I recently started playing cyberpunk, I downloaded it from dodi and now i've noticed in one month or so, cyberpunk will receive a major update so I will need to reinstall the game with the update. How can I keep my save?

Yes, I was planning to download the new version from gog games. But when I installed the game I didn't think about gog games at all, when searching for games I often go directly to DODI.

Could you explain this Sandboxie method? I don't understand, what do I have to upload?

You can also check out Process Monitor which is a freeware tool from Microsoft. So basically what you would do is: open process monitor, make a new game save and then process monitor will show you where this save file is located.

Sandboxie is a sandboxing app. It's main purpose is to isolate an app from your PC, mainly used to run suspicious apps. It can track what the isolated app does.

It's rather complicated, so it's easier to find the game here, or as what I do, use Everything and sort by recently modified files so I can check what files are just written.

I can also recommend Everything (1.5a) as it's the only tool I know of where I can search not only for file names, but also for the contents of pdfs, docx, etc on every drive, including network drives.
