    Per title, on Steam I get no option to import my existing profile, it goes straight to character selection and naming. How can I import? Thanks.

    Isn't the game supposed to offer the option of importing your old profile at the beginning rather than create a new one?

    Only if you have the files to import on your PC (i.e. Documents/My Games/TrainSimWorld5)

    The guide is out of date but I assume there is supposed to be an import option here:

    Just an FYI, I was prompted to keep my profile or create a new one. I wonder if you were fully logged in to dovetail.live or something strange interferd with this.

    It seems indeed that something strange has interfered. It didn't ask me to log into Dovetail Live. Would like to get this resolved as I can't really play right now.

    There is no TrainSimWorld6 folder even after creating a character. In Documents/My Games/ - the other folders from prior versions are there.
