The DataPersistenceManager interacts with the to manage data encryption and decryption, allowing the to process and load game data seamlessly.
IMPORTANT: The DataPersistenceManager must exist in the scene for data to be saved.
You don’t need to manually add the DataPersistenceManager to each scene, as it is marked with [DontDestroyOnLoad]. Simply place the DataPersistenceManager in your Main Menu scene. When starting the game in a gameplay scene, data won’t be saved. However, when starting from the Main Menu, the DataPersistenceManager will persist across different scenes, ensuring data can be saved.
In Save & Load Pro Add-On, saving the game is very simple! You can access DataPersistenceManager.cs Singleton to Save & Load the game with a single line of code.
Only the Data Stored in GameDataManager will be saved into the Game Data Json, so make sure to Store the Required Data, otherwise nothing will be saved.
In order to access DataPersistenceManager, ensure to add the following library on top of your Script:
The DataPersistenceManager manages Profile IDs and interacts with the Save & Load Pro Add-On to handle data operations across different save slots.

The Profile ID remains unchanged during gameplay and can only be modified from the Main Menu when selecting a different save slot.
