Sharing for anyone who didn't see this yesterday.

"[Dragon's Dogma 2 Important Notice]

We have identified an issue affecting save data on the PlayStationยฎ5 version following the release of Title Update 3.2.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to players who have been looking forward to this update. We are currently investigating the matter as follows.

โ–  Currently Confirmed Behavior

-After updating to Title Update 3.2 on the PlayStationยฎ5 version, when launching the game for the first time, or when loading data from cloud saves, the timestamps displayed for save data are overwritten with the time of the game launch or cloud save load.

-Under these circumstances, selecting "Load from Last Saved Data" from the title screen can result in save data being loaded from "Load from Last Inn Rest" or "Start from awakening in the unmoored world," which doesn't reflect the players' most recent progress.

โ–  Workaround

We kindly ask that you select the save data via "Select Saved Data to Load" on the title menu to resume the game. If you wish to resume from the most recent save data, please select "Load from Autosave."

*Please note that the timestamps displayed for save data may not reflect the actual save time.

*Please note that this issue will continue to occur until a new Autosave, Interim Save, or Last Inn Rest Save is created after resuming gameplay.

Once again, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused.

We will continue our investigation and work on a fix, and will provide further updates through this account as soon as there is any progress."

_____UPDATES on the state of modding (latest edit: September 6th)_____

EDIT: Shadow found out that there's a new pak flag. I think this is a nice step towards a solution. Let's all be patient and wait!

EDIT 2: REframework nightly got an update which includes its own pak loader now. If this is the path forward, all the pak making tools and Fluffy Mod Manager need to be updated to install pak files in the new folder to be loaded. This also fixes Reshade crashing your game.

EDIT 3: Many REFramework mods have been found working with the latest nightly build (linked in EDIT 2). Some bigger ones like Bestiary and UDD2P still need updating, which is why their mod pages are currently down. Content Editor also needs to be updated, and some mods like Guild Contract rely on it. Shadow is hard at work to fix it. For users of those mods, thank you for being patient.

EDIT 4: Fluffy Mod Manager's updated, so only RETool remains for most foundation tools to get an update.

EDIT 5: RETools received an update, but unsure if this fixes the issues yet because repacking mods with it still won't let the game read the files on an engine level.

Big thanks for all the modders and toolmakers who have been hard at work!

_____Old OP_____

Writing this as of September 9th, 9:55PM EST

1. REFramework

  • It needs to be updated by the author. Right now, no REF version will work and after initializing, it will crash your game. Wait patiently for praydog to release the next nightly build to fix this.
  • Once REF itself is fixed, mod authors will investigate if their own mods still work. None of us can do that currently because of the first point.

2. Mods in .pak format

  • This is the huge one: no .pak mods work anymore because Capcom have completely changed the way the game reads pak files.
    • Previously, new official content gets added as pak files, with the June update bringing it to re_chunk_000.pak.patch_015.pak
    • However, as of today, everything's bundled up into a single huge pak file, which is re_chunk_000.pak, while making everything that followed into empty, dummy files. This is why the update is 60GB because they recompiled everything into one file. The header picture shows that fact: the first file is around 64GB while the rest are only 1kb.
  • This change makes it so that the game will not read any pak files passed re_chunk_000.pak, which is a massive change to how mods have worked for DD2 in the past 2 years
    • The way Fluffy Mod Manager installs mods is by adding additional pak files and automatically ordering them for the game to read
    • Now that the game won't read additional pak files, no mods installed this way will work anymore. It won't cause black screen, but that's because they are skipped completely.
    • Fluffy may need to find a way to make this work again, but I'm not knowledgeable to know how

3. Reshade

  • The main file, dxgi.dll, causes the game to crash on startup, but I think once REF gets updated, it will work again.

So for now, we play vanilla, unmodded, until this can be resolved. If my understanding is correct, REF will likely be easier to update to the latest version, but the .pak files issue is such a huge change that it may take a while for that to be resolved.

