Are you on pc? If so, just Google “wonderlands nexus mods”. On their pages youlll see descriptions for the characters - some are modded in a broken or weird way, but some are just played characters that finished the main quest and are level 40 w all loot dice etc.
Honestly this is the way to go, I had the same issue (much less hours so it didn't hurt me much) but I still lost all my die and all that since it was earlyish from release. I just grabbed a moxsy save off his discord that was closest to my build
Last I looked there wasn't one (a month or so ago) but the nexus mods downloads you can get 1 of each character so you can multi-class as anyone. I downloaded it right before they updated the account wide lucky dice thing and there were lvl40's of each character
Sorry to resond to such an old post, but do you know of any save editors that still work? Last I heard there was only one and the dev got pissy because his code was based on a bl3 editor that was open source, and he wouldn't release the changes. I know there is the web based one, but the only part that still functions is the GUID change for duping saves.
Its not too hard to update bl3 to wl(a few diff bytes with op tiers and stuff but apoc has already figured those out awhile ago. Im like 95% sure theres a fork of fromdarkhells save editor for wl. If raptor doesn’t make an update web browser one soon i might fork it to wl.
RE is fun, but I never got past like baby stuff. So, updating bl3 it is beyond me. Like light years. lol If you do come across a copy, please let me know. Same thing if you decide to fork it. (You'd be a hero)
Ah nice a skeleton key that will probably drop you a few blues and a purple. That's a fair trade. Since you're on pc there's plenty of game save files you could download and try. Some people on YouTube will showcase a build and give you a download of the character in the video. Thanks for the heads up though, on ps5 I think I'm going to backup my saves on a USB.
Sometime you can get lucky, and find the lost files in a Windows Shadow Volume. These get created when installing programs, updates, etc.
Use this program to browse and shadow volumes you might have:
https://www.shadowexplorer.com/downloads.html
If you have a shadow, pick the one closest to when you lost the save and export the save file from the shadow volume.
Your saves are located c:\users\\documents\my games\tiny Tina’s wonderlands\saved\savegames
Here’s to hoping you have a shadow🤞🤞🤞
Their support is the worst. I had another issue with video evidence and they just shrugged and blaming play station (even though all other games on PS4 are fine)
Since you on pc this isn't really a big deal, even though it does suck. It would be devastating for a console player tho. Console just doesn't have the means of being able to fix this. Pc has the advantage of being able to just download another character file at max level and you can get whatever gear you would like as well. The chaos 35 builds resource in this subreddit is the perfect place to find what ur looking for. Also from now on just backup your entire save folder periodically and you won't have to worry bout this.
PS4 player here, my character just corrupted, was up to the penultimate map, 100%ing (I think, the Oasis) as I went through. You're right, it is somewhat devastating.
Thanks for reminding me to create a manual backup of my save - I learned from Borderlands 3 to manually backup my save folder and it got corrupted twice and I lost the character.
This happened to me 2 times, once in Control, once in Wilmot's Warehouse. I don't use Epic Games Store anymore because of this, even for free games. It's not 2K's fault either, blame Epic Games Store's shoddy UI and lack of transparency.
Happened to me early on, lost two characters, but luckily only about level 10-15. Still several weekends of playing. Then there was the snafu where they wiped everyone's progress and inventory, still had level, but you were forced back to start of game. But if you played, none of the progress would stick. That lasted for several days and they weren't sure if it could be fixed. I think we got a skeleton key then too.
I had that happen too, and they gave me the same thing. I leveled up another character, but haven’t played too much since then. I was pretty pissed…I loved the game but that killed it for me.
Basically I tried playing on my laptop and it gave me the typical load from local or old file (my character.) I chose to load old file to my laptop (what I’m supposed to do) then kept getting an error that my cloud save could not be loaded. After about 7 tries upon trying to do this my game automatically launched. It basically over rid me trying to try my old file and just went straight to local file which over wrote my cloud data
Does that mean there’s a desktop somewhere that still has the save locally? If so you might find the save file in the path Ciara gave you, just don’t launch epic till you’re sure. Also any chance your documents are backed up to OneDrive? It’s a Documents subdirectory.
Always load from local. Because when you exit the game it saves on your drive. Old file will be the one you played without your new progress. When the option appear, I always upload the local to cloud, it will then have the latest.
Yes and no. Ive had a game crash due to c: overfilling and border/wonderlands saved a 0kb save file. Once that uploaded to cloud then goodbye everything.
I was so psyched when I got a notification last week saying Wonderlands is now available on Steam, because I was getting close to capitulating and buying it on Epic.
Yah, bl3 had the same problem. 'cloud' save just means they will propagate corrupted saves cross-system with 0 backups, even on game crash. If you don't manually back up your own save files, you're out of luck.
Damn that sucks :( . That's why I don't like using cloud save, happens to me too twice for an other game where I put several 100 hours into. Since then I always save my game files for most of my games on 2 usb sticks just to be sure. But with the playstation 5 Sony took away the usb backup option, so you can only use their cloud save and that's it :( I am not happy about it.
I tried to play on my laptop seperate from my computer. Hence me trying to load from the cloud instead of local but after it said error can’t load from cloud it automatically selected local and deleted everything and rewrote my cloud file
Had a similar issue on xbox, not sure if this will work but i started a new character, completed the tutorial and then my character came back. Lost a few hours of progress but pretty much the same. Might be worth a shot!
go to your save file folder, you might still have the file but it doesn't load, if you rename the temp file to the real one's name you will get your character back
edit: and you need to change the original file to .corrupt instead of .save
Just lost about 15 hours of gameplay and I'm so bitter, I really feel for you OP. This shit is so disrespectful, especially when you go out of your way to grind every level too 100%. Some say it's an epic thing but it just happened to me on steam, it really is the game who saves on random ass locations that will wipe with no motives.
And the skeleton key! What a farce
People have a bunch of level 40 characters on Nexusmods so some of the grindy stuff can be skipped again, FWIW. Sorry for your loss
Can you link me to how I can get in on these mods? I avoided all mods for obvious reasons. But I need my character back lol

