After launching in 2020, Risk of Rain 2 quickly went on to become a go-to roguelike for many fans of the genre. With its fast-paced combat and solid gameplay mechanics, it went on to garner a huge and loyal following, something the first Risk of Rain was unable to do. Now, years later, Risk of Rain 2 still continues to be a great roguelike title. And mods, in particular, have been very helpful in enhancing the fun of the game. However, as per reports, it seems like the save mod for the game isn’t working properly. So, in this guide, we have shared all the details on how to fix this issue for good.
There’s mainly one save mod for Risk of Rain 2: Proper Save. While a save mod like this one tends to defeat the purpose of a roguelike, it’s something many players prefer to use. Now, it’s particularly hard to find a cause for this issue. Anything from a corrupted game/mod file to an update could be the cause here. So, since finding the cause is like finding a needle in a haystack, here are some workarounds for you to try.
Risk of Rain 2 save mod not working: How to fix it?
Since there’s no official fix for this issue, you will have to try the following workarounds. So, go ahead and try these and see if any of them are of help.
Update –
The very first thing that you should do is update both the mod and the game itself. This method alone can help you fix a ton of issues, so try this one before any other method. Now, if even after updating, the issue continues to exist, we suggest trying the next workaround.
Restart –
If updating doesn’t help, try the restarting method. While there’s no guarantee it will work completely, we recommend giving this method a try. However, in case restarting doesn’t work out, try the next fix.
Verify game files –
The issue here could be the game’s file too. Simply put, a missing or corrupted file might not let the mods work properly, including your save mod. And the only way to fix this is by verifying the game’s files. If you don’t know how to do that, just follow the instructions below:
Epic
- Launch the Epic Games Launcher and click on Library.
- Now, select the three dots on the game’s tile and choose Manage > Verify.
Steam
- Open Steam and navigate to Library.
- Next, find Risk of Rain 2 and right-click on it.
- Select Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
Know the basics –
Some players seem to have the wrong idea about the Proper Save mod. While the mod is certainly able to do what it’s intended to do, you can’t just try to save anywhere. The Proper Save mod can only save at the start of a stage. So, if you are trying to save anywhere else, it will not work at all.
Reinstall –
If none of the aforementioned methods were of help, we suggest you use the reinstall method. You can start by reinstalling the mod itself. If this doesn’t help, move on to reinstalling the game and checking if that gets rid of the issue.
Well, that’s all the information we have on this issue. While we are on the topic of mods, if the game isn’t launching with mods, check out this guide. And, for more guides like this, keep following DigiStatement. Also read: Risk of Rain 2 not using GPU: How to fix it
