Lost your Save? Look No Further (Old)

[tommohawkaction]

Hello,

I've been getting a few messages mentioning you've accidentally deleted your save file, or that the new update broke your save file, so I'm writing this to hopefully help those in need.

Note: If you accidentally deleted your save usually this would be unrecoverable but if you had this save previously before v0.6.0 and played on v0.6.0 then there is a chance you can recover it.

Step One

First thing first, you need a copy of your old save, this will be the basis of recovering the save file (Don't worry v0.6.0+ made a backup of your save file before we converted to the save slot system), this can be located here

Path: %AppData%\LocalLow\RubberBandGames\Wobbly Life\Save\STEAMID\GameSaves\Backup_Old

Step Two

Make a backup of this folder 'Backup_Old; there are no other backups, so once this goes there is no way of recovering your save

Step Three

Okay so you will want to do the following,

Head to this path Path: %AppData%\LocalLow\RubberBandGames\Wobbly Life\Save\STEAMID\GameSaves

This is the root of all player saves and where we save the slot system,
inside the GameSaves folder you will want to create a new folder called

SaveSlot_1 Note: You can replace the number to any number up to a max of 5

Step Four

Inside the 'SaveSlot_1' folder you will want to copy everything which is inside Backup_Old and paste it in there

Step Five (Important)

Okay now that you have all your old Save files in this folder you will want to do some renaming, as we have changed the layout of our save system

So you will want to replace each file name with the corresponding:

SystemPlayer => PlayerData_1
LocalPlayer_2 => PlayerData_2
LocalPlayer_3 => PlayerData_3
LocalPlayer_4 => PlayerData_4

Step Six

You need one more file which is the SlotInfo.sav

I've prepared one which you can download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CCmenSVwppqHuJk2QsQrWd-Tk7IXOf6w/view?usp=sharing

Once downloaded, put the SaveInfo.sav into the '/SaveSlot_1/' folder

Note: You technically don't need this, but if you don't then it will look like the save file is empty, but once you play and exit it will look normal

Step Seven

That's all, launch the game and hopefully you will see your Save

Hello,
(My englisch are Not so god)
I do that on the First Post but it dosent work for me. 6 Outfits are back but too many are lost…. My son is very Sad

Can everyone help me?

[lookus]

Hi

Please help... There's no Backup_Old folder (not even in hidden files), only the save slots created from three differente games he played and he lost the skins in all of them. We invested more than 150 hours in the game, I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance

I have all the gifts but it bugs and shows that I only have 99 gifts in wobbly life i even reinstallt the game

[Prince-mon]

thank you this was useful

[rockingfire22]

i dont understand

[ThatMadEngineer]

I don't have backup_old either like a few other people, I have 2 save_slot (1 and 2) - any advice please on next steps? thanks

Welp, another X amount of hours lost due to wobbly life deciding to delete our saves again. Second time this has happened, and we had nearly everything. My son loves this game, and this is super annoying to keep happening. This fix doesn't work. We need an actual developer response to this, as to why its happening, and what we can do to prevent this.

[ErfWermJay]

If anyone happens to have a character that has everything, jetpack, propellerhead, hoverboard, outfits.. please upload your PlayerData_# to a file sharing site so the rest of us can modify the sav files. Normally i wouldnt recommend "hacking" the sav files but with so many hours invested into this paid game, this is the only solution.

Update to .75 wiped my saves, the stickied post does nothing to address the issue. I've got a few hundred hours in this game and would like my progress back.

[JacobGamer]

way to go rubber band you just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ my kids world with your stupid update. guess you need more schooling in dong ♥♥♥♥. maybe its part of your skim to have kids stuck in the stupid game all the time and restart everything.

[Yoru]

Wow thanks, It really helped me!

[LordSalmon]

I'm not seeing a backup_old folder or file anywhere... My son just accidentally deleted his save file with over 150 hours worth of play time. Any thing I can do to fix this?

[FandangoChristmas]

Help, my daughter re-joins my game, but her progress is lost (clothing,money,cars). Please look into that.

[Dunx]

Unfortunately, my son lost most of his progress too, please look into the issue, thank you.
