How to share your Steam save file for Sekiro with a friend [who uses a different steam account]?
I go to c:\Users[myname]\AppData\Roaming\Sekiro[folder-with-a-lot-of-numbers] and replace the file with a file from the similar folder on my friends PC.
But when I start the game it says "Failed to load save data".
I tried different works arounds:
-
To create a new character first. Only then quit the game and replace save files. Same error.
-
The way people did it in Dark Souls II. I replaced file while catscene was playing. As result I did get a file with two characters – transferred one and the new one. But when I load trasferred character I get the same data error.
-
I tried -restorecouldbackups launch option, like it says in here [in russian]. Same error.
-
I even found this app for Dark Souls 3, but it wants darksouls3.exe file and doesn't seem to work for Sekiro.

It wasn't easy, but I managed to do it. So we are porting save file from account-A to account-B. I assume there is only one character in the save file on the account-A.
P.S. The data for each player character is shifted by 00100010 bytes. Knowing this you should be able to port other characters slot in the similar manner, but I haven't tried it. How to port the very last slot - I don't know.
