Having Trouble Exporting Save Data from DEATH STRANDING over to DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT, below is a step-by-step guide:

Before you start exporting your files, please ensure you have downloaded DEATH STRANDING’s 1.07 patch.

Important: We recommend that you do not delete your base game install until you have successfully imported the converted save into DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT.

To export your save data, please follow the instructions below:

* Launch DEATH STRANDING version 1.07 or later on your PC with internet connection.
* Select “Load Game” on the title screen of DEATH STRANDING and start the game from the save data you wish to export to DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT.
* Open Cuff Links in front of a Delivery Terminal in a facility
* Select “SYSTEM” → “Export Save Data” (*1)
* Details about exporting saved data will be displayed. Check the information and select “OK”.
* At this point, saved data of the running DEATH STRANDING will be exported and saved to the local storage.
* Launch DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT on your PC. (*2)
* Select “Load Game (Death Stranding Save Data)” on the title screen of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT
* You now can play the game from DEATH STRANDING saved data stored in local storage. Also, immediately after the game starts, a new save data of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT will be created.

(*1) In order to select “Export Save Data” on Cuff Links in DEATH STRANDING, the following conditions must be met.
・Open Cuff Links in front of a Delivery Terminal in a facility.
・Any “Orders for Sam” MUST NOT be in progress. If you have “Orders for Sam” which are in progress, please complete them all before selecting “Export Save Data”.

(*2) To load save data which was exported from DEATH STRANDING, you need to launch DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT with the same account used to export DEATH STRANDING save data.

I played this game through steam game share and now lost contact and no longer have access. However, I have access to my steam cloud saves on the cloud and can see every single save I've made. Is there a way I can put this through?

[Myztc]

Nevermind, I took my original cloud save data and renamed it all to checkpoint.dat and plugged it into each and every folder.

If you have already uninstalled DS and did not export a save file to prepare for DSDC, here is how you access your prior saved games without reinstalling anything.

Copy all the Save folders with checkpoint.dat data out of C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\KojimaProductions\DeathStranding\[number]

Paste them into the following directory and overwrite the empty save folders
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\KojimaProductions\DeathStrandingDC\[same number]

Then open DSDC and do not try to import save, just do a normal load saved game and all your prior saves should be there. Just load your most recent one and it will upgrade whatever it needs to when it opens the file.

Rip didn't know this was a thing and formatted C: and game drive due to building a new PC. Guess i'm starting over. At least it's been a couple years since I finished the original game.

this works, but it doesnt carry over achievements

I got an error when I tired
Something about it needing to be on the same account (I played the original on Game Pass not Steam)

yeah... you can't just transfer between completely different provier platforms because the way windows store and gamepass works are massively different to steam

To be fair for most games it would actually work it's just save data, hell most games use the same save location and format (My Doccuments or AppData) regardless of storefront

But after playing the DC for a bit I noticed things like the valve you get as a mission reward for returning a companion cube which would explain a lack of compatibility although I don't recall ever seeing a MS equivalent in the original game, however as this is a same account requirement I think this is more aimed at stopping people from uploading other people's save data

[.:k1z4cz3k:.]

I used GeForce Now for this save data transfer and it worked :>
My internet connection is really slow but it's enough to run GFNow in 720p so i could upload saves to cloud in DS lmao

Don't directly copy the old save to DC. I did that and the game somehow worked but I wasn't able to unlock the catapult and the buddy bot.

In DC you normally unlock the catapult in chapter 5, and after that you get a quest where you can unlock the buddy bot. If you manually import an endgame save from the original game by copy paste the unlock will never trigger.

And besides that all your online co-op players in your old save will be shown as "unknown" in DC.

I still don't get what the catapult is for. it would neet to have easily 2.5 or 4 times the range to actually be usefull....

Well i accidently deleted my main character on it because your cloud gave me the choice to pick server or local instead of just giving me the update where my progression was longest ..

I dont play it through steam though ..

It would be nice if the game could get a better multiplayer, so that you can meet up with other players, get them with you on the mission and do harder stuff, maybe raid Mule´s bases and stuff like that together ..

Im kinda the Security guy that love to fight, i took down the whole mule base and stole their truck for my ware´s .. i just wish that i could have kept it and repair it .. oh well

Constantly getting an error popup that says data cannot be saved after I load the exported data from the original game version
