Hi Everyone,
Had a question about this process. I'm trying to perform the steps but every time I restore my save file, Skyrim fails to load and give me an error. Can anyone help?
Here is what I am doing:
*Note:* I'm running CFW on 8.1.0 Switch using atmosphere and Hekate. I also have the latest version of Skyrim SE PC on Steam (legit copy) and I have updated Skyrim on Switch to latest version 1.1.xxx
1.) Started new game and got past the tutorial / intro and make it out the cave area to Skyrim.
2.) Save my game
3.) Use JKSV to backup my save files to SD Card.
4.) Put SD Card in PC and copy over the .sav0 to the Skyrim SE save folder and rename with .ess extension
5.) Launch Skyrim and load save (I get the Hyrule.esm warning as mentioned in the post)
6.) I then give myself 20 lockpicks and save over the file (this is just my test)
7.) Copy the .ess back over to the SD Card and rename to .sav0 (I still have the respective .sav1 file untouched)
8.) Use JKSV to restore the save game
9.) Attempt to launch Skyrim and almost immediately get this error:
"The software was closed because an error occurred."
I thought maybe it was JKSV but I used JKSV to restore a backup of my original save file and it worked fine. Then I thought it was me adding the 20 lockpicks so I simply just launched my original save on PC and saved over it with no modifications and got the same result in the end.
Couple things I *think* may be going wrong:
- Maybe the version of the game(s) matters?
- Maybe I have to perform some sort of edit to the .sav1 file? (I noticed that it was just an empty file)
- Maybe I need to reach a certain point in the game to do this?
- Maybe I'm such a n00b that I missed something important?
Any help would be appreciated on this. Would love to play through this game again on the Switch.
Let me know what questions you have.
