NieR:Automata saves the player's progress to three save slots of their choice,
numbered 0
to 2
.
The slots are located in %PERSONAL%\My Games\NieR_Automata
, with the following
names:
SlotData_0.dat
SlotData_1.dat
SlotData_2.dat
As mentioned in the Experience Points & Levels documentation, the level is inferred from the EXP. Rather than the level being saved in the slot, it's the current EXP value that's being saved:
Offset | Variable Type |
---|---|
0x3871C |
Unsigned integer |
Upon patching, the library backs up the save slot and then patches it. Backing up is done by copying the selected save slot to the following destination:
Base Directory | Backup Directory | Backup Subdirectory |
---|---|---|
%PERSONAL%\My Games\NieR_Automata |
NieR.EXPer |
<GUID Value> |
