An unrecoverable backup file #1002

Open SwShard opened 3 weeks ago

SwShard commented 3 weeks ago

There is a backup available that cannot be restored due to the lack of an appropriate slot in the game. Is it possible to export backup files to JSON format?

You should be able to extract the archived backup in/to a location of choice. After that, you should be able to re-direct the Save Editor to that location instead (File > Open FIle/Path) to allow loading the saves you extracted. Then you should be able to 'Export JSON' found under the 'Edit' tab at the top.

Make sure to re-direct the Save Editor to the actual game files again for regular use.
