Hi there,

is it possible to copy the ranking and/or Achievements to another device? I got a new one and don’t want to forget all my heroes 😥

    Unfortunately there currently isn’t a way to do this without either root access or Google Play services. Previously ADB backup could be used, but Google had killled that tool.

    I worry about allowing manual export/import as it would make it really easy for players to cheat by downloading rankings data/badges, but I do also realize that no way to directly transfer data is a pretty big problem atm.

      Hi 00-Evan, thank you for your time to answer this question. When I look to all other advantages of your game, it’s not a real big problem. Respecting privacy is more important to me, than transferring badges for example.

      btw evan i saw that there is a “files” directory in /sdcard/Android/data/com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon but is empty compared to /data/data/com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon is that on purpose? also cheating is still pretty easy(by modifying game.dat) if that is what you are trying to prevent

        I think so. In fact, the location of the archive can be accessed without root by modifying the archive directory before compilation. In fact, as a single player game, the discussion of cheating has no outcome. But it doesn’t necessarily require pursuing victory, making all gamers enjoy it is the most important thing
