try it without the \main

Also take the Documents folder out of OneDrive. That programme causes more problems …

[Kess9215]

dang it, I copy/pasted the wrong thing, but I wasn’t working without the \main.

what made it finally work was using the dropdown to go all the way back to the beginning and reselecting the correct directory.

I also ticked the options for “xfer items between SC and HC” and “xfer soulbound items between chars” but I’m not sure that had anything to do with my issue.

[Kess9215]

aye. that was one of the things I did. I also used regedit to disable OneDrive completely. couldn’t stand that program.

I have been using GDStash for years and currently on the 1.3 playtest branch and 1.8.2a. I wanted to try out the Messenger Repeater and noticed it gives the wrong stats (+6 and 40% WD to Belgo Shears) and no +4 to Night’s Chill. Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever seen the wrong rolls on anything.

I tried rolling back to 1.2.1.6 and deleting GDStash folder for a clean import but no luck. I also tried multiple old saved versions of GDStash like 1.76, 1.78 etc but they all show the same thing.

Any ideas? Cheers.

Did you reimport the GD database?
Every update to GD, you need to reimport the database from within GDStash.

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

those aren’t wrong stats, that’s the v1.3 stat changes to repeater

[gavin19]

Completely wiped the GDStash databases each time then imported from scratch. I also completely deleted Grim Dawn and reinstalled clean (1.2.1.6) from Steam, then tried again but fresh 1.3.0 install. Nothing changes.

V1.3.0 Playtest Changelog

The v1.3.0 playtest has begun! This is a massive backend update that introduces significant changes to UI and prepares the game for the upcoming Fangs of Asterkarn release. As such, if you are planning to participate, we Strongly recommend that you BACK UP your C:\Users\your-username\Documents\my games\Grim Dawn\save directory. In addition, as this update overhauls the stash, we recommend NOT using any stash utilities, at least until such a time as their creators have a chance to review the cha…

if you import the data, then it should reflect the current GD data (the one you had installed at the time of the import)

[gavin19]

Yeah it did show the old version with Night’s Chill if I reverted to 1.2.1.6 but when I went to 1.3.0 the weapon would change to the one I linked above in the screenshot. I only noticed it right off because it’s a dual-wield melee WPS on a ranged 2-hander. Unless 1.3 will allow for WPS regardless of weapon type or it’s a bug or I’m totally missing something.

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

v1.3 adds a modifier that enables what you see
you can take dual blades and belgo shears (only) with that rifle, and make a gunner NB
just like other items enable “unfititng” skills (stormrend = 1h primal strike, spellscourge = devastation)

[gavin19]

Now that’s a really cool change. I hadn’t even settled on a secondary yet but NB it is. Cheers

I’ve got a few lvl 100 characters, and I don’t feel like leveling a couple more that I already have all the lvl 94 items for. I use cloud save, but I am considering (first backing up my saves), turning off cloud saves, using GD Stash to change those guys to lvl 100 (Can I also just do all the quests in ultimate?), then removing GD Stash and re-enabling cloud saves.
Should that work just fine?

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

you don’t need to remove GDstash/GDstash issue with cloudsave doesn’t have anything to do with that, it’s just about the way the game handles the saves in the save folder. As long as you don’t rename a char, and isn’t ingame, you should be able to edit with cloud saves on still.
And if you do use local saves temporarily, you can’t just copy paste your saves back into the steam save folder, they have to be imported, or it wont read them if they got changed without it “noticing”.
^Likewise when you turn cloud off you’d then need to move the saves to actual local saves/documents save folder first
(just turning off/on cloud doesn’t actually do what people think, it changes save location on your PC/“cloud” still saves to the PC just in a different folder, so flipping switch = saves need to be moved to match)

Ah. Okay, so if I don’t change cloud save at all, but install GD stash, don’t rename the characters and just alter a couple, then delete / stop using GD Stash, I shouldn’t have any issues?

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

i’m saying you don’t have to delete GDstash, you just can’t use it while the game/char is running, because it loads stuff from memory when the game is in world.
it’s not that GDstash doesn’t “work” without cloud off, it’s just a lil extra hassle sometimes
(and if you do turn cloud off it’s not mere a settings, you have to move saves to new folder to match)

Ok, so just to be sure, I can:
Not disable cloud save
install GD stash
modify a couple characters while not playing the game
uninstall GD Stash (I don’t plan on continuing to use after changing a couple characters)
Continue playing Grim Dawn as I was before
?
I’ve never used it before and just want to make sure I don’t mess anything up

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

yes that should work afaik,
cloud save folder doesn’t prevent the use of GDs itself, the game is just wonky the way it saves the changes vs what gets read from the folder (ie certain stuff doesn’t work like renaming iirc)
And then the note is just if you turn cloud off to not deal with that wonk, you have to actually move saves forth and back yourself /it’s not just a “steam online switch” but a file and folder location swap function

changing to level 100 should work without problems, apart from you using cloud save, which has the tendency to ignore changes on your HD and instead use the cloud data, thereby undoing any changes you made.

You cannot change quests with GD Stash, you can copy over the normal / epic data to legendary however and get the quests that way
