I've never opened the save files with a hex editor myself, so I'm afraid I don't know how one would go about modifying them. It might be easier changing game stats with external cheat programs while the game is running, though I'm a layman when it comes to this so I could be wrong.I’m trying to figure out how to safely modify my game’s save file, but I’ve hit the limits of what I can manage with my limited programming knowledge. The only progress I’ve made so far is opening the save in a hex editor, but I’m hesitant to change anything because I don’t want to corrupt the file. Could anyone experienced point me in the right direction?
If you're trying to change the amount of money or influence you generate, or a character's stats, there's also the possibility of modding the game by changing a few simple .ini files, it would necessitate starting from the beginning though.
Thanks for reporting the problem nonetheless, It could have very well been a serious issue that would've required me fixing it, so I'm happy that the game is now working for you!That fixed it. So I feel foolish for having wasted your time now. I swear I've played hundreds of games on this PC in a range from custom-engine H-games, all kinds of indie stuff and mainstream AAA titles without directx ever being an issue.
