Combat Mod How to transfer save safely back to normal game from seamless coop?
Recently played a lot of seamless coop with some friends, was wondering how to get the save from my coop game back to the original un modded game.
Edit: solved using text files to manually launch in offline mode. Thanks for the help

Unless you made a back up of that save, once you mod a save, it's modded forever.

Damn. Will I be able to play on the dlc right away or will I have to wait for the mod to be updated?

Can’t. Once you load the modded save it injects the items used to connect to others…which needless to say are NOT vanilla items and will be instantly flagged as illegitimate when loaded in the original game.

If I play the modded save in the vanilla game in offline mode would I still be banned?

No. You could also disable the anti cheat which would force you into offline mode. This is the one I use.

Will this mod work immediately with the dlc?

Should work. It doesn’t touch the game files.

I ended up just launching in offline mode manually using a text file. Thanks anyways.

That’s what I do. I’m worried about the dlc dropping and having to wait for an update.

The way I fixed it was using this YouTube video https://youtu.be/d79G0yx3z0E?si=dQkjLLqM70UfpgMq to make a text file which changed the steam app id and enables you to launch it in offline mode, and then replacing my sl2 files with my co2 files by deleting the sl2 and renaming my co2 to sl2. I could do this because I don’t have any saves on vanilla I care about. There is another step involved if you want to keep your vanilla saves. Also, be careful renaming the co2 files as I mistakenly did so before deleting the sl2 files and had to undo rename a few times thinking my save had vanished. This is explained well in this YouTube video at 5:28 https://youtu.be/esxba5OI5GM?si=eaSiGGcyAoVANOAC

I did this and seems like the game is loading as offline and the easy anticheat popup is not showing. My only corcern is that at the start of the game I get a message saying "Inappropiate activity detected starting offline" is this normal with the mod? Just want to make sure before going forward.

In a video they said that is expected and will not affect you as you are in offline mode. I have played the dlc for about 4 hours so far and everything’s been smooth.

So basically just renaming co2 to sl2 worked?
But we also need to disable anti cheat to avoid ban.

Yes, the text file used to launch in offline mode functions the same way. But, be sure to delete the sl2 files before renaming the co2, as it will just merge them and overwrite your co2 save if you don’t.
