Please use the official method:

If that doesn't work you can still try the below.

How to transfer your save

Your save file from EGS is located here:

C:\Users\user profile\AppData\Local\Saber\WWZ\client\storage\slots

In the folder you're looking for the file: user_progression.dat

Open the Steam Cloud directory for WWZ:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\your steam user ID\699130\remote

Delete the user_progression file located in the steam folder and replace with the EGS user_progression.dat. Rename the file from .dat to .cfg.

Done

Copying

Stop messaging me about the identical guide on the Steam Guides section. I wrote this guide and some other dudes copied it to farm profile points.

If you must know, there's an odd thing going round where people make an empty guide immediately when a game launches then the author edits it afterwards with the copied contents of the guide afterwards to farm steam points. No i don't know why they do it either.

in fact "the other dude's" guide is 11 minutes older than yours, how can it be copied?

could this get you banned somehow or is it safe for both offline and online play?

fuck epic
fuck the ccp

Did they finally get rid of the epic store requirement to play this game? Its the only thing that holds me back in a lot of these games on steam that require another steam competitor to launch

Worked like a charm, thanks!

Does anyone know if this only works for the Aftermath version on both Epic and Steam? I have the original version on Epic and Aftermath on Steam
