How to repair your corrupted save file.

If when you start your game you come face to face with an error message informing you that your save game has been corrupted, this guide is for you.

Context: you receive this not very welcoming message ...

*Translation: Watch out! Save data is corrupted. You must create new data to continue.
Create a new save and overwrite the current data?

This message can appear after the crash of the game, (In my case it was a crash of D3D12 therefore of Direct X 12 apparently), or then for another reason.

If this happens for a reason other than mine, you can let them know in the comments please.

How to solve the problem: The procedure

At first, you will refuse the proposal to create new data, you want to keep it.
And just close your game.

Now you will go to the properties of your game and uncheck the box to activate Steam Cloud, so that steam does not overwrite your save during the test procedure.


Now in the Local Files section, run a file check, it seems stupid but it can solve most problems (Without necessarily having to reinstall the game, some do not have an ultra fast connection)



After that, go to your local files to find your save, here

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[YOUR STEAM ID]\1364780\remote\win64_save

If you don't know what your Steam ID is, you can organize the folders according to the modification date, the most recent will probably be yours.

In this folder you will find 3 files, you will copy and paste them in a place to make a backup (As a precaution)


Now simply restart your PC and launch your game.

If that didn't solve your problem, try deleting the 3 files from your game's save folder, in order to create new ones.

If after that your game works again, it means that your saves are really corrupted. (Sorry).

To avoid having to redo the start of the World Tour, I share my save with you, of course it is not mandatory: Download[cdn.discordapp.com] (Lvl 100, 15% World Tour)
Attention: The evolution of the character has been accelerated I prefer to warn you, it will not suit everyone, I apologize in advance, on the other hand if other people agree to share their save it is with pleasure.

After that you can enable Steam Cloud backup.

Informations.

Another solution, if you played Street Fighter 6 on another pc with Steam Cloud activated, you can recover the local save and transfer it to the other pc. (That was my solution.)

The guides are now finished, it was very simple but it's always good to warn.
However, I hope it has been useful to you.
(Yes we don't really repair the save file but it's more understandable as a title 😅)

If I ever learn anything new to fix corrupt saves, I'll update the guide.

Also if you have any additional information, please share it.

Thank you and good game to all !
