Editing Save Game

Post by Leibstandarte PzD »

I've found where the save games are located on my computer. I was wondering how I might be able to edit them? I open up the zipped .xml file but am unable to edit it. Do I need a special program to do this or am I missing something (i.e. do it with word notepad, etc.) I've tried in notepad without success.

Thank you for your assistance. I am very much enjoying the game.

I assume this isn't possible then?

First, be sure you right click the save game file and unzip it. You'll get an xml file and a PNG. Notepad++ is free app I always use for xml. You should be able to edit save game and keep playing. Or convert savegame to new scenario. Here are instructions from dev for the latter:

Savegames kann indeed be used if you:

- place them at C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Germany at War\Scenarios
- change the sav into scn
- remove the signature and autosave tag in the header
- remove all <messages> at the end
