Save game editor?

[ErikG96]

My question is simple: has a save game editor for this game been released as of yet?
I have been checking the Witcher 3 Nexus and googled around for quite a bit, but found nothing.

Elaboration for people not familiar with the concept:
A save game editor is usually a separate program which lets the player edit a save game file. Par exmple, you can add items to your inventory, change your HP, reset bugged quests and tons of other stuff.
It's a useful tool which can be used for several different puposes.

If anyone knows of one, please give a shout in the comment section below!

Geez, I sure hope not. That's the very epitome of cheating.

No need to bother commenting if you aren't going to be helpful anyway.
It is possible to cheat using a save editor, but that doesn't mean you have to; what you use it for is up to each user.
I intent to change a quest phase for a Treasure Hunt called "Don't Play With The Gods", which has bugged - I said nothing about using it for cheating.
Besides, who cares if you can cheat?
It's not like anyone else would be affected by it, since it's a single player-only game. ^^

I'd agree with you completely however CDPR does not. They've basically said that many of the most common bugs and glitches with the game were most probably caused by players using the Debug Console and therefore not their responsibility and that they had no plans to fix such issues.

Now, I'm sure someone, somewhere, will eventually come up with a save game editor but it's unlikely. Why? Because CDPR has officially endorsed the NMM and mods on Nexus so they can free themselves from continuing work on their own REDkit. But if such a mod were to come out, CDPR would wash their hands completely from fixing any further issues with the game as they'd be able to use that same excuse for everything else that might go wrong with their game.

I get that you want to resolve that treasure hunt issue but honestly, it's only a treasure hunt and not crucial to the overal game or the main story whatsoever so hoping or seeking a "manufactured" solution would not be in anyone's best interest.

Try to load up a checkpoint save from prior to beginning that treasure hunt or just skip it and try to catch it the next playthrough. If you have no intention of ever doing another playthrough, then just skip it. A treasure hunt really isn't that big a deal, is it?

Well, I sure as hell didn't use the Debug console when my problem happened - it was a quest-breaking glitch, that made it unable to progress in the Treasure Hunt "Don't Play with the Gods"; had nothing to do with cheating or editing.

I haven't used the console command, but I have an issue where I can't use the fast travel to get to Velen. I just left the Emperor's palace and I can fast travel to White Orchard, but when I try to fast travel to Velen it just loads forever. I am hoping that maybe something like a save game editor could unlock another map travel point and I could maybe get to that one. As is, I am at the beginning of the game and am stuck with a game breaking bug.

Hm, sounds odd...
Well, in worst case I guess you'll just have to make a new save file.
I know the feeling though - game-breaking bugs and glitches are the worst; usually saves don't matter when they eff up a quest.

How does it break?

But there is no savegame editor and there will never one. Also you can't change quest phases or the quest at all.

If you want a fix send a ticket to CDPR here http://en.cdprojektred.com/contact-support/
Follow the Guideline about bugs here http://en.cdprojektred.com/support/bug-reporting-guide and send them your savegame.

Thats the only way i know how you can make a bug report. Writing here or in the official Forum does nothing and if no one else ever send the report they will never fix it.

If youn are still in the Prologue then restart the game you lose nothing.

This thread is outdated by now; I have long since started a new game, and progressed past that point and quest.
It seems there was an universal problem with that quest - I remember googling it and finding lots of others having the same problem.
It mus thave been fixed in a patch sometime, because I finisished it flawlessly on my current playthrough.

I would only use this to edit my answer about Lethos death :( Didn't know who he was back then.

Here is one save editor for The Wicher 3 http://www.saveeditonline.com/ seems like it works.

The Problem is there is no way to reset a quest. Even if ou send the savegame to CDPR they can't do it. Had a problem once, it was fix but it was still in my savegame. They coudn't do anything, i had to start from beginning or leave it as it was.

You only see Value#XYZ and the value from it. If you don't know what Valiue #2 is you can screw your whole savegame

A year late, but just saw this and thought I would put my two cents in.

Never say never. There is a save editor out there. I don't know how much it can edit, but it does exist. You can't honestly say there will never be one. If a file is saved locally on your computer, it can be opened up and edited.

Yes, CDRP officially endorsed NMM. Of course, I had to reinstall my game completely because one mod screwed up my game and even using NMM to uninstall it wouldn't fix it, so NMM isn't really foolproof.

And finally, I have played the game several times through. After I play a game a few times, I like to blow through it for fun, maybe explore and see what I might have missed. I will often "cheat" on those run throughs to go faster as while I want to see what I might have missed or so something different, I am not wanting to invest 100 hours into the new playthrough.

And personally, I don't care if anyone approves of that. It is on my computer at my house on the game I legally purchased.

Well, it's a little late but for anyone reading this in 2017 and beyond...
There is now at least one way to do this. For example it can be used if you've been a total melon like most of us and romanced both Triss and Yen, giving you the 'It Takes two to tango' quest.


Firstly you need to enable console commands. There are mods out there for this e.g https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1555/? but you don't actually need them. All you need to do is navigate to your directory which may be either:

GOG
1) C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY\bin\config\base
STEAM
2)C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY\bin\config\base

And find the configuration file General.ini. Make a back-up somewhere in case something goes wrong(it shouldn't). Open it in a text editor and add a new line at the bottom. Enter exactly as follows:

DBGConsoleOn=true

Save and exit, then launch the game.

You need to open the console once you have loaded a save game you want to edit. Supposedly this is done with the tilde key(~) which is often just to the left of the number 1 on the keyboard. However, it could be a number of other keys and for me it was actually the single apostrophe button (', same key as @ on my qwerty keyboard). You may have to mess around a bit to find what it is for you.

Using console commands you can change quite a few properties. For example to choose your romance, even if you made other decisions:

removefact(q309_triss_lover)
removefact(q309_triss_stayed)
addfact(sq202_yen_girlfriend)

Be advised, in my case it wasn't sufficient to remove the triss_lover fact, I also had to remove the triss_stayed fact. Of course, you can reserve these. Press enter with all commands given.
If you can work out the commands it should be possible to change a range of other facts.

Also, you can investigate whether the code numbers above, i.e 309 and 202 equate to the values you want to change at http://www.saveeditonline.com. You could find the Value number and change it from 1 to 2 and see what happens (not tried myself).

I'm a little late but I think you can help me, I want to finish the game with yen but I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Triss. Using the command you quoted '' removefact (q309_triss_lover)
removefact (q309_triss_stayed) '' how do I know if it worked?

It does. I just finished the main game after switching multiple times. It works perfectly. You can even get romance scenes with both of them (not together) at different times and not get caught for "cheating".

This method can be used for MANY things in TW3 using the fact commands (like fixing decisions and broken quest). This link is a txt file with all of the facts. I do not take credit for finding this, I got the link from another forum.
