WORKS WITH THE DLC It appears they didn't mess with the save file size or format with the release of Shadow of the Erdtree.
TUTORIAL Youtuber TroubleChute has created an excellent tutorial how to use this program to manage your saves and import other peoples characters. The video can be found here and is also linked on the videos tab of this page.
SEAMLESS CO-OP & ELDEN RING REFORGED SAVES The program can load .co2 & .err files. In the open dialog box for the Game File section of the program... change the filter at the bottom right of the dialog box from Elden Ring Save File (*.sl2) to Elden Ring Coop Save File (*.co2) or Elden Ring Reforged Save File (*.err)
If you want to trade saves, use the archive files: If you are trading a single character it would be only 2.5MB instead of the nearly 30MB elden ring save. If you put that archive in a zip file it would be like 200KB!!!
I didn't add a "Save As" feature for the main game saves section because there's no point in having multiple save files with this tool.
Launching by double clicking save files: The Program can accept an Elden Ring save as a command line option. This lets you set the program as the default handler for Elden Ring saves and open them anywhere by double clicking on them.
How-To: To assign the program to handle Elden Ring saves, right-click on an elden ring save and pick "Open With". Then navigate to where you put the EldenRingCharacterMager.exe file (hopefully in your game save folder), and select the mode as "Always". Once done, you can open downloaded saves you put on your desktop by just double clicking on them. <-- *High Five*
I did everything in the video, but when I enter the game, the game loading part does not appear as if there is no save file. only the new game option appears.
Well, im new to this webiste and dont know much, but i do know that VirusTotal and my microsoft deffender told me not to open so i didnt (specifcly Trojan), i would like to duplicate my save but i really dont want to risk.
Had a save file corrupted error and my friend suggested this mod to me. I made a backup of my save, copied characters and saved them on the left. I deleted the save, started the game, and closed it, generating a new save file. Then I copied the characters over and when I try to load any of the characters the game closes immediately. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Don't know. My guess is yes. Just dont mix characters from different games into the same save file (Vanilla, Seamless Co-op, Reforged, Convergence etc. etc.).
