Data Corrupted

[kurokori]

I lost all my progress due to data corruption. Does anyone know of a fix for this or a way to contact customer support? I've been searching for a minute now and atp I wouldn't mind restarting but I do not want to make crazy progress and then lose everything due to another data corruption. I've tried downloading an auto-save file from steam and replacing a new game save file but all it does is corrupt my data again.

had this happen once, not much you can do, but you won't loose your trials progress or shop costumes (apparently that is tracked online), but as for everyting else, well you have to regrind. I beleive steam cloud will already backup corrupted save so that also failed me too,

Assuming you are on windows, in your file explorer, type "%LocalAppData%\SAOFD\Saved\SaveGames" to go to your save file and I suggest you make backups (copy and paste somewhere) every now and then so you can just place it back if it ever happens again.

One word:

Arrgh.

That's why. Save's will not carry over.

So after my save file got corrupted I would load up the game and I could only choose "New Game". So I closed the game, grabbed an auto-save file from steam cloud and replaced them in the "%LocalAppData%\SAOFD\Saved\SaveGames". But after doing this and loading up the game again it seems to have done nothing (I still only see the "New Game" option and no "Load Game"). I assumed it was because of the corrupted data and so I tried it with the save files of my friend's just to see if it worked, same thing. So then I tried starting a new game and then going through the tutorial so that at least the "load game" option would reappear, then I would replace the save files once again with my friend's files to see if my stats and stuff would change. However, all that did was corrupt my save file again and I'm back at square one. So I'm not sure if it's because 1. I tried using a corrupted file (even though I'd assume that Steam's auto-save files wouldn't be corrupted) to replace the save files, or 2, because I used a friend's save file and not something that was originally on my computer. Have you checked to see if those backup files that you make manually are actually usable to replace either your current file or a corrupted one or are you just suggesting to do it as a lil precaution?

I remember something like this happening during the launch of granblue fantasy relink. Actually happened to me as well, and this is basically what people did just in case, made daily backups of their saves. But its interesting that backups aren't working for you. Wonder what is making the game not read them. Have you tried reinstalling the game and then trying to read your save?

I've also played Grandblue Relink and they made it fairly easy to mod and download other people's saves if wanted. I believe it's due to 2 reasons. The first being that if I recall correctly, people can have multiple save files. The second reason being I don't think there was an anti-cheat? I could definitely be wrong though it's been a min since I've played it. SAOFD as for as I know, only has 1 save file and so if it gets deleted, corrupted, or altered (from my experience), it just deletes your progress and forces you to restart, that's why I'm not sure if having backup save files would really do anything. As far as reinstalling goes I haven't tried it yet, partly because I don't see how it could fix the problem and partly because I download at 10mb/s and game is like 60 gigs.
