What is stored on Players PC?

[Lone Wolf]

Does anyone know the breakdown of what info is stored on the Server, and what is stored on the Players HDD/SSD?

 

The reason that I ask is that I play on two different Computers, one in the AM and the other in the PM because I am in two different locations at those times. My problem is that when I visit various Ports with my PM Computer, when I log on the next day with my AM computer it shows those visited Ports as 'not Visited'? Yet when I log in again on my PM computer the Ports show up as visited!

 

It's as if the 'Ports visited' information resides on my PC and not on the Server. Am I correct in this, or is there another explanation?

The list of visited ports, and what they produce/consume, is indeed stored locally.  There is nothing exploitable in those files (e.g. you can't change anything and cause different behavior in the game itself).  There may be a few other small convenience items, but there isn't a whole lot stored locally.  Funny story - after nearly a year of testing Open World, when I logged in after the full EA wipe, all of my visited ports information was still present on the map.  

 

Almost everything else, gold, assets, progress, ships, etc. are all stored server side.

Thank you, I thought that was the case.

 

It does make playing the Game on two different PC's a bit challenging!

well u visited the ports and the u didnt delete the game , just patched i think. so i would've guessed that port info would stay , in my case that was a wrong guess . so aftzer the wipe i was like dang , map erased . i guess it wsant that way for all of us
