ER Save Repair v1.0
Recover supported damaged Elden Ring PC saves or move a save to another Steam account. Open your file, read the recommendation, and save a separate copy.
Windows x64 • English / Russian • Free and portable
No hex editor or separate .NET installation required. Saves are processed locally and are not uploaded.
Keep a backup of your entire save folder. Recovery is limited to supported cases and cannot recreate erased character data.
Features
• Guided recovery with plain-language recommendations.
• Repairs for supported save-file errors and specifically recognized damage.
• Account transfer using the destination account's SteamID64.
• A backup overview to view characters listed in another save or backup.
• Automatic verified backups and checks of exported files. Your input is never overwritten.
Quick start
1. Close Elden Ring and keep a separate copy of your entire save folder, including any ER0000.sl2.bak.
2. Download v1.0 using Manual Download, extract the ZIP, and run ER Save Repair.exe. Vortex is not needed.
3. On Recover a save, choose Find my saves, choose a file, or drag in a .sl2 / .sl2.bak.
4. Read the recommendation. If a supported repair is available, create a new copy and follow the result page's instructions to test it.
SteamID is only needed for account transfer. English is selected on first launch; Russian is available from the language selector.
Saving a copy does not automatically replace your active game save. The game needs the filename ER0000.sl2 in the intended account's folder. Preserve the current files before replacing anything.
How to use the result in the game
2. Open the intended account's save folder. The usual location is:
3. After backing up the existing files, place the result there under the exact name ER0000.sl2. A name such as ER0000.repaired.sl2 is an exported copy; the game will not use it under that name.
4. Check which copy Steam Cloud will synchronize so it does not replace your intended test copy.
5. Load the intended character and check the location, inventory and progress. Save and load again. Keep your original backups.
The app verifies the file it writes; it does not launch the game or verify gameplay.Move a save to another Steam account
2. Enter the destination account's 17-digit SteamID64, not a nickname or profile URL. Use Where can I find my SteamID? for help.
3. Choose Save copy for this account and a new output file.
If recovery is required first, create the repaired copy, then choose Move this copy to another account on the result page.
Transfer changes account links. It does not repair unrelated damage, restore missing progress, or downgrade a save format.Troubleshooting and compatibility
• No automatic repair / another copy is needed: try another save or backup. Unknown damage is not repaired by guessing.
• Save surviving character data: read the affected character list first. Already-erased entries may be hidden; missing character progress is not restored.
• Backups → Export this copy: copies that file as it is, including existing problems. It does not repair or merge characters.
Supports recognized Elden Ring PC .sl2 saves and .sl2.bak backups on Windows x64. Console saves, unknown or modified formats, and version downgrades are not supported.
Testing includes generated files and a limited set of real saves. Some recovered results were reported to load successfully in the game; compatibility with every damaged save or game version is not established.
For a bug report, include the app version, the game's App Ver. and Regulation Ver., a screenshot of the recommendation, and when loading fails. Keep the original and all backups; do not post saves publicly unless you intend to share their contents and account identifiers.What's new since the original v0.21
• No external hex editor or keyboard/mouse automation.
• Guided recovery without manual character-slot selection; all ten slots are checked.
• Additional guarded recovery for specifically recognized damage and surviving character data.
• A separate account-transfer page with SteamID help.
• Verified backups, exported-file checks and a backup overview.
• A compact English/Russian interface with a remembered language choice.
• A portable Windows x64 release with the runtime included.Support the author
