yeah the pc game pass save location is in a weird spot. then you have to figure out which random file is your save.

#

file path seems to be %appdata% AppData\Local\Packages\SoldOutSalesMarketing.<hash>\SystemAppData\wgs<hash>

i got that far but can't determine the contents of the files

then inside of that directory there are random hashed save files. sounds like you have to uncompress the gzip from steam and rename it to right hashed save file in that location.

#

if i make progress i'll update

I transferred my save files from Steam to Game Pass:

The free weekend on Steam was my first time playing Core Keeper. I played a bunch one map, one character, solo.

The game saves are in AppData\LocalLow\Pugstorm\Core Keeper\Steam

Today, I opened Core Keeper on Game Pass. I created a new world, created a new character, then saved and quit. That created a new save folder that sporb mentioned, the AppData\Local\Packages\SoldOutSalesMarketing one.

The Game Pass save files correspond to the following important file names from the Steam save directory:

maps\0\0.mapparts.gzip
saves\0.json
worldgenparams\0.json
worldinfos\0.worldinfo
worlds\0.world.gzip
Admins.json
PlayerBans.json
prefs.json
ServerConfig.json

The names of all the files in the Game Pass directory change every time Core Keeper changes any of the files. That seems to be what the container.# file contains info on.

So, I closed the game on Game Pass, and one by one I went to each file in the Game Pass save directory, right-clicked, Edit in Notepad. By doing the same to each Steam save file, I figured out which was which, then swapped each one individually with the correct Steam file, renaming it each time.

When I opened Core Keeper on Game Pass, my Steam world was there, but when I choose my character, I get an error: "This character was created using a more recent game version. Please check for game updates."

To fix this, right-click your character save, Edit in Notepad, and the very first thing in the file is:

"version":9

Change the 9 to an 8, save, close, and then re-launch Core Keeper. If you do this while it's open, it won't work until you close and start again.

Hi, i did all of this, I can open the game, see my world and character, but once trying to load in, it says "could not read save file". i tired changing version from 9 to 8, and back, same thing. any ideas?

#

if i load in the same world with a different character, same problem.
