Save Game at Slag Heap pretty please!! (all my saves got corrupted)
My saved games got corrupted & deleted - 2 hours of recovery attempts failed.

This is on the Xbox game pass version (normal edition), but pretty sure Steam (normal edition) saves will work just as well.

I managed to undelete and used hex editor to check contents, deleted obviously corrupted ones, renamed remaining files them to a valid new save filename, but no dice.

If somebody has a save around Slag Heap, ideally early on (I was doing the Nemesis labrynth thing) but heck beggar's can't be choosers, anywhere around that time period will suffice.

P.S. I think game version matters (e.g. Deluxe/Ultimate/Standard, since i tried a Nexus Mods save preset file but that was Deluxe version and game crashes on load - so Normal version please)

Thanks!!

You don't own the game.
I've had to restart the game about 5 times with only about 30-45 minutes of progress before my saves got corrupted. Takes me 20-30 minutes to compile shaders at every launch just to see if the game is going to work at all or even let me save. Welcome to the club.

Perhaps you took 36 hours to get to Slag Heap? :)

no worries champ, will do.

It's been 10 minutes and there are 5 written responses (this forumn seems very active), even though no save yet my hopes are high :)

Your saves get corrupted as well? you with Steam or Xbox game pass?

At some point Xbox prompted "do you want to use Cloud or Local saves, there is a difference" and I chose "Local" - I chose death... (perhaps picking Cloud next time will save the day)

My club was all fun and games until 10 hours in at Slag Heap.

I would like fun to continue, but not at the cost of replaying 10 hours - that is breaking the 'fun' rule.
