One way to find out is, old save files are around 9MB, while new ones are around 11MB.īacking up your save file is a good idea either way. I’ve heard that there is a ‘savedata_backup’ folder in the main MHW game directory that may a backup of the old save, but I haven’t personally witnessed or confirmed this. You’ll need to have had the old save file backed up manually or on another machine in order to recover it.
If you are one of many people who got this error and opted to create a new save, and you had Steam cloud sync enabled, you have my condolences. I don’t imagine that as a common fix considering that the entire base game was updated, but it is a quick and harmless method to try. Some have also reported being able to update theirs save by disabling the Iceborne DLC and running the game. Save game transfer apps have worked for some, just not for everyone, including myself. I only got this far by following them first.
I should note that there have been a lot of posts for solutions to this issue. Hopefully, Capcom will patch and fix this, but in the meantime, I was able to find a proper update method that worked for me, and ultimately saved me from losing 150 hours of progress in the game. Unfortunately, it won’t convert, or even recognize save files from versions previous to the last update.
This update brought on yet another save file conversion. Now that Iceborne is released, Capcom unleashed a full game update to everyone, including those who didn’t purchase the expansion. So, what happened? Only Capcom knows for certain, but it appears that over the past year there was an update to the save file format. “Do you want to close without saving?” Yes, yes you do. Instead, just force close the game without selecting anything. Doing so could erase your previous save permanently, especially if you had Steam cloud sync enabled. Create new save data?”, even if you didn’t buy the expansion.įirst of all, if you get that prompt to make a new save DO NOT SELECT YES. When you are loading the game after the update, you could be greeted with the message “Failed to read saved data for Monster Hunter: Iceborne. More often this happens when the player hasn’t run the game in a long while, 2018 in my case. This guide is intended to help people recover their save data if they haven’t played in an extended period of time.Īfter the Iceborne update, there is an issue that many players are facing in regard to their save files being unrecognized. Previous save file updates over the past year are required to import into Iceborne, rendering older save files unreadable. The Iceborne update modified the base game as well as the format of the save files. This guide will show “How to Import Your Old Save Files”. Today I am gonna mention the newly released Monster Hunter: World is eye-catching.
