#Elden Ring Corrupt Save Data (Using 4 Mods)
warm raft
I had the following mods installed:
Seamless Co-op
I then proceeded to install the following 3 mods using the mod merger
- Easy Respec for DLC(1.12.X)
- Detailed Item Descriptions
- Map for Goblins
The first two mods appeared to work fine, but Map for Goblins didn't seem to work at all. I could be crazy, but I feel like despite it not working opening the world map became quite laggy. As such, I decided to remove Map for Goblins and re-merge. Upon doing so, however, I get an error upon loading saying my save data is corrupt. Restoring my mods folder to a backup that still has Map for Goblins merged in makes this error go away.
I can continue to play with the laggy world map, but obviously if there's an easy fix to this I'd love to know. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

corrupted save data generally means the regbin version does not match the game version, what did you use to merge the mods exactly?

Elden Ring Mods Manager - Merger
violet kite
yeah I don't think that's been updated in a while
most likely generates outdated regbins
warm raft
Someone made a fork of it that was supposed to be working, hmm
violet kite
you should use smithbox
warm raft
I'd assume that has a bit of a learning curve to it?

basically make a project for each mod, export modified params from the mods (preferably from the less complex ones with fewer changes) and import into the "main" project (preferably the most complex mod)
warm raft
So essentially just making one big mod out of other smaller mods, got it
violet kite
yeah
warm raft
With that could I potentially have both new grace dialogue options show up? Because the issue seems to be that the respec mod and the map mod both add a dialogue option to the grace, but they overwrite each other so only one of them shows up
violet kite
but that's only regbin merging, there may be more stuff to merge depending on the what the mods change
violet kite
With that could I potentially have both new grace dialogue options show up? Beca...
yeah that's esd merging, more advanced
warm raft
ah gotcha
violet kite
you basically need to combine the changes to the esd code
not exactly the most beginner friendly stuff
warm raft
well I actually just found a "fix" that I'll find acceptable for myself. The main issue for me wasn't that map for goblins didn't work, it's that it both didn't work and made the vanilla map very laggy still. Looks like someone posted a modified map for goblins regbin with a ton of icons deleted and using that one with map for goblins makes my save work and map is no longer laggy
violet kite
detailed item descriptions would be text merging, you can do that with the text editor in smithbox
that is if the other mods modify text at all, if not then no need
well if you found a solution that can bypass merging mods that's definitely the best way lol
it can be a real pain
warm raft
Hm i wonder if I can like.. remove the respec mod so the map mod configure option shows up at a grace, configure the map mod so icons actually show up, and then re-add the respec mod lol
