NieR:Automata saves the player's progress to three save slots of their choice,
numbered 0 to 2.
The slots are located in %PERSONAL%\My Games\NieR_Automata, with the following
names:
SlotData_0.datSlotData_1.datSlotData_2.dat
As mentioned in the Experience Points & Levels documentation, the level is inferred from the EXP. Rather than the level being saved in the slot, it's the current EXP value that's being saved:
| Offset | Variable Type |
|---|---|
0x3871C |
Unsigned integer |
Upon patching, the library backs up the save slot and then patches it. Backing up is done by copying the selected save slot to the following destination:
| Base Directory | Backup Directory | Backup Subdirectory |
|---|---|---|
%PERSONAL%\My Games\NieR_Automata |
NieR.EXPer |
<GUID Value> |
