How to transfer save file from one host to another?

[DingusTron]

My friends and I have just played a few hours, and now the host is AFK for a few days.
We got his save folder, but we're unable to make it appear in our Multiplayer loads. Does anyone have a guide on how to load the external save?

Thanks in advance

No, unfortunately not

ok i found out you need to copy multiplayer saves to your file
the host need to go to his files
C:\x\x\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves
then copy multiplayer file and upload it to you
then you download it and then paste it to your saves

Thanks for the reply! I did try that, but nothing appears in my “Continue” tab in the game after I’ve replaced the save folder with my own.
Did you just replace the entire folder?

no, i enter the long number file there is 2 files inside "multiplayer and steam_autocloud.vdf"
so i copy my friend" multiplayer and steam_autocloud.vdf "files and paste them inside my long folder (C:\x\x\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves\76561198082607146)
and after that launch game then go to multiplayer then press host you will find his save

and if you want to play with the same friend who give you his file but your the host you need to copy your files and give it to him and he give you his server files "you and him switch characters"

Thanks for the reply again!
I also created a single player campaign and placed a tarp and made a save. Then I had a Multiplayer AND MultiplayerClient folder in the save folder. I pasted the save files into the Multiplayer folder and then it worked

Check my latest reply. If you still can’t get it to work then I’ll gladly write a more detailed guide when I’m at my PC again

Awarded, this worked like a charm,

Has anyone figured out a way to do this without having to "swap" characters with the host? If I just directly paste my host friends numbered save file in my "Multiplayer" folder, when I boot the game I can see the save it and continue the game, but I'm "him". If I unzip the SaveData folder in the Multiplayer host save, and copy my PlayerInventorySaveData.json and PlayerStateSaveData.json from my MultiplayerClient SaveData into it, and rezip the hosting SaveData, the save no longer shows up.

I suspect the game is zipping the folder with some kind of checksum or something, but pouring through all the other surrounding files it doesnt show anything that might be the case.

Only clue is when starting the game and trying to load the Host - Continue server (that i modified and rezipped with my character), the Player.log file shows an error that GameSaveStateData.json doesnt exist in the zip, but it definitely does.
