Problem: You are receiving a save data corruption message. This can happen when you have both games installed and play one after the other.
Solution:
We are modifying Fall of Cybertron in this tutorial, but the same steps can also be taken for War For Cybertron on TWFC.exe.
Note: Your FOC Transprofile and Customchar will now save in%Game Install Location%\Transgame\Savedata
.
1. Navigate to %Game Install Location%\Binaries
.
2. Right click TFOC / TFOC.exe and press Create Shortcut. A shortcut is now created.
(Or Right click > Show more options > Create Shortcut if you are on Windows 11).
3. Right click the new shortcut and press Properties. In Target
add -nohomedir
at the end so that it reads TFOC.exe" -nohomedir
It will not work unless both the
(space) and -
dash are present. Press apply.
4. From now on, Launch FOC from this shortcut FOC will no longer be corrupted. Repeat these steps for WFC if that game is still recieving a save corrupted message.
