how to roll back to a save in case you messed up

[LIGHTBYTES]

tldr: copy the hourly backupfiles from the steam game directory into the save folder to roll back

Hey if like me you unknowingly killed a boss and locked yourself out of a certain item or quest line here is a way you can possibly row back
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\b1\Saved
there are to folders
\SaveGames
\SaveGamesBackup\
so under \SaveGamesBackup\ you will also find
\02HourlyBackup\ with a number of hourly timestamped folders.
So go into \02HourlyBackup\ and then open a folder with the closest timestamp you wish to restore to, then
copy the three files in that folder
ArchiveSaveFile.1.sav
ShareArchiveSaveFile.sav
UserSettingSaveGame.sav
and paste them into the folder inside \SaveGames\xxxxx

e.g C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\b1\Saved\SaveGames\xxxxxx\

you will get a promt to overwrite say yes
load up your game and it will start ( within hour ) of what you need. note there is also a daily backup folder in there if needed.

hope helps

Question, I have four files...? ArchiveSaveFile.1.sav and ArchiveSaveFile.2.sav
ShareArchiveSaveFile.sav UserSettingSaveGame.sav. What to do then? Do I copy all four over? The SaveGame folder also has four files. Thanks!

Copy all of them, as long as they belong to one folder of the same date and time
