There are many reasons why you have to look for the location of the save of a game. Most often this happens when the player expects to complete the game without any difficulty, using a high-level character from the very beginning. At the same time, there is no desire or skill to mess with cheats. However, there are other reasons:
- bugs that do not allow you to complete a specific mission;
- loss of your own saves;
- Transferring progress to another computer, etc.
Fans of the cooperative zombie shooter Dying light are no exception, but before you wonder where the saveings from Dying light lie, you should first figure out what version is installed on the computer.
Steam
A licensed game is not the best case for manipulating files, since they lie deep in the Steam folder itself. Therefore, the first thing you need to find is her. If there is a shortcut to a program (not a game), then there is a very simple way. By clicking on it and choosing “File Location” in the menu that opens, you can immediately get to the desired folder.
Next, you need to find where the save from the Dying light lies. To do this, open userdata. It will contain one or more folders with names consisting of a set of numbers. The difficulty is that you naturally need one. But since they are all different, one cannot say which one. To find out, you need to open them one at a time. Inside, look for the folder “239140”, when it is found, immediately click and go inside.
The following steps are already simpler, there is the reotecache.vdf file and the remote section, which is what you need. After that, it’s easy to switch to a single out. Next, select save. Here will be the preservation of the Dying light from the owners of the licensed copy from Steam. In short, it looks like this:
{path to steam} \ steam \ userdata \ {some number} \ 239140 \ remote \ out \ save
It is important to understand that after replacing files due to constant Steam synchronization, re-caching may occur (roughly speaking, replacing files on a computer with their backup copies from servers), and this will reduce all efforts to nothing.
You also need to remember that files from previous versions may work on new ones, but the opposite is usually not possible.
Now you can figure out where the save lies on the pirate Dying light. To do this, it is advisable to know which team made the hack (whose so-called tablet is used). Several cases are possible, we will consider each in detail.
3DM
Versions from these crackers are known for saving them in a special section of the root folder of the game itself. In this case, Dying light. Therefore, finding them is not so difficult, but it also has its drawbacks. Namely, after removing it from the computer, progress will also be lost, it is better not to forget about this feature.
The directory where the Dying light from 3dm is stored can be named differently. Here are the most common names:
1. OfflineStorage. If this name is used, then you will need to go to User, then remote, and starting from this moment, the address repeats the license case.
2. 3DMGAME. In this case, there are two options:
- if there is a directory with the same name in the folder, open it, then find storage, then out. Again the same as in the license.
- you need to look for Baracuda, and already in it remote, etc. (as in the license).
ALI213
This author also keeps the save in the game folder, but the path is different. After the root comes Profile, then ALI213, in it click on Saves, later out, etc.
RLD (Reloaded)
This command uses a different way of storing progress files. They send them to one of the partitions of the system drive, namely ProgramData. The advantage of this case can be considered the storage of progress even after the removal of the game. That is, if you install it again, the save will not be lost. The downside is folder stealth. But it can be fixed.
You need to go to "My Computer", then select the "View" tab on the top panel, click on the settings, in the window that opens also select "View". Then, in the submenu, rewind the wheel down to the stop and click on the button for displaying hidden files and disks.
Now that the directory has become available, we are looking for Steam in it, then in RLD !. After that you need to open 239140 and look for storage or remote there, by going into one of them, you can see out, as in the license, there are Dying light saves there.
C: \ ProgramData \ Steam \ RLD! \ 239140 \ {storage or remote} \ out \ save
CODEX
These crackers have chosen the most user-friendly case. This version sends the save to one of the sections of the documents, namely to the "General Documents". Next Steam, after in CODEX, and then in 239140, from there to the familiar remote, etc.
C: \ Users \ General \ General Documents \ Steam \ CODEX \ 239140 \ remote \ out \ save (the Russian part of the path can be in English)
Summary
It is worth noting that all of the above is also suitable as an answer to the question of where the preservation of Dying light the following lies . Since this is a simple addition to the game.
