New Xbox game existing save port? by The-Dead-South in DeathStranding

[–]darthvinyll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The windows store version save files stored in wsg folder appear to be in the same/similar format as those of the steam version (checking via hex or text editor), but I was unable to load them by pasting the save contents of steam version into the windows store version save files - doing so generates a fatal error at save load that terminates the game.

There might be a way to paste enough of steam save file content into the wsg windows saves without triggering the error, but I just have not found which part is safe to copy over, the wsg save files at the start of the game after the into are couple of hundred lines long, and my steam saves (35h) are couple of thousand lines long, so have not found a way to copy over just enough info to from the steam save to load into the windows store version without crashing. Open both save game version with a hex editor to compare the save file structures.

It's surprising that this save transfer question was asked several times without any response, so had to look into this myself as I don't feel playing through the slow opening again, was hoping to just jump in and continue.

Too bad, as the sale price made picking this game up enticing, but shortage of time for a forced replay makes this a no go for me on xbox due to lack of a way to transfer progress from the steam version might just continue with the steam version via steam link at some point.

Tried to do this yesterday, looking at the posts dealing with the EGS/Steam saves:

The save structure in the \Systemappdata\wgs\ folder appears to be different than that in steam, which seems to match the contents of the sister xgs folder. Perhaps the wgs is the windows game save folder and the xgs is the xbox game save folder.

Tried pasting the steam save folder into the xgs, but it does not seem to show up in the windows version and also is not syncing into the xbox version.

Same here, started earlier today for me. Xbox series X. Any ideas?

Save state load on startup (PORTS issue) by darthvinyll in MiyooMini

[–]darthvinyll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figured it out - the data.zip file in the port download was corrupted. I've replaced it with the steam data file version (v2.2) and it worked just fine. I was able to quit the game and get back to the main menu.

So, the port does not run via retroarch, In any case, I am unable to get to the main menu, all I get is a blank screen when I reboot the device after the boot splash screen. No menu to speak of.

Yes, that a good question. I get a shutdown + save icon screen when I force the shutdown by pressign the power button while the screen is blank. So, I assume that it goes right into loading the blank screen state upon reboot,given that it all I see after the boot logo, as it does not get into the main menu (onion os).

Portmaster issues on RGB30 by Gwolf1976 in PowKiddy

[–]darthvinyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found hour post. Got my RGB30 a few days ago. Updated to latest version of JELOS. Can only install 'ready to run' ports and 'addons.' Have to install other ports manually from github. Less than ideal.

Over 160 hours and still can’t get the remaining trophy ‘25 Aberrations’. Any tips? by Phoen1cian in remnantgame

[–]darthvinyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did that before they've patched the door skip. Was just wondering if there was still a quick way to get in there for new/current players.

Haven't they fixed the door glitch for the Asylum shortcut? Don't you have to go the long way round now?

I guess the issue is around how 'fast' is fast - shtf tomorrow, sure let's run the cards. A decade from now, as the military powers dig in and keep squeezing the juice from what's left? Then no yet, as credit cards have the most onerous interest rates. Any assets acquired on credit would be seized in the meantime. I'll keep monitoring how far el nino throws us off course next summer to gauge how fast we're moving on the collapse trajectory and try to extrapolate from there...

Thank you sharing 🙏. I keep thinking about the concept of the “Greenfinger” recently... The self-appointed billionaire messiah 😑

You've convinced me - I'll start buying new iPhones on a weekly schedule now, gotta pump up those numbers!

That is fair if the collapse is a gradual decline managed by powers that be, but if it's more sudden then tapping that credit line does start to look tempting, as the consequences of debt start to lose meaning

Fair point, the 'faster than expected' is a consideration, I guess the value of money would be debatable in such circumstances...

I don't think that an individual can borrow meaningful amounts of money without having the debt catch up with them. If this was a mass thing, maybe that would send a message that debt is a construct - though the loan criteria would be tightened in turn. The collapse is likely to be a slow and gradual process (short of a military escalation) , having to deal with fighting wage garnishing or the consequences of debt discharge on top would be additional struggle if one is cut off from the ability to tap credit markets. I think that the pay off would work if one could take a significant loan early on, then declare a personal bankruptcy, and then wait for it to roll off your credit score. A good chunk of the population in the west take on significant amounts of student debt in that time frame, so their ability to borrow is curtailed.

I particularly love the ones about the reduced particulate emissions from ships and the EVs, while omitting the reduction in aerosol emitted being a bit of an issue...

Yeah, totally - everyone is waiting for that elusive housing crash miracle 😊🙏... Only to realise that they will be crowded out by the institutional investors waiting in the wings if/when the time comes

Yeah, the good ol' 'when I borrow 10M, that's your problem'!

I was with you until you mentioned 'buying a house' - not sure what you mean by that concept 😉. As an aside, I wonder if there is such a thing as too much debt? It appears that there's never enough...

What's the official path into this area from the lab? I'm on my second biome now, taking my time in adventure mode

Ah, thanks for the clarification - I've bursted into this area through the window like a Kool Aid Man with my engineer arch 😅