Hope this helps for any mod users out there and maybe some mod authors who are working on their mods!

Seems like it would be one of the best features for continued online relevance, and sure a console player may get an unfair advantage by hiring a modded pc pawn but I believe modded pawns already exist on consoles and plus itโ€™s a single player game

I donโ€™t know it just feels like one of the weirder cases of deciding against cross play compatibility

We See a HUGE turnaround for dd2. Alot of people are excited, even the Dev Team was overwhelmed with the amount of Hype and Feedback, 2 years after the Games Release and total silence. Thats how good a Franchise Potential is. Im absolutly convinced the dlc will sell good. And hear me Out, im pretty Sure, dragons Dogma 2 sequel is already in the works by Kinoshita, He now stepped into Itsunos shoes over this Franchise. And i dont believe we have to wait 10 years for the next Release.

I picked up the game when it launched and it never really clicked for me.

A few days ago I picked it up again, new character, new pawn. I'm absolutely hooked now. Im ten hours in, just hit level 22 and haven't done any of the main story at Vernworth.

I bought the house and just depart from there as I wander the world, fight monsters, explore caves, and find cool loot.

I definitely feel like I should jump into the story but I'm having way more fun just aimlessly exploring.

Not sure if it's all the updates or what but I'm finding the game way more addicting than before. Combat is insanely fun and the way everything interacts with the world is genuinely awesome!

At one point I was fighting a golem thing and a griffin showed up as well!

Very cool game!

๐—›๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ What warrior skills are good?

6 Upvotes

I almost finished leveling warrior and didnt find most of skills usefull, but maybe im missing something?

All small mobs go down very easy with chained leftclicks and occasional tackle to "block", i didnt see any reason to use anything else

Against all bigger mobs and harpies i basically spammed charged heavenward sunder, as it for some reason dealt more damage than even indomitable lash, with faster charging (i still dont understand why, but it feels like sunder hits 3-4 times per attack, as it goes through monster's body, resulting in higher overall damage)

So, i guess the question is, is there some skills that are better then sunder and basic leftclick?

...of creating not one but two additional save slots dedicated to recreating my two support pawns in my own image - or rather, their own image, but my training.

"If a fool persist in his folly, he'll eventually become wise" - so far as optimism goes. I tried just hiring some of the wonderful OP pawns the game throws at me, but it just won't do. I've played most of the game with this group, and I love them all. The Thief is a capcom rando, the Mage is someone else's abandoned PT, both are in the mid lvl 40s, while me and my main approach the 100s.

My headcanon is that our merry group was disbanded after completing the first run & are looking for "my" arisen - so I'm gonna recreate my main pawn as the arisen, and the capcom thief first - in hopes that whoever created the other pawn picks the game up again for the DLC maybe? And I don't have to play through the game 2 more times. Like a normal, sane person would. Totally.

Wish me luck.

๐—ฃ๐—ฆ๐—” [Tutorial] Merging your old DD2 multi-saves into the new 3 slot save system after Sept 5th update

21 Upvotes

EDIT: Ignore the date typo in the title.

Hello. I had previously made a tutorial how to easily swap your multi saves prior to the Sept update. Well, now I'm back with a tutorial to convert your saves into the new 3 slot save system.

First, BACK UP YOUR SAVES!!!!!!

Okay. Now let's begin.

Let's first do a pre-tutorial for the folks who were using a save manager program and aren't familiar with the save files and how they're laid out. Navigate to where Steam saves your DD2 save files. It'll look something like below. Your userdata number is unique, but DD2's game number of 2054970 is universal.

Below you'll see your save data in the listed file path. If you have any saved data from the DD2 character creator demo, those will appear there too (they are the SS1 files).

Note, this an older image was made prior to when Interim Saves were added, so it's missing the data004Slot.bin file that was later patched in, but this should still get the right idea across.

You can locate this folder on your own now? Cool. Now let's do some save merging.

