Please read and check the common issues above before reporting an issue.

Always remember to make backups of your savegames before editing. Use this savegame editor at your own risk. By using it, you are responsible of any data lost.


Saving/loading is slow in emulators

If you are playing on an emulator and using the editor, please make sure that:

  • the emulator is closed when you edit
  • the editor is closed when you are playing
  • close any Windows explorer window when the emulator is running

 

Which is the latest progress.sav of the six available (slot_00-slot_05)?

Before loading your progress.sav in the editor, load your caption.sav and you will see a thumbnail of your savegame. This will allow you identify which is your latest savegame.

 

Changes made with the editor are not showing up in game

Make sure you are replacing the correct progress.sav file and not creating a progress (1).sav, that would make your savegame invalid and reset your progress

 

After changing my horse in the editor, the thumbnail in the stable still shows the old one

This is a known issue.

The game generates a thumbnail after being registered and, despite the horse changes correctly when you take it out, the thumbnail will still keep the original horse's. Can be fixed, but it's not a big priority right now.

Follow the discussion at #169.

 

I've used a cheat to do X but now I cannot do Y nor progress in-game. Can you implement a feature to the savegame editor that fixes broken savegames due to cheating?

Cheats manipulate memory in real time, which means, it can break other things in-game. Be careful with that.

I am so sorry but, unfortunately, it would take time to do some research in order to fix glitched savegames (that have nothing to do with the savegame editor).

 

Weapon/shield durability cannot get higher than its default values

TOTK made some changes on how weapons work.

Durability limit can only be increased now to a higher value if you set the modifier to Durability Up, and create a virtually infinite weapon/bow/shield. But sadly, it is impossible to combine it with another modifier like BOTW (without RAM cheats).
