For anyone who experienced their save file getting deleted/corrupted i found a fix that may work.
Causes:
- Update that may have corrupted save file
- The game itself (lol)
This could happen randomly again in the future.
Solution: Replace the current save file that is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\534380\remote\out\save.
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\534380\remote\out\save (you may see a set of files with random big numbers instead of 534380, click through those files till you see a file named “534380”) Hopefully you should see 2 files. One is named “save_main_0.sav” and the other is named “save_main_0_chp(whatever number you see here).sbk”
Once you locate these files you are going to want to back them up in a separate folder.
Now in the save folder, that’s in the 534380, you’re going to want to get rid of the file named “save_main_0.sav” and rename the file “save_main_0_chp(whatever the numbers are for you).sbk” to “save_main_0.sav”
It’s important that you change the file type to a .sav it should already change the file type when you rename the file. When you do change the file type through renaming it. it may give you a warning about corrupting or ruining the file. This won’t since dying light 2s saves are based on both .sav files and .sbk files.
When you load back into dying light 2, and click continue you should see your old save file.
Tips:
- Your main save file (may be an sbk or sav but most likely sbk file) will most likely be the bigger-sized files.
- Double-check that you did indeed back up these folders manually in a different folder.
