Corrupted Save files, please help!

[Tomytom95]

Hi!

I've got a few characters that just recently got corrupted and was hoping to find a solution to get them back?

Have unlocked almost all cards with one of them as well and played with another character with a friend, would hate to lose all that work

Would also appreciate if someone could find a way to restore arcade modes progress, would be a bummer to start over on that as well.

I've attached a .zip with all the files with my characters and arcade mode related stuff. Hopefully someone can help?

The game keeps regular backups, so maybe you can restore one from before the corruption!

In the file explorer, go into %APPDATA%/Secrets of Grindea and find the Backups folder. In here you should see folders named after all your characters. Go into the appropriate folder. The auto 0-4 are rolling backups. Sort the folder by date to easily see which of them was made last! The “005h” and alike are permanent backups made every hour.

Choose a backup you think is appropriate, and copy it to the “Characters” and/or “Worlds” folders. Replace the save file of the slot you want to recover by deleting its save and renaming the copied backup to the correct slot. The 0 save file corresponds to your first save slot, 1 to the second, and so forth.

If it's specifically the character that's bugged, and not the world, you only need to restore the .cha-file.
