If loading a backup fails to load a file, where you start from the beginning, then exit and reload again. Just make sure to look at the staus bar. If the timestamp is from your backup, then the backup should be loading fine because micrsofts cloud save sometimes still syncs, which can cause conflicts. Otherwise just reload until the timestamp matches with the ones from the backup.
EZAB will be flagged as a false positive by most of the anti-virus since the save file converter maybe because of the read write or folder detection methods. So you have to white-list both exe files.
EDIT: It looks like the lib i removed in 3.4.6a causes the many false positiv triggers in antivirus software, at least it has less now.
Maybe someone has an idea: I wanted to play Avowed with a new MS account and the saves from the old account. Is there any way with EZ Backup to use the save games from the old account on the new? I tried to rename a save game with names from save from the old account but then it crashed with some error. I even compared the file sizes and renamed the largest one in one folder of the the new ones with the name from an old one which was the largest in the specific folder, then second largest and then the smallest. I fear that they are somehow encrypted.
Which ezab version are u using? And do u have an trouble updating ezab? Because the itemlist is beeing pulled from the server and cause of the false positives in the past my server may be black listed aswell so u need to whitelist the connection.
Seemed like all you were getting is gamepass people yelling about not being able to get it to work (shocker), so I thought I'd leave a comment saying it worked flawlessly (*on steam) and really quite easily so I'm very grateful for it. One of the best qol mods I've ever come across and will be using it for many more games in the future.
oh thanks for the confirmation that it works! because i don't have gp anymore so i couldn't test it, but basically it failed to load a backup for some reason. so did u do anything special to get it to work?
Sorry maybe I wasn't clear, I'm not using game pass, I'm just using Steam. I was just saying I wasn't surprised people on game pass were having issues as it can complicate things. When you're using a subscription service like that, these are the kinds of issues you're going to run into. I also have had no issues with defender after white listing the folder.
But yeah, on PS5 you can manually up/download your cloud saves which is a similar feature to this, but you can only have one save at a time in the cloud. It was a feature I really missed when coming to pc so again I'm very grateful this exists! I'll visit your patreon or whatever when I can for sure
ah ok :) that's unfortunate because in the beginning gp worked, where you had the option to choose a local save, but after later patches they changed it somehow or its a microsoft thing, so i also recommended everyone to get the steam version instead ^^
As of 28/03/2024 this still reports as a Trojan despite comments from the creator removing items that caused false positives as of "25 February 2024, 10:16AM"
The false will never be gone completly it's just less than before. You have to live with that and follow the whitelistng guide on the main nexus page (link on the description page) . Otherwise please don't use this tool.
That is almost certainly the Cheat Engine table triggering your anti-virus. They use an injector to get the cheat code into t6he game that is similar to what viruses use.
I mean, i downloaded the cheat engine and didnt get a pop up of a virus, but i download this mod and my anti-virus freaks out giving me 6 trojan's notifications.
most of the files positives came from the dxgi.dll for the lies of p in game cheat commands (which is not included anymore) the rest is common virus behaviour like access to registry (startup on windows), file delete (i want to keep the files clean), monitor your save folder, appdata folder for the online gamelist having other 3rd party dlls for overlay draw, save manipulation for lies of p and so on.. so yeah just trust your av and use another tool if you mind ;)
The Updater.exe is already updated and should have much less false positives now since this is and older. U can scan both exe for ur self at virus total. Otherwise follow the guide on the ezab main page at nexusmods mod section (link on description page) on how to whitelist in windows
1. If you want to convert a file to game pass then create a game pass profile otherwise the default steam profile. 2. In the converter u should alrdy see the slots of either the steam or game pass profile. 3. Select a slot you want to replace and on the other side browse for the save file and click on either > or <.
I may update the tool tips to make it more clear, but you can watch the utube video that should be understandable apart from the missing step 1
Hello, could you teach me, whether by text or video, how to get my GamePass save and transfer it to Steam? Because I'm BR, it's more complicated to understand how mods work and I'm afraid of ending up ruining the save files. :)
i updated the how to convert on the main page to make it a bit more clearer. But unfortunately since i don't have game pass and deinstalled the game, i cannot show it anymore. It's important to update EZAB to the latest version (3.4.8a)
its has an auto updater if you have any older version installed. And from now on i've set the main page in the modding tools section of nexus mods. Since the previous downloadable version was too old to my likings, and uploading a new version would always take time to review the file again, so i will only upload new main versions to the modding page, instead of each "game page" of nexus. The link is on the description page.
I tried converting the steam saves from here to gamepass but it just starts at the beginning of the game when I try to load it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I think they changed synch behavior you have to disable ur internet once first, then after ur in game u can turn back on. After that it should work just fine,without needing to turn it off.
And update to the latest version (click on the green arrow)
Unfortunately it still didn't work. Unplugged my ethernet cable, reconverted the save and launched the game. Still starts back at the beginning. Maybe the steam saves are bad? Or does it need the steam profile to work?

Thank you!
