Does this still work?
MentalMars
Yeah you can still edit your save files with this tool
Inviktus Red
Hey, I am using the latest version I can find on github (a334c91 @ 10/31/2017 19:24) and am getting the “Failed to load save: reencode mismatch” error.
Inviktus Red
It works. My issue was that I dragged the new files into an existing BL2 Editor folder. When I made a fresh folder, it worked just fine.
Khro
so your “save editor” made it to where my blcmm cant hexedit anymore. tell me how to fix it
MentalMars
1) Not my “Save Editor”
2) ‘Game save files’ and the ‘community patch’ are 2 different things that don’t overlap
3) The new game update broke BLCMM, yes the team is working on a fix.
Ryan Anderson
“yes the team is working on a fix.”
Yay! =)
Thunder
after using this to make me backpack bigger i find that i am stuck in a glitch to where my backpack is stuck at 18 and i can not find anyway to fix this
Cody Edwards
Every time i use either the BL2 save editor or the BLPS one, it really fucks with my pc, as well as it never saves and takes like 5 minutes to load when i click open. Can i have some help?
Adam
How can I put the ammo back to normal after modding it?
Guilty
Are you planning on an updated version for the Commander Lillith and the fight for Sanctuary DLC?
MentalMars
I didn’t make this tool, I’m just providing a guide on how to use it. So if the update breaks the tool then it’s up to Gibbed, if I can textually add additional information to help you get the new stuff, then yeah.
Katie. (@DarkSeductress)
Does this work with Xbox One saves or will I have to plug my 360 in and get the save off there?
willpower97
Hi the Bruteforce dependencies file isn’t showing up when i click the link to download it any way i can access it? I cant seem to run Bruteforce without the file, thanks
SeemsLegit131
You will need to download either brute force (psn) or horizon (xbox) to edit the saves on console, there are a lot of videos on how to do this.
Ps cheers for compiling a bunch of info in one place Mental Mars, actual legend.
Xander Cage
So when will the save editor be updated to include the Commander Lilith DLC?
Ryan gardner
Hey how do I make my badass tokens basically unlimited?
Richard Wells
I can’t get the bloody thing to work. I used to have an older build that worked fine but with this one, I can’t import my saves, nor can I (apparently) create new ones.
No matter what I do, they become “level one” characters,just starting out.
Scout that dieded
so dose this have the lilith dlc or not i was woundering cuz i want to make weapons
Scrappy
When I create skins for mechromancer, it doesnt appear, I use dlc settings
ROSANA
ITS NOT WORKING FOR ME ANYMORE, IT DONT SAVE, WHEN I PUT IT BACK ON XBOX 360, ALL MY STUFF DISAPPEARED.
Delitokyo
Does this work for the Epic Games version?
ronaldo gaucho

MentalMars

AkzoForce

Trea Wright
