I can't transfer shadow of war gog save to steam save. Whenever I open the game, Steam changes the save file, but the game does not open without opening Steam. How can I transfer the shadow of war gog save to my steam save? If you have a save file of at least 40 or 50%, send it to me... I spent 40 hours in the game, but there is also DLC etc. in the steam version. ı really need to play on steam...

Did you get the gog version for free via Amazon? I'm not sure the dlc is missing from the store.

Otherwise I can't help, sorry.

Yeah, I'm not sure about DLC being the reason either. I'm not seeing anything on Steam that isn't here. But there could be other reasons OP wishes to switch to Steam version. I always wondered about saves from gog versions of a game working on the Steam version. I've tried several just for curiosity, and all of the ones I tried did in fact work on both, but they were all older games. I wonder if it's an achievement issue that causes some game's saves to not work on both?

yes mate ı buy on amazon for free. So, since there is no DLC in the game, will it be a problem to drag the save file? Isn't there a solution?

I'm really not sure. Even the gog version save of the game is very ridiculous and strange, there are at least 10 save files visible, for example save1, save2, save3 etc. But I still found the actual save file and its name is DESKTOP-9710I2_ShadowOfWar.sav

It really depends on the game. Most saves are fully compatible, there just is no reason to have two different formats. Most modern Steam games even use the Windows standard directories for user data unlike in the early years when the data was stored inside the Steam userprofile directory.

However ... some modern games encode their savegames like it's done on consoles. One can't transfer PS4 savegames from one account to another. You see that very often in PC ports of playstation games.
Also while they may still use the user home as base, they will create a subdirectory for the profile with the game user ID (usually a long number).
The problem that can occur is that Steam, GOG and Epic don't use the same User-ID.
So you a) can have two different locations and b) it coult be that the data is encrypted using different IDs.

It gets even more curious: When Spider-man is launched through the Epic-Launcher, the launcher provides an ID.
When you start it directly through the .exe it gets another.
Same for Death Stranding. It can be played offline (not recommended, you miss out then), but the savegames can't be exchanged for the online savegames which are created when the game gets the ID from the launcher.
