Save Game Recovery for Dummies

0. Uitschakelen Steam Cloud voor Monster Hunter Rise (optioneel, recommended)

1. Secure your progression file which is data00*Slot.bin, either from Steam Cloud or the local storage, by copying the file to somewhere safe e.g. Desktop for most people, it is just data001Slot.bin

Local save game storage looks somewhat like this

C:\Programmabestanden (x86)\Steam\userdata\yourID\1446780\remote\win64_save\

make sure to look for your actual ID and not the template “yourID” in this example

2. Delete the folder ..\Steam\userdata\yourID\1446780 and all of its content

3. Start uw pc opnieuw op

4. Download Monster Hunter Rise PC/Steam Version 3.9.1.0 as described in the main guide in the section Restoration without data00-1.bin

5. Open your Monster Hunte Rise game’s folder

6. Move the files re_chunk_000.pak en re_chunk_000.pak.patch_001.pak to somewhere safe e.g. Desktop

6.1 Backup your album screenshots in the ScreenShots map (optioneel)

7. Delete everything else in your Monster Hunte Rise game folder

8. Copy the all the files of the downloaded game version 3.9.1.0 to your standard Monster Hunter Rise game folder

9. Launch Monster Hunter Rise normally via Stoom, while denying all of Stoom‘s attempts to update the game

10. Create with the old version of the game up to three characters with the character designs and names you desire; the successful creation is done once you have spoken with Elder Fugen and saved

ignore Buddy designs as those are going to be overwritten

11. Make a backup of the newly created save game files set consisting of data00-1.bin en de data00*Slot.bin files e.g. copy them to a folder called “MHR Save Game Restoration Basis” on Desktop

12. Overwrite the newly created save game file e.g. data001Slot.bin with the progression file you want to restore, which you secured in step 1.

13. Delete everything in your Monster Hunte Rise game folder

14. Move the original re_chunk_000.pak en re_chunk_000.pak.patch_001.pak files you have moved before in step 6. back into the Monster Hunte Rise game folder

15. Verify the game’s files so Stoom will check the file integrity and redownload missing files, bringing the game back to the latest version

16. Start uw pc opnieuw op
