Anyone know where the save file is located?

Under user data in the installed directory of Steam.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\USER NUMBER\71340\remote\sonic.sav
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\USER NUMBER\71340\remote\sonic2.dat

Did you ever fix this problem? I'm having issues with this myself

Make sure you replaced the old save file with the new one. There shouldn't be two save files in the folder. I put the new save file into the folder and replaced the old one and I haven't had any issues

I'm pretty sure I replaced the old file with the new. There's only one save file in the folder and it's the new one. Triple checked and its still not working.
Here's where I'm putting the save file in if this helps at all: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\Random Numbers\71340\remote

If you have used modes, run SonicGMI.exe and press the 'Install / Uninstall' button, than
'Mod support is now deactivated' message show up. After that, save file will be working.

im having the same issue, its a bit infuriating, but if i do have too, i will recomplete the modded file, it would just be nice to make it convenient. :P if anyone finds how to fix, or help it a bit, i would be thankful.

hey everyone i found a method. if you are using sonicgmi for your mods just uncheck "Enable save file redirection" then restart sonicgmi and launch the game, it worked for me :)

I went to user data but all I found were two files one was a bunch of random numbers, and the other was called "ac"

Where do you even find "USER NUMBER\71340"? That doesn't exist in my files.

I think you're misreading it. By "USER NUMBER", he is referring to the ID number for your Steam Account.
Looking at the files now, when you go into userdata (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata), I see two folders: one is a series of numbers, the second is "ac". The series of numbers is the ID for your Steam Account, where they are keeping your valuable save data, likely so they can save it for the cloud. And I'd hope you understand why I didn't give you those numbers, as they are unique to my account, and I wouldn't want to give those away. You should be able to find it easily, unless you have multiple accounts signed in on your PC.

As for "71340", that is the ID for the game itself. You'll see IDs for every game you own, so just search carefully

Hope this helps

if anyone still has this issue i found a solution by replacing the save data into the game's local folder (the save file name in that location is "cpkredir.sav")
the 'sonic.sav' which is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\USER NUMBER\71340\remote\sonic.sav is the steam save folder which for some reason steam is not recognizing the replaced file as the current save

The solution:
rename the save file you downloaded 'sonic.sav' to "cpkredir.sav" and replace it in the game folder (where SonicGenerations.exe is located) instead.
- Hope this works for y'all
