Hi all,
I have 90+ hours on Steam in this game from back when it released. (A lot was multiplayer too, and a lot of unlocks ingame)
GOG didn't import the Steam save. When I forced it across it detected the old save from 2017 as a corrupted save and it would show as:
" #str_metric_game_completed DEV " - ie: gamedev cheat mode - Which it wasn't. But nothing was accessible anyway.
I thought I was going crazy so I reinstalled the Steam Version alongside the GOG version and lo and behold the Steam Version dedicated my 8 year old saves perfectly as I left them with 100% game completion and some trophies etc unlocked with whatever else was originally unlocked in my old playthrough.
So does anyone know how to make the 2 save formats work or import the Steam save without causing corruption? I don't want to play through from scratch again. I wanted to do more of a revisit of the game (in the GOG version) and levels.
The files are stored in C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base subfolders
savegame.user
& savegame
I can find 100% saves for Steam's version but haven't found a GOG 100% savegame. If someone has one I'm happy to just use that at this point.
Thanks
