Eternal Strands: Requesting Save File Support

Hey guys! We need your help to add support for Eternal Strands! This article outlines how you can contribute your save files, making it possible for everyone to enjoy the game to its fullest.

Why We Need Your Save Files

Save files from different platforms, especially the Xbox Game Pass and Microsoft Store versions, are crucial for adding complete support for Eternal Strands. These files allow developers to understand the game's data structure, which is essential for creating tools and mods that enhance the gaming experience. Think of it like this: your save files are the Rosetta Stone that helps us unlock the game's full potential.

How to Find Your Eternal Strands Save Files

Finding your save files might seem daunting, but don't worry, it's easier than you think! Just follow these simple steps, and you'll be a save file sleuth in no time. Remember, providing these files helps the entire community, so let's dive in!

Step-by-Step Guide to Locating Your Save Files

1. Open the Windows Run Dialog:
   • The quickest way to do this is by pressing the Windows key + R. This will bring up a small window where you can type commands.
2. Enter the Magic Command:
   • Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages (without the quotes) into the Run dialog box. This command will take you directly to the folder where Windows stores application data, including game saves.
3. Search for the Game's Folder:
   • This is where things might seem a bit tricky, but don't fret! You're looking for a folder name that includes either the game's name or the developer/publisher's name. The folder name usually follows a format like DeveloperOrPublisherName.PossibleGameName_RandomLettersAndNumbers. For example, it might look something like DivertissementsYellowBric.EternalStrands_q812rx0f9vwt8. If you're unsure, think about who made the game or what it's called, and scan the folders for something similar.
4. Found It! Now What?
   • Once you've spotted the correct folder, copy and paste the entire folder name into the issue or wherever you're providing the information. This helps ensure we're all on the same page. For Eternal Strands, the package name you're likely looking for is DivertissementsYellowBric.EternalStrands_q812rx0f9vwt8.
5. Dive into the SystemAppData Folder:
   • Open the game's folder, and inside, you'll find another folder called SystemAppData. This is where the real treasure lies!
6. The Precious "wgs" Folder:
   • Inside SystemAppData, you'll see a folder named wgs. This is where the actual save files are stored. Zip this folder up – zipping it makes it easier to share and keeps everything neat and tidy.

What if You Can't Find the Folder?

Sometimes, things don't go as planned. If you can't find the folder, here are a few things to check:

• Check PCGamingWiki: Head over to PCGamingWiki (https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Home) and search for Eternal Strands. The game's page often lists the exact save game data location under the "Windows / XGP / Microsoft Store" section. The name format is the same: DeveloperOrPublisherName.PossibleGameName_RandomLettersAndNumbers.
• Is the Game Installed?: This might seem obvious, but it's worth double-checking. If you uninstall the game, the save files might be deleted. They won't reappear until you reinstall the game. So, make sure Eternal Strands is still installed on your system.
• Still No Luck?: Don't worry! Just open an issue and provide as many details as you can about what you've tried and what you couldn't find. The community is here to help!

Steam and Epic Versions: Bonus Points!

If you also have the Steam or Epic versions of Eternal Strands installed, including those save files in your zip would be fantastic! You can usually find the save file locations for these versions on the PCGamingWiki page as well. While not required, including these saves can significantly speed up the support process. It’s like giving us extra puzzle pieces to complete the picture!

The Final Step: Sharing Your Save Files

Okay, you've found your save files and zipped them up. Now, how do you share them? Here are a few options:

• Attach to the Issue: You can directly attach the zip file to the issue you're contributing to. This is the most straightforward method.
• Send via Email: You can send the zip file to @Z1ni (check their user profile for the email address). Email is a reliable way to ensure the files are received.
• Google Drive or Similar: If the file is too large to attach or email, you can upload it to Google Drive, Dropbox, or another file-sharing service and share the link. Just make sure the link is accessible!

Example: Eternal Strands Package Name
