Profile & Save Management

Truckers Tool Linux has intelligent and safe profile settings to manage your save game data.

Automatic Game Profile Detection

If configured correctly, TTL can automatically sense the list of game profiles on your system. Go to the Settings > Game Paths menu.

• If you use Native Linux, point this path to the default installation folder (e.g. ~/Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/).
• If you are a Steam Play (Proton) or Wine user, point the path to the compatdata location (e.g. ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/227300/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/).

Advanced Recovery (Restore & Backup)

Prevent Corruption

The application will automatically create a .bak backup when you submit new settings. However, always follow the rule: Never manipulate the save file while you are in the Game (driving mode).

Use the Restore feature:

1. Select a Profile with the Select button.
2. Choose the source Save Slot (quick save, autosave) you want to restore from.
3. Choose the target active slot that will be overwritten by the backup data.
4. A comparison table (Live Diff) will appear — showing differences in Money, XP, Skills, Assets (Trucks, Trailers, Garages, Drivers), Map, and active Jobs.
5. Confirm the restore once you’re satisfied with the comparison.

Restore Modes

Mode	Description
Safe (Granular)	Only overwrites a specific save slot — safe and controlled.
Nuclear	Restores the entire profile directory including profile.sii. Use only if the profile is severely corrupted.

Use Nuclear with Caution

Nuclear mode overwrites all profile data. Make sure you are certain before using it.
