pc, so that you can create backup. The bad thing about sh5 is that you have to start a new campaign every time you install a mod that edits campaign files.

Where did I choose between PC and server where are the savegames lying? Can I adjust it?

I've done this but still get a message on game start up about synchronising saved games with the server.

Is this normal for a locally stored save game file?

I don't mind a game saved on the server because I always save to the pc so that I have ownership and a server fail won't kill my campaign.

Let's face it, depending on some other machine to keep your file for you is asking for loss. However, having an extra copy of your local game is a nice insurance. If your pc has problems...
