[SOLVED] My save is gone

[Voxy]

So, like the title says my save has completely disappeared. I was almost defeating King Dice, and for some unknown reason my pc restarted and when I opened the game again, my save disappeared.
Is there any way to recover?

If you could wait until like 6 p.m. Pacific Time, I could recreate your save file then, but in the mean time, maybe someone else could recreate your save file, or maybe you'll be able to reach King Dice again through normal gameplay.

Normally the only way to prevent save file loss is to periodically back up your saves since Steam Cloud doesn't give the cloud contradiction message when it should.

Thank you for replying.

How are you going to recreate my save? Just curious. Sorry if this is a stupid question lol
I really don't want to play the whole game again, I suffered so much on green dragon...

Save file location:
(C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME HERE\AppData\Roaming\Cuphead)
cuphead_player_datav1_slot_0.sav = File 1
cuphead_player_datav1_slot_1.sav = File 2
cuphead_player_datav1_slot_2.sav = File 3

There should be 3 .sav files in there, even if the save files have been reset to "New." If you want to view the data inside of the save file, you can open the .sav with a text editor, like Notepad. All of the data inside the save file can be manipulated to change which stages you've completed, what coins you've collected, what weapons/supers/charms you own, etc. I'll post a Dropbox link to a .sav file, you download it, and then you completely replace your old .sav file with the new one. It's that easy. (If you're still confused, let me know.)

Going off of your Steam profile achievements, I can assume the following things occurred in your save file.
- You did not collect all of the coins in Run and Gun stages.
- You did not achieve all A-ranks for any particular world.
- You did achieve at least 5 parries in a row.

So here's what I'm going to do. If you want any of these variables to be changed, let me know.
- World 1, World 2, and World 3 will be completed with sub-optimal scores and times. (C-, C+, 2:01).
- Your number of deaths will be 0.
- Your highest number of parries in a row will be 5.
- The King Dice Simple difficulty message was not ever activated.
- You helped the Barbershop Quartet find their fourth member.

Here's what I want to know, the coins that you've collected.
- Did you get the Tutorial coin?
- Did you talk to the Apple in World 1?
- Did you help Gingerbread Girl in World 2?
- Did you talk to the Juggler in World 2 after achieving 4 parries in a row?
- What coins did you collect from Run and Guns?
- Did you collect any hidden coins?

If you can't remember an exact number, that's fine, I could just do something like you collected all of coins in the Run and Guns in World 1 and World 2, or something. This is mostly for you since you're limited to what you can buy from Porkrind's.

I understand, thanks for explain to me.

You're right.

I am okay with that, don't need to change any of these variables.

I'm sorry but I don't remember the exactly coins I have collected so far, but I'll appreciate if you do like I collected every coin in the Run and Guns.

[Soleil]

That's kind of bad since you didn't actually collect all of the Run and Gun coins and it's related to an achievement, but okay. The only coins that you collected were related to Run and Guns, leaving you with 30 coins.

Here's the Dropbox link.

Thank you so much!

[LOOKISS!]

I have the same problem, can someone help?

[Soleil]

I'm not able to recreate for you a custom save file, but you can download one of these save files if you would like to.

I was at the end of the King Dice fight and the game stopped taking input, then all my other windows and processes went unresponsive. I force restarted my pc and low and behold I come back to absolutely no save. I check the steam cloud save, of course it backed up the stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ blank save. What a useless system.
