I seem to have found myself soft locked, I know there is a way to fix it but I'm far to stupid to understand how to. Please help. (I'm at Where Doom Fell)

zinc axle Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

I don't know how to fix this, but I might have a save with the same amount of progress that you have in your game

#

What missions have you completed

#

?

#

zinc axle What missions have you completed

All, I have done everything. Thats why I'm so stressed about losing this save file.

zinc axle Dec 24, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

I think i have a 100% save

#

I can check later

#

I know that i have a save that has everything except the upgrades

zinc axle Dec 24, 2024, 3:53 PM

#

Alright i have the save

#

I can send it to you now

unreal grove Dec 24, 2024, 7:40 PM

#

ok

zinc axle Dec 24, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

there you go

📎 Save_100.rar

#

you have to go to appdata and locallow

#

there should be 2 laika aged through blood folders

#

one with the player logs

#

and the other one with the saves

unreal grove Dec 24, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

Ok, I’ll try

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:20 AM

#

did it work?

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:30 AM

#

zinc axle did it work?

I dont know, cause I have no idea how to do it (and I'm terrible at understanding instructions) but thats fine, I have a compremise. I'll just replay the game on a different file and reget to where I was before

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:30 AM

#

are you sure?

#

it's very easy

#

You just have to use the file explorer

#

I can guide you step by step here if you want

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:31 AM

#

That would be very helpful

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:32 AM

#

Alright

#

can you do it now?

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

Can you type out the guide?

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

alright

#

might take a bit

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

ok, thats fine

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

so first you open the file explorer

#

and go your main disc

#

like this

#

you click on users

#

your username

#

actually no

#

sorry

#

ignore what i said earlier

#

you have to press the windows key + R

#

and a window will open

#

you have to paste this: %appdata%

#

then a folder should open

#

you open the LocalLow folder that's inside Appdata

#

And search for a file named brainwash gang

#

There should be 2 laika aged through blood folders

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:38 AM

#

I dont see a file that says "LocalLow"

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:38 AM

#

what folders can you see

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:38 AM

#

zinc axle what folders can you see

Wdym? I see a lot of files

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:39 AM

#

in what folder are you

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:39 AM

#

LocalAppData

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:39 AM

#

I only have Appdata

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:40 AM

#

This right

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:40 AM

#

Go back to Appdata

#

and see if there is a folder named LocalLow

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:40 AM

#

I found it

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:40 AM

#

Alright

#

Find the brainwash gang folder

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:41 AM

#

I did that

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:41 AM

#

Are there 2 laika aged through blood folders there?

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:41 AM

#

yeah, one has an underscore the other just has a space

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

alright

#

Did you download the file i sent earlier?

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

yeah

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

alright

#

extract it

#

the contents of the file i sent should look like this

#

You have to go to the Laika folder WITHOUT the underscore and replace the player.log and the player-prev.log with the ones in the file i sent

#

done?

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

yeah

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

Ok

#

now go to the laika folder with the underscore

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

Should it look like this

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:47 AM

#

um

#

you don't have to put the folder there

#

You have to put the Player-prev and player documents that are INSIDE the save i sent to you in that folder

#

it should ask you if you want to replace them

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:48 AM

#

oh ok

#

I did that

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

alright

#

don't leave the folder there

#

put it anywhere else

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

I did

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

Now go to the other laika folder

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:50 AM

#

k

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:50 AM

#

enter the saves folder

#

and there should be a few files there

#

you have to put these files from the folder i sent you in the saves folder

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:52 AM

#

I did that

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:52 AM

#

alright

#

screenshot?

#

just in case

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

I selected all the files and clicked "replace files in destination" (cause I assume that replaces them)

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

yup

#

all good

#

i hope

#

boot up the game

#

should be in the first save slot

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

yup

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 4:57 AM

#

if all goes well you should appear next to the hectic's cave in where iron caresses the sky

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

I think I messed something up :/

#

Hold up lemme retry it

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 5:03 AM

#

um alright

unreal grove Dec 25, 2024, 5:06 AM

#

erf, its not working

zinc axle Dec 25, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

Maybe re do the other steps?

#

install the file again and try again

#

did you get try to get into the save in the game

#

it updates when you play it

lucid plank Dec 28, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

I typically only replace the save_0.lk file tbh, the playtime might not be accurate and such but it works

zinc axle Dec 30, 2024, 1:11 AM

#

Honestly i have no idea how transfering save files work

#

I just send people all of the stuff in my folder

#

And pray it works

#

It's like 50/50

lucid plank Dec 31, 2024, 10:17 PM

#

zinc axle Honestly i have no idea how transfering save files work

fair, all that's needed is the file containing the data being in there and being called "save_0.lk" (or 1/2 for the other slots) for the game to read it, I have a separate folder with all my speedrun practice files and I have them renamed to whatever the file is for (like diplomacy for a file that is at diplomacy) and then once I want to use them I just change the name and chuck it in to replace the previous save file, not having the meta data makes the playtime incorrect and such because it will just keep tracking time from the previous save (which might honestly be preferable if we're replacing a save)

#

It's also just a lot easier to deal with just one file

zinc axle Dec 31, 2024, 10:19 PM

#

Mh, so i don't need to send the other files then

#

Sometimes it goes wrong and i don't know if it was my fault or the one who got the file messed up
