Starting Again: A Guide on Wiping Saves

[WIREDMichael]

Hey all!! We've seen quite a few people asking how to wipe your save data and start again. There isn't presently a button in the game to allow you to do this, so here's a quick guide on how to do this!

First, make sure you've disabled Steam Cloud saves. You can do this by right-clicking the game on your Steam games list, and unticking the "Keep games saves in the Steam Cloud for Arcade Paradise". You can re-enable this after you've booted the game with no save data present, but keep it off for now to make sure that your save stays wiped.

Next, you'll want to find your save file. This is always in the same place:

C:\Users\[WINDOWS USER]\AppData\LocalLow\Nosebleed Interactive\Arcade Paradise\[STEAM ID]\

Where [WINDOWS USER] is your Windows user's username, and [STEAM ID] is a string of numbers associated with your Steam account.
Once you're there, you'll find a file called "RATSaveData.dat". This file contains your save data. If you delete it, you'll be able to play from scratch, but you may wish to take a backup before you wipe, just in case something goes wrong. To do this, simply copy the file to another location.

Finally, boot up the game, and make sure that the "play" button on the main menu reads "New Game" (and not "Continue"), and you've successfully wiped your game!

Good luck on reaching those high scores!!

How about the opposite? I had my game save get deleted when I checked the validity of my files on my steam deck... Is there any way to get my save back? It was deleted on my home PC as well, and there isnt really anywhere else to get the save. I was so deep into the game and would love to get to the end. I will be selling my steam deck to get a lenovo go now. If both are going to have issues, I might as well have double the performance.

Hey untouchabo! Unfortunately it's not likely you'll be able to recover your save. If the Steam Deck has a Recycle Bin, or something equivalent, I would strongly suggest checking through there, but I'm not certain if this is the case. This isn't an issue we've ever seen before, but I believe this is unlikely to occur on a Windows build of the game.

Instead of navigating to "C:\Users\" etc., etc., just open an Explorer window and type "%UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Nosebleed Interactive\Arcade Paradise\" into the address bar. This will directly open the folder showing you the Steam ID folders inside.

Hi Bleep Bloop! It sounds like something else is going on if you're locked out of the "1337 HAXXOR" achievement. Could you please share what's going on here?

fix the game with a new start button. its been 2 years.

I just got done playing Arcade Paradise and can't believe there isn't a "new game" button yet. Did everyone at your game studio think that lowly of the game that they never thought anyone would want to play it more than once? Patch it in already!

Hi! I've been playing this on Xbox Game Pass, but I cant find where Xbox stores the save file. I know it's mostly cloud saved but I'd like to backup my save.

Hey! If you're playing on console, hover over the game, press the Start/Menu button and select "Manage game and add-ons". Scroll down to "Saved data", select your user, then select "Delete Everywhere".

If you're playing on PC Microsoft Store, please note there is no official way to delete save data (this is Microsoft's decision, not ours). You can, however, consider following the below steps:
1. Open the Microsoft store and click on your profile image.
2. Click on Settings and set your Offline Permissions to ON.
3. Launch the game and load up to the start screen.
4. Disconnect your PC from the internet. On Windows 10, after your PC is offline, go to: Windows 10 Settings > Storage > Apps & games > Arcade Paradise > Advanced Options > Select the “Reset” button.
4a. Path on Windows 11: Windows Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > Arcade Paradise > Advanced Options > Select the “Reset” button.
5. Launch the game again as well as play for a few minutes to create a new local save. After going back online, you can select the “LOCAL” option when given the choice for saves.

Don't be so lazy and blame others. It was your decision to not have a "new game" feature in the main menu. You created the headaches, not microsoft or steam!

Unfortunately I don't control the content of the game. Apologies for this.

It might also be worth noting that anyone with the developer tag can see deleted messages on their games' pages, for purposes of moderation. Just in case you didn't know!

You're all getting mad at someone who, given his words thus far, is NOT a member of Nosebleed Interactive, the people who made Arcade Paradise. You are all giving a member of Wired Productions, the *publisher*, flak for things out of his control. Do people genuinely not understand the difference anymore??? Shameful.

Edit: Also, thank you previously for assisting me, Michael, even though it was a year and a half ago.

[Triforce]

No, we are getting mad at the developer for not adding something most basic.
If the publisher decides to respond, that is his choice.
