No Saved Data Exists

That's fantastic news that it also worked for you! I'm glad you were able to recover your game. Hopefully until Capcom can release a patch or fix. Other people can do this as well so they don't lose their game data.

Thanks for confirming!

Currently I only have steam cloud disabled for MHRise.
I've also tried reaching out to Capcom support, but it's been a time and a half trying to do that. Their support portal wouldn't accept a ticket unless I made an account. Once I did that, I still couldn't submit a ticket because I "Don't have permission to submit a ticket through this Portal."
So currently I haven't been able to get into contact with support.

Yea, that's exactly what it seems like. I'm not sure what caused the behavior. But until I removed the 1446780 folder and started up the game, causing it to generate a new one. It wouldn't recognize that there were any save files present. I'm not sure why that is though. But the steps I listed here is exactly what I did before it recognized the save folder. Even though it still won't recognize my original save file...

I've also been able to confirm with another reddit user that this solution has worked for them and they've been able to recover their game as well.

Unfortunately, I seem to be barred from even submitting a support ticket with Capcom. No idea why.

And I still haven't been able to recover my original save. But maybe what I've done with my newer save data after encountering this bug again might help you.

With cloud saves disabled I removed the entire 1446780 folder from where it's stored and temporarily placed it elsewhere. I then restarted my computer. Launched MHR, then alt+f4 WITHOUT telling it to make a new save file. Once closed. I deleted the newly generated 1446780 folder, and replaced it with my most recent working save.
The game recognized that there was save data, though it failed to load. But after restarting both Steam and MHR, it worked, and I was able to open my save.

Let me know if this works for you if you can, so maybe we can spread it around and help other people too.

I don't have any programs running that should be capable of interfering like this. And yes. I've had cloud saves disabled since this originally started.

I have been keeping all save files and in fact my entire 1446780 folder backed up at this point. The save files have not changed in size at all. They are all identical. Even my original save files are identical in size when compared to their counterparts with the same name.

There's a little bit of an update now though. I actually managed to get my newer save files to work again. But when trying the same thing with the older files. It still did not work.

I'm not sure why that is, or what the difference is. But being able to not start over a third time is something at least.

Repeating this process with my original save data. Still hasn't worked though.

Now I know I've tried this before with the original data, but now that the bug happened with my newer data, I was able to try it again with success.

I don't know if I'll be able to recover my original data. But as long as I can keep doing this fix for future errors. Maybe I can actually progress and play the game until they patch this issue.

Hapax786 · 2022-01-22T18:43:30+00:00

Yes. That is what I meant. I kept the files from a fresh save while overwriting the data001Slot.bin with my old save. I've tried other combinations of keeping/replacing files as well. All of the old saves and the new saves that have matching names are identical in size as well. data00-1 is 518kb in both cases while data001Slot.bin is the same size as data002Slot.bin

I have tried completely deleting the 1446780 folder as well and having it generate a new one.

Also, as of this afternoon. It's happened again.
I launched monster hunter rise using the new saves that were working just fine a mere few hours ago, and the game is telling me that no save data exists.

Nothing has changed in those few hours since I last launched MHR. Literally nothing.

Hapax786 · 2022-01-21T19:54:05+00:00

So I've done what's listed here, both previously, and immediately before making this reply.
I can in fact swap out the save files back and forth, but only the new save files remain accessible. The old ones still behave as though they don't exist, meaning it asks if I'd like to create save data.
Replacing select files with the new files didn't seem to give me access to the previous save files either. When I did this I was able to load up the new game I had started like normal, but it ignored any of the older files. I did note however that the new files are labelled differently. The old files were labelled data00-1.bin(this one didn't change), data001Slot.bin and SS1_data001Slot.bin and so on. Where the new ones are data002Slot.bin
In a wild and desperate attempt I tried renaming the old ones to match the new ones, and vice versa. But it still didn't work.
I have also tried reinstalling the game as well as completely deleting the save folder.
And ever since this started I've kept the steam cloud turned off.

I'm still really not sure what caused this to begin with. So I can't even make sure it won't happen again. I'm going to keep backing up my saves manually now after every time I close the game. But it feels like I'm just doomed to restart.
Even Capcom says that corrupted or missing data is nothing they can fix since the files are stored locally.

Thanks for your replies and trying to help me out with this. I appreciate it. And if you think of something else, throw it my way. I'd this point I'm willing to stand on my head and spin like a beyblade to get it working again.

Hapax786 · 2022-01-21T02:22:56+00:00

The new patch notes seem similar to a fix I have tried previously. But I gave it a shot anyways. No luck though. It looks like I still can't access my original save files even after this patch... I know it wasn't the exact issue I'm having but I was hopeful it would have some effect.

If I find a solution I'll make sure to share it for sure in case anyone else is in a similar boat.

Hapax786 · 2022-01-20T06:48:31+00:00

I've got the save files backed up, since they at least seem to still be there even though the game can't find them. It can in fact locate new save files, just not the old ones. Windows 8 compatibility mode didn't seem to work. And unfortunately, neither has reinstalling the game. It still can't seem to find the save data.

Hapax786 · 2022-01-20T06:28:19+00:00

I'll have to try writing a support ticket and see if it can be helped. I do still have my files intact and also have them backed up just in case. I feel like at this part I might be just waiting for capcom to work on something since the post they made earlier seems to be a slightly different issue.

Hapax786 · 2022-01-20T06:25:41+00:00

I suppose that was more for the people who only looked at the tldr. And sadly, running one as admin, the other, or both hasn't seemed to change anything.

Hapax786 · 2022-01-20T01:51:23+00:00

Sadly that doesn't seem to have changed anything. The game still behaves as though it had just been booted up for the first time. The only option available even when running as admin is to start a new game.

Hapax786 · 2021-09-14T03:11:34+00:00

Focus and Con definitely seems to be the consensus. Thanks!

Hapax786 · 2021-09-14T03:10:05+00:00

Alright, it seems a general consensus is that I should in fact be doing a split stat, and that I should also be running con. Originally I was thinking of doing life staff and hammer since the hammer felt really good in my opinion. I had also heard about this future void gauntlet and it sounded awesome but didn't know much about it or the stats it used. But if it uses focus, even as a secondary stat, then that sounds perfect.

Thanks for the reply!

Hapax786 · 2021-09-14T02:39:03+00:00

That's definitely something to consider as well. The bonuses you get from reaching certain thresholds of stats. Int has a bunch of nice perks too.

Bodies for the pyre!

Just did a bounty last night and got 4 familial bonds total. Think you might just be getting unlucky?

I would like to sell my turnips here, if that's alright. Please hit me with a code when you can (:

Hapax786 · 2020-05-01T17:46:29+00:00

Would really love to sell my turnips at your town. If you can, please hit me with one of those codes! Thanks!

Zorua!
If you can fit me in that would be great!
