Disconnect

[fatalshadow]

I just purchased the expansion for my daughter and I so we could play the new stuff together. But every time I host a mission and she joins me. We play for about 30 minutes or so and she gets disconnected and loses any and all gear she takes with her. Doesn't seem to happen when she hosts. I know just let her host from now on. But I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if they found a solution to fix it. Oh and can she get her gear back when it wasn't her fault for the disconnect? Thank you

Yes, and no. She can't get the gear back, but our character information is stored locally now on our computers. So it's possible to locate and edit the saves files. You can give yourself more currencies (red, exotics, etc) and then re-buy the lost gear.

The save files are usually stored at

users / username / appdata / local / icarus / saved / playerdata / (long number)

In that folder, look for "profile". Open it with any text editor. Highly recommend you make a copy before touching anything though.

The file format is saved as .JSON format, which means it's mostly plain english. Just with _very_ particular formatting. In .JSON stuff, it's critical that you never erase any punctuation or formatting. It all means something. The curly brackets, commas, all of that has super specific functions.

At the very top of that file, should be a section that looks like this: ( this is from my files, I took out my steam number and replaced currency counts with "###".

{
"UserID": "***REDACTED***",
"MetaResources": [
{
"MetaRow": "Refund",
"Count": ###
},
{
"MetaRow": "Credits",
"Count": ###
},
{
"MetaRow": "Exotic1",
"Count": ###
},
{
"MetaRow": "Exotic_Red",
"Count": ###
}
],

Refund is talent respecs, credits is ren, exotic1 is purple exotics, exotic_red is prometheus red exotics.

Edit the ### to a higher number to give currencies. Then your daughter can just re-buy lost gear.

Thank You, will look into this

{
"MetaRow": "Exotic_Red",
"Count": ###
}

doesn't work. Whenever I insert that, everything else is 0 in the game. So there is wall somewhere to prevent that to edit before you actually got it ingame I suppose.

Comma check?

{
"MetaRow": "Exotic1",
"Count": ###
}, <--- This comma needs to be added if you're pasting in the rest.
{
"MetaRow": "Exotic_Red",
"Count": ###
} <--- The last entry doesn't have a comma.
],

If the syntax is wrong none of it reads right, thus you have zero currencies.

Is there a way to do this with pets and mounts ? Having to tame them and lvl them after some aliens have taken them away is getting irritating (FYI they just despawn or something hence the alien reference)

1) If you are afraid of losing your pet or some other unpredictable problem, I recommend that you save your Icarus progress to a separate folder on another partition of the drive (or flash drive). (disable Steam clouds, otherwise, when you manually return your saves, there is a chance that Steam cloud will return the original saves).
-------->! You need to save the entire directory c:\Users\"name your windows account"\AppData\Local\Icarus\Saved
You can do a 'full rollback' with this.
2) You can try to ‘roll back’ the save via a backup file, which is done every half hour or when you exit to the ‘character selection’ menu; until that moment everything was fine.
Mission names usually consist of a set of letters and numbers. You can determine which save was from your mission by the fact that these *.json files will have to have the latest creation date.

3) You can also try to restore via backup mounts.json (Natjur)
