Thanks to everyone who offers solutions to problems related to the transfer of saves, I had no idea that a simple replacement would not be enough, everything would be bad without you!thank you
I have the game illegally but when I try to transfer the game to mine, it won't let me, because it tells me that there was an error and that it can't load my game.
Hi, can anyone help me? I can't save my game. I always return to the first mission after closing the game. I tried this custom savegame and others, but the problem persists. Is there any solution?
I had ran into a similar issue years ago, and I'm not sure it's entirely applicable to your case, but check your Windows Defender settings. There, if it's turned on, turn off Controlled Folder Access. It tends to "protect" the Appdata folder, which a lot of games use for storing saves and setting, and just doesn't allow them to make new files there. The result is pretty much what you just described, so it was the first thing that came to mind.
Here's how to make the save work in any cracked version of the game.
You need Cheat Engine btw.
[Edit]: Backup start_protected_game.exe and put it somewhere else. Then make a copy of the armoredcore6.exe and rename it to start_protected_game.exe. And then start the game and make the game save before trying these steps. You'll have to put the original start_protected_game.exe back in to the game directory if you're on the legit version.
[Edit2]: Seems like this method only works on cracked copies.
1.Make sure you already have a save in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\ArmoredCore6\xxxx... The "xxxx..." is a 17 digits number and copy that number somewhere because you'll need it later.
2.Boot up the game and press any button to go to the main menu and STOP. Now don't close the game and go back to your desktop
3.Go back to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\ArmoredCore6\xxxx... and then replace the save file(AC60000.sl2).
4.Open cheat engine, select the Armored Core process, set the value type to 8 bytes and copy your "xxxx..." 17 digits number to the value tab and hit first scan. You should see about more than a dozen of results.
5.Select all those results and add all of them to the addresslist down below. And then change their value to 76561197960270388. Do not toggle the active box.
6.Now go back to the game and hit CONTINUE, you should be able to load the save.
7.Go back to cheat engine once again, and change the values that are still 76561197960270388 to your 17 digits number. Some of them might change to 0 or something else, ignore those addresses.
8.Go to the game now tinker with the setting to let the game auto save. Or just go back to main menu. The save should now be yours.
Tried this, when I searched my Steam ID I only got 2-3 results, swapped it anyway, hit continue, game said the save was corrupt
EDIT: Yep, same issue. Change the protected EXE as stated Launch the game, create a brand new save. Have tried both restarting before replacing and not.
So 1. Open Game 2. Replace the save while at main menu 3. Open and Search ID in CE with 8 bytes ( only like 1-3 things pop up for me) 4. Replace with new ID from the save (76561197960270388) 5. Click Continue. Game says save is corrupt.
Thanks for trying to assist though, much appreciated.
Delete or rename or find some random exe to replace your start_protected_game.exe (make a back up copy first of course) before these steps and go in to the game and make a new game save under this condition then try these steps again.
It worked for me but after every mission the game crashes and when i start back luckily it had already saved my previous mission. But it still keeps crashing after every mission help🥲
Not sure if this is the best place to ask this, and I apologise if it's a problem, but would anyone be able to upload a save file from chapter 2 at all?
My game crashes at the end of chapter 1, during the boss fight and I haven't been able to find a fix as yet. Rather than waiting however long for a patch to be released, I thought it might be better just to skip the bug entirely and continue the game from chapter 2. I've tried this 100% complete save and whilst I appreciate the effort, it's not much fun replaying each mission in order as it would be progressing through myself.
Thank you so much! They released a patch today which I hoped would fix the issue, but no dice unfortunately. I'd almost given up hope of being able to play through the game *sort of* normally, so I appreciate the effort you went to with this!
Hey I'm a little confused on how to set this up. I'm super new to using mods and relatively new to pc in general. I unzipped the downloaded file and put it in the game folder but once the game booted up i wasn't able to find any ng++++ file. Am I doing something wrong? :[
I have to say thank you , I got to new game ++++ but I noticed that my dumbass sold some of the weapons you get from the bosses so thanks to this save I got them back and then some

Legit version btw. Seems like this fix only works for non legit versions.

maybe try it offline then, as a solution
just a idea
If its not working go thru the instructions again.
