to manually copy saves:

The guide explains the manual method; this tool simply automates it so players don’t have to constantly alt-tab and manage files themselves.
