ROM Hack Dying Light PC to Switch Save Transfer - Super Easy!

[mattyxarope]

So I've just gotten Dying Light and I can confirm that PC saves transfer fine!

Just:

1. Open the game and play until you can walk around the building (it autosaves and creates a save file).

2. Close the game

3. Open Checkpoint (or whatever you use to manage saves)

4. Backup the save for the game (the save consists of three files - profile_languages_settings.dat, profile_settings.dat, and save_coop_0.sav)

5. Extract your save from PC - this may be in "%USERNAME%\Documents\Steam\CODEX\239140\" depending on how you installed, it's easiest to just search for "239140"

6. Inside "239140" there are several folders - navigate to storage > out > save

7. Copy the save_coop_0.sav file and transfer it to the folder on your switch where the save is backed up (For Checkpoint it is in sdroot > switch > Checkpoint > Dying Light) - overwrite the file

8. Go into Checkpoint (or your save manager) and restore the save

Is it possible to modify it's graphics settings? Like disabling antialiasing etc.

Does anyone know where on the SD card the saves are? I'm trying to find them via ftp and have not had any luck.

you have to use a save manager first, like JKSV, to dump the saves

When I use DB installer I can access the saves directly, I don't even have to take the SD card out of my switch. That works great, but it's usb and I'm trying to go extra extra convenience and do it via wifi. I guess DB installer mounts the SD or something?

DBI actually mounts the "internal" memory of the Emummc

no wifi app can do that as far as I know
