snowrunner-uwp2steam

Tool to migrate the save data of the game Snowrunner from Microsoft Store / Xbox Game pass (UWP) to Steam.

Description

The migration is basically just renaming a number of files which have obfuscated names in UWP storage, and then making Steam aware of them. The "hard part" is discovering the proper file names, which are stored inside a container.xyz file with a proprietary binary format.

Usage

Instructions

1. Have both Snowrunner UWP and Steam versions installed (ideally with the same DLC).
2. Find Snowrunner UWP save location, somewhere like: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\FocusHomeInteractiveSA.SnowRunnerWindows10_4hny5m903y3g0\SystemAppData\wgs\<an identifier>\<another identifier>.
3. Make a copy of it to be safe, like C:\Temp\<another identifier>
4. Disable cloud saves for Snowrunner in Steam.
5. Restart Steam in offline mode.
6. Run Snowrunner and start a new game. Ensure the game is saved.
7. Download the latest sr_u2s.exe tool from the Releases page to any directory (like C:\Temp).
8. Open a command prompt (e.g. Windows key + R, input cmd, click OK), then navigate to the directory containing the tool (like cd \Temp).
9. Run the tool on the copy of the UWP data and write Steam data to a temporary directory: sr_u2s.exe -i "C:\Temp\<another identifier>" -o "C:\Temp\steam_snowrunner_save"
10. Find Steam saves location, somewhere like:%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\userdata\<your Steam id>\
11. Copy the directory 1465360 from the Steam data output directory to the Steam saves location.
12. Run Snowrunner. If all went according to plan, you have recovered your save.
13. Re-enable cloud saves for the game and return online.

Advanced

Skip temporary directories

• Adventurous users can use the original UWP directory instead of making a temporary copy, as well as the final destination Steam directory as arguments of the tool.
  • Steps 3 and 11 can be avoided in this case.
  • Step 9 becomes sr_u2s.exe -i "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\FocusHomeInteractiveSA.SnowRunnerWindows10_4hny5m903y3g0\SystemAppData\wgs\<an identifier>\<another identifier>" -o "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\userdata\<your Steam id>\"

Use from source

• Steps 7 to 9 can be performed by downloading latest source or cloning the repo, then using it as a python module.
  • Install Python interpreter (>= 3.6).
  • python -m sr_u2s -i "<input>" -o "<output>"

Build

Can be built as a Python module.

python -m pip install -U setuptools wheel
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

One-file bundled executable generated with pyinstaller.

python -m pip install -U pyinstaller
