[Tool] GD Stash

[FOE]

I installed GD stash today (it’s not the first time I try this tool, I used it couple years i think and it was working fine). I followed your main post for the config. I copied all my items into DB then emptied some of my stash. I tried to transfer back some items and it doesnt work at all. I rebooted my game and GD stash tool, exited to main menu to see if something happened between trasnfers. Nothing worked and on top of that GD stash somehow deleted my current lvl 70 char in HC elite and replaced it with a lvl 1 girl I never created!
When i saw that I quickely removed the cloud save option on steam and closed the game.

Why does not anyone just read through the documentation?!
(Folder doc where you installed GD Stash!)

There you can read:

If you use Steam Cloud saving, do not edit any files while running Grim Dawn and wait a few seconds between closing GD and editing the files in GD Stash.
Based on feedback I recevied, this seems to avoid most of the potential pitfalls of cloud saving (I do not use cloud saves).

You can always store items in GD Stash while playing Grim Dawn with cloud save enabled, but do not change the Grim Dawn files (stash or char) while playing. Also see the FAQ for more details.

I would like to know how can I get back my char and my stash before uninstalling GD stash (or how make this tool work properly), But mostly I want my char back and my items.

See here: How to - Move your saves from Steam cloud to Grim Dawn’s default location. … I hope so!

Edit 2: I never touched the character editor part, I just wanted beter way to manage my items.

And that works IMO great with the tool!

I use ist since release without problems.

Documentation is for chumps. Who’s got time for documentation? I don’t!

Thx for the quick answer !
I actually checked if DG stash worked with cloud save, Havan’t what documentation you quoted but i looked on the web because i remembered 2 years ago cloud saves has to be unchecked.
I will try to get back my char, thx for the usefull link.

just to be clear here, the tool did none of this, it always saves the files correctly and anything past that point is outside of its control. You using cloud save is the problem here. That being said all of this can be fixed

I would like to know how can I get back my char and my stash before uninstalling GD stash (or how make this tool work properly), But mostly I want my char back and my items.

the tool always makes backups of the files it changes. For the stash it is transfer.t## (or h##) or the char player.g## where ## is a number. 00 is the most recent backup 01 the one before that and so forth.

So rename them back to their original names to get your files back. If the error already is in 00, try 01 and so forth.

Doing this with local saves is probably easiest as there is no second set of data (the cloud) that can interfere with this

I never touched the character editor part, I just wanted beter way to manage my items.

then either the char problem is completely unrelated to the tool or you removed items from the char inventory in it, which also changes the save file.

The answer depends on whether you find any player.g## files, if none exist this had nothing to do with the tool.

I redowloaded my cloud saves, all back in place

I wanted to use cloud save because last time i played GD i was using your gd stash tool with cloud saving removed and at some point i had to reinstall windows and i lost everyhting. I get it the mistake was on my behalf, using cloud saves.

Thx for the help though.

See the FAQ, you can use cloud save with the tool, but need to be more careful than with local saves (otherwise I would not allow cloud saves in the tool at all). You can store items while being in game, but should not change any files at that point. Only make changes to the files in GD Stash when GD is not running.

With local saves there are no such restrictions.

I dowloaded the Windows 32 bit executable, there is no doc folder in the zip, just a .exe

and in whichever dir you install it, there is a doc folder

ok, next time i’ll know

I’m attempting to import again and I only got an error about heaps?
How do I increase the heap sizE(since I saw you suggest that earlier)?

see the faq, use 64bit Java, which avoids this entirely, run the .bat and before that make sure the path in it matches where your java.exe is

[Moreus]

Alright. I’ll try running 64 bit since it apparently installed 32 bit by default. Thanks again and sorry for being a bit of an idiot.

The error message indicates you might not have a 64-bit version of Java installed or that you need to run the .bat file located within the GDStash install dir.

If you use the .bat file be sure to edit it to point to your 64-bit Java.

Thx i didnt notice that the bat was pointing to the 32bit version works fine with 64bit.

Hello All,

I need help with the Char Editor feature. I believe to have added the right Dir locations correctly on the Configuration tab, afterwards I did save and import the Database without any error messages (nothing obvious anyways ). My problem is when I’m at the Char Editor tab, after I select the desired Char to be stat edited, after I alter whatever stats I wish to change from that Char, after I am done, click save and go back to the game to check if anything changed it didn’t and it doesn’t as I may have reconfigured the numbers over on the Editor.

I am currently using the latest GD Stash version 1.1.8b, I also did try to fix the Char Editor by using grim dawn’s versions 1.0.1.1 & expansion version 1.0.2.1 to no change on the issue. Also note that when switching from one version to another I did alter install directories as both versions are installed on different locations, after doing so I also always re-save and re-import on the Editors Config Tab.

Thank You for your help

are you using cloud save ? If so, only edit the char while GD is not running, this should fix it.
If you use local saves this always works unless you are playing that char in GD at the time.

Thx i didnt notice that the bat was pointing to the 32bit version works fine with 64bit.

it points to the 32bit version as the 64bit never has this issue, it always works by just double-clicking the jar file, so there is no need to increase the heap space for it

I am using a local save, I also did try both ways of updating the Stats,
one by having the game closed and running it after editing and saving, and
editing and saving it while the game is running and when I am logged in to the
char and also when I’m waiting on the menu before login in to a Char.

Problem still persisting.

And just as additional info,

• I am using the latest version of java 8 - 151.
• I tried the same things on Win 8.1 & Win 10 (x64 versions)
