I appear to be having the same issue as others. The first unzip works fine and I get a big file and a small file. Then when I unzip the second file I get over 60 files like VAP and NFC, no DAT. I've tried saving my game into a new slot, extracting from horizon a couple times, and unzipping again but still same results.

same issue all VAP,NFC, files no dat file after second offzip. Any help?

Awesome job, thank you for the share.

Yeah it will just freeze, xcom does the same. It's a lack of foresight or simply not caring on the devs part, it's entirely related to reading something unexpected in the save file, which can happen when it's not been compressed in an expected manner, really freaks it out.

You may be able to repair that save through some manner of ritual container transfusion (like dark souls) but frankly I would delete it and work off of your next save, which you will of course backup beforehand.

One thing I recommend doing out of habit is the moment you succesfully load a modified save in the game, make a new slot and discard the old one at your earliest convenience. No chance of corruption. If memory serves, fable 3 only gave you one slot, which is why you were doomed to corruption, here we have loads of slots to play with so we can avoid the problem.

Works! Thanks for the explanation 8Ball :) Maybe that's what Idle tried to say too some pages ago... Anyway, this explanation should be added to the first page

Same issue, followed all instructions to a T... I'll give it a few more tries later, for now onto play something else in the mean time.

It seems every save is different just use trial and error and u will get it mate :)

Once I hit step 8, I only get about 6-7 files that extract themselves and none of them are .dat files. I'll try a couple more times when I get a chance this afternoon but so far no luck.

I don't know what step 9 and 10 means by "type 0x133 (whatever your .dat file is called without the 0's)"
Could someone explain this to me.
