Topic: Launcher and Azimuth
Your saves live inside the Azimuth folder, in data\titles. There are no cloud saves. If you delete the Azimuth folder, your progress goes with it.
Before any update or reinstall
1. Close the game, Azimuth and the FH2MP launcher.
2. Copy data\titles from your Azimuth folder to somewhere safe, for example your Documents.
If you play FH2MP
Let the launcher handle it. When a launcher update supports a new Azimuth version, it tells you and installs it. Don't update Azimuth ahead of the launcher. See [Which Azimuth and mod versions work with FH2MP](/tutorials/supported-versions).
If you update Azimuth by hand
The safest way is a fresh folder:
1. Unpack the new Azimuth ZIP into a new, empty folder.
2. Start it once, add your game folder, then close it.
3. Copy your backed-up titles folder into the new data folder, replacing the empty one.
4. Reinstall your mods in the new folder, using versions made for the new Azimuth.
Copying the new files over the old folder also works for many people, but keep your titles backup in case something goes wrong.
Going back to an older Azimuth
Saves made by a newer Azimuth are not guaranteed to load in an older one. Keep your backup, and expect old mods to be needed again. An older Azimuth cannot go online with FH2MP.
My progress looks reset after updating
Your save is most likely still there, under another profile folder. See [The prologue starts again or my progress is gone](/tutorials/progress-missing).
