## Resolving Save Issues in Elden Ring

### Step 1: Verify Game Installation

1. Ensure **Elden Ring** is correctly installed on your system.
2. Check that you receive the message **"Failed to load Elden Ring save data"** when you try to launch the game.

### Step 2: Install the Coop Mod

1. Go to [Nexus Mods](https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/510?tab=files&file_id=26225) to download the coop mod for Elden Ring.
2. Follow a tutorial video to install the mod (you can find tutorials on YouTube).

### Step 3: Create a Character with the Coop Launcher

1. Launch the game using the coop mod launcher.
2. Create a new character and enter the game.
3. Once your character has spawned, exit the game.

You should now find two new save files in the directory: `user/appdata/roaming/elden/idsteam`
- `ER0000.co2`
- `ER0000.co2.bak`

### Step 4: Rename the Save Files

1. **ER0000.co2**: Rename this file to `ER0000.sl2`.
2. **ER0000.co2.bak**: Rename this file to `ER0000.sl2.bak`.

### Step 5: Replay the Game

1. Relaunch the game normally.
2. Your saves should now load correctly.

What installing a mod has to do with solving any Elden Ring issue? OP?.

Well you took your time posting thing in french and english......if you really want this thread to be informative be clear about installing the coop mood being a "option" not the solution to anything.

Goodbye, OP and thanks for the thread.

Great post, OP!

BUT:

1. The links are screwed up and Steam thinks they're malicious.

2. Renaming a Seamless Co-op save to a vanilla save and then running vanilla with that renamed save will result in a 180 day ban.

EDIT:

3. What save issue does this even address?