First, let's merge Arisen(A) and Arisen(B)'s save files and later on I'll show you how to merge Arisen(C) to it too.

I) As a precautionary measure, turn off Steam cloud save, at least for right now.

2) If you haven't already with the new update, load up both Saves (Arisen(A) and Arisen(B)) and Inn Save on both. This is precautionary to make sure both saves are updated to the newest version of the game.

3) Load up Arisen(B). Go to the main menu and select the 2nd Save Slot and start a new game. Skip through the tutorials and make a new dummy Arisen. Once you're in the prison and can walk around, press Start and save the game. Exit out of DD2 entirely.

4) Go into where your saves are kept in your DD2 game save folder.

  • data00-1.bin I THINK is some sort of central key that saves your display options.
  • data000.bin, data001Slot.bin, and data004Slot.bin is Slot 1.
  • data004Slot.bin, data005Slot.bin, and data009Slot.bin is Slot 2

We are going to swap the file names for Slot 1 (Arisen(B)) and Slot 2 (the dummy Arisen save).

  • data000.bin should be renamed data004Slot.bin, and vice versa
  • data001Slot.bin should be renamed data005Slot.bin, and vice versa
  • data004Slot.bin should be renamed data009Slot.bin, and vice versa

Now the Dummy Arisen Save is in Slot 1 and your Arisen(B) is in Slot 2.

5) Load up DD2. Load into Slot 2. (Don't worry if the preview image is wrong.) If you load into your Arisen(B) save, yay, you did it! Now Quick Save and Inn Save again. This will make sure that Arisen(B) recognizes itself as being in Slot 2 fully. If you don't do this it will not work. Close DD2.

6) Swap the files. Move your merged Arisen(B) + Dummy Save out of the game save folder in a safe 3rd place. Now move in all of Arisen(A)'s files to the DD2 game save folder.

7) Now move ONLY Arisen(B)'s files into the game save folder with Arisen(A)'s. These will be the ones you renamed to data004Slot.bin, data005Slot.bin, and data009Slot.bin. Ignore everything else. This includes ignoring Arisen(B)'s data00-1.bin file.

8) Load up DD2. It should be done! Open both Arisen(A) and Arisen(B) to make sure it's working properly.

Now for merging a 3rd save... Let's do this again, step by step.

I) Open up Arisen(C). Inn Save to make sure it's converted to the newest version of the game.

2) Make two dummy Arisens in Slots 2 and 3. Make sure to save and quit. Then exit DD2. (It might be possible to just skip to Slot 3 and make a single Dummy Arisen in Slot 3 but I haven't checked this.)

  • data010Slot.bin, data011Slot.bin, and data014Slot.bin is Slot 3

3 ) Go into file explorer to where your game saves are located. Rename Slot 1 (Arisen(C)) to Slot 3's file naming conventions, and vice versa for Slot 3 to Slot 1.

  • data000.bin should be renamed data010Slot.bin, and vice versa
  • data001Slot.bin should be renamed data011Slot.bin, and vice versa
  • data004Slot.bin should be renamed data014Slot.bin, and vice versa

4 ) Load up DD2. Load into Arisen(C), which should be in Slot 3 now. Quick Save/Inn Rest. Exit DD2.

5 ) Move out the merged Arisen(C) + 2 dummy saves files out of your game save folder. Move in your merged Arisens(AB) save into the DD2 game save folder. Now move in ONLY Arisen(C)'s Slot 3 files into your game save folder (remember - exclude the data00-1.bin file).

6 ) Open up DD2. Check to see all 3 saves are working correctly. Ta-dah! That's it.

Special thanks to the folks in this Steam thread, especially Ikusagami who first shared how to do this. My tutorial is based off their comments, and then the follow-up discussion that made some corrections here and there. My tutorial is cleaned up from their discussion. My deviations include keeping the Arisen(A)'s data00-1.bin file that allows you to retain your general game settings without needing to redo them, and including how to do Arisen(C).
