Help with how to read only farm

[Zeoplez]

So I'd like to try read only farming. I tried to do it once a while ago but it didnt work and just gave up. If anyone could link me to a guide or guide me through it themselves it'd be much appreciated.

If youur saves are set to read-only the game can't overwrite them, you need to force a reload from the main menu though, 'cause your progress to this point is stored in RAM.

Make sure to click select character, click whatever read only character, and then continue.

I consider read-only to be a complete waste of time.

If you're gonna cheat, you might as well use the editor to change prefix/gun parts.

I don't care about perfect parts but I do care about matching elements.

With the exception of Snipers, non-elemental variants of agun are 10x more frequent than elemental variants.

Yeah, read-only/Alt+F4 farming isn't 100% legit but far from getting a "perfect" variant.

I don't know about you but resetting UVHM a bazillion of times to get multiple elemental variants of a single gun is just too much of a pita and much more a waste of time to me.

So the game has saved after you turned in the quest already? You can't undo that.

I think I know what is happening. When you leave the game and rejoin, you are clicking on the "Continue" button. I did this too, and it didn't work. What you need to do is when you leave the game, you have to click on "Select character", then select the character you are doing the trick with, select the difficulty, and then enter the game. It will work.

is there any reason for why we have to do this while others guys dont or is it just something with each account

Sort by date modified to get the most recent save to read only, but don't do the profile or the .bak files.

If i remember correctly the game do 2 different save for your caracter ... the normal save AND some kind of temp save ... and I m pretty sure that when you click on Continue the game uses the temp save and NOT the normal save... that s the reason why you have to do the little trick explained by Freshy

No, when you save and quit to the main menu, the game is still running, your character is still selected and still in memory. Selecting it again forces it to load from the save file and not just use what is already in memory.
