Is there a way to recover a save from coop ?

[cftc60480]

(I'm French so sorry for bad english)


The situation :

I have 2 saves, save 1 on witch I play mainly with my friends, and save 2 were I do some testing sometimes.
Few hours ago, I was testing things in my save 2, but I saved the game in my save 1 location (therefore my save 1 as completely vanished, "re-written" by my party on save 2)

So here is my question : Is there a way to recover my original save 1 ?

I haven't played CoOp yet so my multiplayer folder is still empty .. but for important saves you could make a backUp copy before you overWrite to same save slot.

I'd think the files for multiplayer SaveGames would be found here.

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\LocalLow\SKS\TheForest\76561198053353786\MultiPlayer

Once you save AGAIN to slot 1, the old save would be lost forever unless you made a backUp copy to a ThumbDrive or other favorite storage-Archive area on your hard drives.

Oh wait.. Possibly you CAN get it back.

In the above mentioned path there are two saves stored per SaveSlot. The files are named


__RESUME__
__RESUME__prev

If you could load up __RESUME__prev that might be what your trying to do.

I don't see an InGame option to toggle between the two choices, so you might have to ReName (in your OS) the file to "_Resume_" noQuote marks.

-Sorry this answere is 4 days late now, but good info to know for the future.

In fact, I have found an answer since then. You have to rename the _RESUME_prev into just _RESUME_ and then delete the original _RESUME_
When you load up the game after that, everything is alright exept for the other player-s- that doesn't have their stuff anymore

In any case, thanks a lot for the answer :)

adding this just in case:
(I didn't notice you necroed lol)


you can get back other players items tho
the other players stuff is saved on their PC

saves are in
MultiPlayer/cs/

the saves are named by ID of server, tell your friend to give you ID of your previous save and then you go to your files and change ID in "guid" file into the old ID
game will load their eq properly then


^ that's the fix in situation where someone played on the server after getting the old one back

for people who didn't play yet:
in "guidprev" you can find old ID, just rename it to "guid", just like you did with RESUME_Prev

Multiplayer games are saved in folder ...\Multiplayer and Singleplayer games are saved in folder ...\Singleplayer. You cant overwrite your multiplayer savegame in single player mode.
But if you do anything wrong with your savegames "__RESUME__prev" and backups are your friends.

"%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z.exe" u -x!desktop.ini -r -spf -m1=lzma2 -t7z "%HOMEPATH%\Desktop\ForestBackup-%DATE%.7z" "%LOCALAPPDATA%Low\SKS\*"

You can also copy your singleplayer save files to a multiplayer slot but you must destroy all logsleds in the single player game first. After loading the game you have to go back to the airplane if you want to share stuff with other people.

Most time, when i play alone i do that in a multiplayer session.
Distribute in multiplayer: If you enter a cave, the canibals and mutants are not reseted.