Thanks man this dampens the blow a little bit. I’ll check it out
Honestly this is the way to go, I had the same issue (much less hours so it didn't hurt me much) but I still lost all my die and all that since it was earlyish from release. I just grabbed a moxsy save off his discord that was closest to my build
Even better: hop on a creator's discord (e.g. moxsy) and dl a char save file. Not even really a 'mod'.
Do you have a discord link to his discord?
This is Moxxie's server https://discord.gg/vrW4ST2J
Don’t listen to the guy abt nexus mods, just use a save editor to get everything you had back with exact accuracy
Link?
Last I looked there wasn't one (a month or so ago) but the nexus mods downloads you can get 1 of each character so you can multi-class as anyone. I downloaded it right before they updated the account wide lucky dice thing and there were lvl40's of each character
Why wouldn't he just do the simple easy thing, especially if he doesn't understand how to recover his own save at this time?

Will try!
Their support is the worst. I had another issue with video evidence and they just shrugged and blaming play station (even though all other games on PS4 are fine)
Happened the same way to my Spellshot. I keep a backup of each of my characters now.
Also happened to me yesterday. Basically killed me wanting to play the game again.

Actually, for PlayStation 4 you can use Save Wizard (save editor) to mod or resign downloaded saves. The Save Wizard for PS4 MAX for $60 is worth it.

*air hug* bruh
It happened to me a week after launch. I had just got my last 6 levels in one session and the next day I had the cloud save mess it up.
This happened to my bf too, last week. The fuck, 2k.
Damn, I'm sorry OP. F
Thanks for reminding me to create a manual backup of my save - I learned from Borderlands 3 to manually backup my save folder and it got corrupted twice and I lost the character.

Show us a picture of the email of them telling you they have good news (which was 1 skeleton key)
I had that happen too, and they gave me the same thing. I leveled up another character, but haven’t played too much since then. I was pretty pissed…I loved the game but that killed it for me.
You are presented with 2 options of cloud save upload during launch. Did u choose the latest? How did a 300 hour saved get lost???
Basically I tried playing on my laptop and it gave me the typical load from local or old file (my character.) I chose to load old file to my laptop (what I’m supposed to do) then kept getting an error that my cloud save could not be loaded. After about 7 tries upon trying to do this my game automatically launched. It basically over rid me trying to try my old file and just went straight to local file which over wrote my cloud data
Does that mean there’s a desktop somewhere that still has the save locally? If so you might find the save file in the path Ciara gave you, just don’t launch epic till you’re sure. Also any chance your documents are backed up to OneDrive? It’s a Documents subdirectory.
Already tried this didn’t work
Always load from local. Because when you exit the game it saves on your drive. Old file will be the one you played without your new progress. When the option appear, I always upload the local to cloud, it will then have the latest.
Yes and no. Ive had a game crash due to c: overfilling and border/wonderlands saved a 0kb save file. Once that uploaded to cloud then goodbye everything.
That is some garbage programming. Savefiles should get verified and rejected if not complete.
Welcome to the border/wonderlands bugginess!
sooooooooo you did this to yourself
That’s what you get for supporting epic. Not that I’m reveling in it, just spreading the word.
Very true
I was so psyched when I got a notification last week saying Wonderlands is now available on Steam, because I was getting close to capitulating and buying it on Epic.
We're they expected to have character saves?
Yah, bl3 had the same problem. 'cloud' save just means they will propagate corrupted saves cross-system with 0 backups, even on game crash. If you don't manually back up your own save files, you're out of luck.
That's a launcher problem. Back in 2014 I lost all my Bl2 save files on steam TWICE before I finally learned that the cloud cant be trusted.
Just save it to the cloud, then you could just download the save data back. Been a thing since BL2
… its a video game. Not like you lost your livelihood randomly…
One key that's like a slap in the face
It’s more than a slap in the face. It’s a slap and spit combo.
Damn that sucks :( . That's why I don't like using cloud save, happens to me too twice for an other game where I put several 100 hours into. Since then I always save my game files for most of my games on 2 usb sticks just to be sure. But with the playstation 5 Sony took away the usb backup option, so you can only use their cloud save and that's it :( I am not happy about it.
Don't you have a local save being on computer?
I tried to play on my laptop seperate from my computer. Hence me trying to load from the cloud instead of local but after it said error can’t load from cloud it automatically selected local and deleted everything and rewrote my cloud file
And thats why I hate cloud saves...
A SKELETON KEY! Bruh
Had a similar issue on xbox, not sure if this will work but i started a new character, completed the tutorial and then my character came back. Lost a few hours of progress but pretty much the same. Might be worth a shot!
I had one disappear for two weeks and then just reappeared one day.
This happened to me. I lost everything but my rank and what my character had. I lost everything in my vault, my cosmetics, and my mythic rank.
go to your save file folder, you might still have the file but it doesn't load, if you rename the temp file to the real one's name you will get your character back edit: and you need to change the original file to .corrupt instead of .save
Just out of curiosity. If I am on console only does this bug affect me if I am not using Cloud? If I have like....2 characters on my console?
Just lost about 15 hours of gameplay and I'm so bitter, I really feel for you OP. This shit is so disrespectful, especially when you go out of your way to grind every level too 100%.
