Aliens: Dark Descent save file incompatibility

korgano opened this issue · 1 comments

Tried using the latest version to edit a save* from Aliens: Dark Descent, and got the following error:

Found non-standard magic: [ed, c0, da, 71] (   q) expected: GVAS, continuing to parse...
Error: io error: failed to fill whole buffer

Caused by:
    failed to fill whole buffer

No idea what's going on here, but I'm providing the .sav file to help you figure it out.

CampaignData.zip

*The game as multiple .sav files, some dedicated to specific maps, so that could possibly be part of the problem.

This save has some kind of compression or encryption applied which would be a game specific modification. I would expect to see some plain text strings in the save if it were a standard UE save file. At a glance I don't recognize any compression headers like LZMA or Oodle, which seem to be the more common types of post processing applied.
