Overview
This guide take you through the steps needed to use and play on other save games files.
Why?
There have been a few people (Myself included) who have had corrupted saves regarding this game. Its not common but it certainly does happen.
Perhaps some people can find a save game roughly where they were in the story? Or maybe they just want to not feel like they’re starting right from the beginning again.
Then then there are those that don’t want the hassle and just want a fully geared and already completed first play through ready for NG+… whatever I don’t judge.
Hoping I can help a few people out with this guide thats all 🙂
What do you need?
1) Notepad++ (with the HEX Editor plugin)
Download and install Notepad++ 32bit version
Then click Plugins > Plugins Admin > Search for HEX and install the HEX Editor Plugin
2) A save game created on your system. Just play the game till it auto-saves then quit.
3) The save game you downloaded
FYI save game location is found at Documents My GamesDarksiders2
How do you edit?
Darksiders II save games are particular to your account. So downloading and trying to use a different save game wont. You have to change a few things first.
– Open Notepad++
– Load in YOUR save file … Plugins > HEX-Editor> View in HEX
– Load in the DOWNLOADED save file … Plugins > HEX-Editor> View in HEX
Now the “tricky” part
You want to change ONLY these 5 sets of characters!
In the DOWNLOADED save file change these characters to the corresponding ones found in YOUR save file.
Its that easy… don’t forget to save the file when you are done.
Don’t
Dont ask me where to find save game files.
I’m just letting you how to do it…. the rest is up to you.
