Stupid question

[redskeletons]

So, I uninstalled GTA V Legacy, since I was installing Enhanced. But now I have no saved game. Does Enhanced not pull your Legacy game save?

[psykoteky]

No. They want you to upload it through legacy, not even cloudsaves, and then back down. That is exactly the basic idea of what I was expecting - and it didn't do it. After that, I just manually moved my saves. I haven't had any problems. Others say the game is acting weird (not seeing it - and it had an update today), or are concerned about achievements (I'm not - if you are, do more research, or migrate 'properly'). Ridiculous that they potentially expected people to redownload 100+gb to move some 500kb files.

If you do it manually... it is
my docs / rockstar games / gta v / profiles / profilename / sgta files ---- copy over to
my docs / rockstar games / gtav enhanced / profiles / profilename

/goodluck


edit/below - Only really need the sgta files. Cloudsavedata.dat should just be generated the first time you start the game and it asks you if you want to use cloudsaves or local. I only did the sgta's. Of course, there are other files there you can copy - I haven't tried any of those so... /goodluck

This is confirmed working for me, for anyone Googling or searching this discussion forum.

I was wondering about this too, uninstalled a while back and was wondering if I'd have to jump through hoops if I decided to hop on enhanced at some point.

This worked for me, but only unlocked like 5 or 6 achievements.

Do you have to copy the cloudsavedata.dat file as well??
