DragonSword : Awakening

[Known Issue] Unable to Start the Game Due to a Save File Corruption Message

Hound13 Inc.

Hello, this is the DragonSword : Awakening team. We would like to inform you of the following issue identified after Update 1.1.0, along with a temporary workaround.

■ Known Issue

  • For some players, the following message appears when starting the game, and the game cannot be started

The save file is corrupted, so a backup file is being loaded. Some content may differ from your previous gameplay.

■ Workaround

  1. Switch Steam to Offline Mode (Steam Cloud sync OFF)
  2. In your Steam Library, right-click DragonSword : Awakening > [Properties] > [Installed Files] > [Browse]
  3. Go to the path below, then right-click the [9-digit number folder] and compress it into a zip file (backup)

DS\\Saved\\savegames\\[9-digit number folder]

  1. Open the [9-digit number folder] and delete all files ending in .bak
  2. Launch the game
  3. After exiting the game normally, switch Steam back to Online (Steam Cloud sync ON)

※ Please make sure to create the backup in step 3 (zip compression) before deleting any files.

■ Fix Schedule

  • We are currently working on a fix and will announce the schedule separately once it is confirmed.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding. — The DragonSword : Awakening Team
