save file

[EbinLambe]

trying to make a new save file but nothing is working. does anyone know a solution?

1. Right click on said game, then click Properties.
2. Click on the UPDATES tab, then click the box under Steam Cloud so there is no checkmark in it.
3. Go to Steam install folder\userdata\XXXXXXXX\991560\remote
4. Delete the file called OPMSaveData
5. Start the game up, it will say corrupt save data do you want to delete it, select yes.
6. While the game is running you can turn on Steam Cloud again and enjoy creating your new Hero.

Thanks to Stumpy for a fix to corrupt data that happens afterwards after restarting and play through a new character, and saving.

yo i think i found a fix for that constant corrupted data loop. just go into settings -> downloads then hit clear download cache. it worked for me, i don't see why it won't work for you
edit: could also be talking out my ♥♥♥ since turning off cloud sync in the settings might also contribute to that factor and not the cache.
either way i got it to work again

Hopefully the OP will pin this stuff for people.

okay thank you

Thanks Lone for the tips

I was wondering how to do this myself so I just dug around using similar things I have seen used for other games.

I tried this, but now every time i save and quit and try to reload, it tells me my save is corrupted--even after starting new games and whatnot.

[Stumpy]

yeah, no. it works but it also doesn't work, it permanently corrupts your save file

[DMW45]

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Same problem, here

Same. Why is it so taboo for the devs to allow us to restart our character, and why do we only need one? I've never seen a game behave like this where everything is seemingly married to the story mode of a custom character rather than the main menu.

Now, even when I agree to delete the corrupted data, make a new character, and exit, it still says it's corrupted when I attempt to continue! I kept a backup of my OPMSaveData to my desktop, just in case.

[Ale_96]

I wrote to the developers. I hope they respond to my request

Welp, I've purged everything associated with this game from my hard drive to start back at square one, including both the installation and userdata, yet it still keeps saying my save data is corrupt, so I must be missing another file.

I noticed a folder called EasyAntiCheat (that's OPM's anti-cheat software) gets created in Appdata\Roaming, and EasyAntiCheat in Program Files (x86), but that's all I could find.

One thing I discovered is I did not get the corruption message the first time I ran the game in offline mode. Every time thereafter, I received the corruption message, even when offline. Regardless, the fact this is happening at all offline tells me it's not the Bandai Namco server kicking us out, nor is their server trying to match our save file with data on their end. It's all local.

I have a bad feeling some people will be in for a rude awakening in the morning when they can't load their save file.

bendy dumb co probably shoudla seen this coming (maybe not considering we were dumb enough to delete important files and the like), and like one of their other games should have probably added the option to choose new game and/or multiple character slots. kinda like one of their other games: dragon ball xenoverse 2 as an example. but no, we gotta trudge through the game and get the option to change gender after we beat the game, but who has that kind of attention span or time?

[onejerky_aye]

I found the solution..
Delete Folder 991560..and then play as usual, checklist Steam Cloud If you want to Cloud save, you good to go

Its kinda strange, their other game ( Jump Force ) had new save more than 1 slot

[EbinLambe]

jump force had multiple character creation slots but still kept the same save

This is just bad UX & UI... That you can't even select language and options until you get in game? That is a lazy PC port move and it is frustrating. Thanks for this post. Now I know what is going on and was able to select the Japanese language track want to restart despite hitting level 15 already....
