I did... thats why I asking if other people could also try it that have nothing to lose.. just dont move your orginal save file .... I want to know if the results are the same as mine

I tried it and I think I got the same result

curreupted eh?

ok I look into check the GFWL .bin file and the steam .bin file in a hexeditor to see if I can manual do a mirgation...

opening the .bin in a notepad ect just gives out garbage

But if you do that, you may not get your stats or achievs - will you?

I suggest holding a backup.

posisble.. I more intrested in the save file data not about the usless achevements

save file won't work because its does not match re5 gold save because of all the dlc and whatever else. you're better off just starting from scratch. beat the game on easy and then max out a weapon of your choice and then you can blast your way through all the harder difficulties.

As long as you're not playing alone, of course.

or I can wait for the mirgation tool. The steam version is NOT gold unless you get the gold dlc.. I havn;t bothered with the dlc ect.

I did this trick with Batman AA, copied save file, used hex editor to delete few bytes of GFWL specific header, after which rest of game save data was fine for new version of game.

Please google for Batman Arkham Asylum Live to Steam save hex edit or something like this, this way it could possibly work for RE5, but i think it will be only save file anyway, no achivements, no stats taht stored in GFWL storage outsite of game save file. So it would be only half of migration.

thats better then having to restart over when u already have max ever thing.. Getting achevements and stuff would be consider the easy part then if one cared enough

In such case if save includes something like flags "achievement n1 - done" and if game has not retroactive checking for such flags, you may not be able to achieve this again, but im not sure if that a case for RE5, just saw many games with real-time achivements that does not store or check any flags after achivement was taken once.
