I Don't Suppose There's a Way to Get Your Switch Save...

[Lpaladin]

I don't suppose anyone is aware of a way to get your save file off of a Switch if you own the game there and pick up on the PC where you left off?

You'd need a modded Switch.

The bigger question of if it'll work or not. Given it's UE4 it's possible, though since the files themselves will have differences (acheivement tracking and stuff) it might not. I forget if I've ever heard of anyone able to do it for Octopath, but I DO know you can edit save files in the same exactly way on both (i.e. the hex locations are the same).

So I tried an emulator save, and the game reads it fine -- showing it on the load screen and the progress made. But the game crashes. It's very possible it could be converted to work but would likely require someone with actual programming knowledge.

It's possible on Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default II by simply renaming the files to the PC names and extensions but as Melodia mentioned above me, despite the save files showing up on the load screen, it sadly crashes when loading on this game.

It's weird since it's the same engine and all, hopefully someone will figure it out at some point!

It's nice to get a confirmation on this, I've seen it asked before and was never sure.

I highly doubt even Artdink would care to do this tbh, do make a update for saves from Jail-braked Switch's or Switch Emulation.

Has anyone found a working solution or still trying to?

Anyone figured out a way to do this?

I'm in the same train. Having like 145 hours of gameplay in the switch version.
Can't transfer the files to the pc version.
Did anyone figure this out?
