Get help

EffigyStudio is a very small studio, so there is no ticket queue and no phone line — but there is always a human reading these two channels.

Discord — fastest

discord.gg/HJbphSPRhK — bug reports, questions, and the place where updates get announced first.

Reporting a bug well

Four things turn a report we cannot reproduce into one we can fix:

  1. The version number — bottom of Settings.
  2. What you did, in order, right before it broke.
  3. What you expected versus what happened.
  4. A screenshot, or a short clip if it is a visual or combat issue.

Your save file

Saves are stored on your own PC, not in the cloud. Press Win+R and paste this to open the folder that holds them:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\EffigyStudio\Shift Heroes_ Auto Battler\saves

Inside you will find save.json and a save.json.bak backup. Copy the whole folder to back it up before trying anything risky, and attach it to a bug report if we ask for it.

The underscore is not a typo — Windows cannot use a colon in a folder name, so the game's title becomes Shift Heroes_ Auto Battler there. Deleting the saves folder starts a completely fresh game, with no undo.

If we ask you for a log

The log lives in a separate folder with an almost identical name — no underscore this time:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\EffigyStudio\Shift Heroes Auto Battler\Player.log

Attach Player.log — and Player-prev.log too if the problem happened during the previous session.

Common questions

QuestionAnswer
What does it cost?The game is free to play.
Which platforms?Windows. There is no macOS, Linux or mobile build.
Controller support?No — keyboard and mouse, and it is fully playable with the mouse alone.
Do I need internet?Yes. Progress is validated on our servers, so the game needs a connection to play.
Does it have to stay on top of my other windows?Only if you want it to — always-on-top is an option you turn on, not the default.
Do I have to keep watching it?No. That is the whole point: AFK mode plays on its own.
Which languages?103 interface languages.
Can I move my save to another PC?Yes — copy the saves folder above.
