I did just read this in the forum guide to corrupt saves: " For Switch - There's no solution. The save is dead. The Switch encrypts the save, so missing a byte is fatal. " I am 40-50 hours into this save so it was tough to realize this. Sounds like I am truly out of luck. Any idea why both the backup and the main file were corrupted at the same time (doesn't seem to make sense for the game to have a backup if it writes them both simultaneously, right?) Do I have to do anything to properly use the backup file? Thanks!

Hello I have a sword save file that seems corrupted but i'd like to see if there is any way to salvage it. My system crashed during an autosave. I noticed that there are two files, "main" and "backup" that have the same file size, but they both seem to be corrupted - they will not boot ingame or load in pkhex. In pkhex I get an "attempted to load an unsupported file type/size" error. After starting a new save, I was able to open it in pkhex, and the corrupted save is the same file size as the new one - so that gives me hope that some of my file might be salvageable. I also tried to just open the file with a hex editor but it looks like gibberish when done directly. Can I force pkhex to load the file? Any ideas or help on how to solve this? Thank you! sword_save_file.zip
