I lost my steam apps again!

Is there any speedy way to get the characters unlocked. For the second time in a matter of weeks I've lost my steam data and will have to go through the tedium of unlocking the games features again. I've been searching online for a character unlocker but to no avail. Is there any reg hacks or tweaks I can apply to hidden files to save me the hassle of grinding arcade mode again?

I've PM'd you a link to download my save file, though I have a feeling it's linked to your GFWL account and won't work.

Replace your save.dat in My Documents > CAPCOM > STREETFIGHTERIV > %random characters% with that one.

If that doesn't work, make sure you back up your save file next time, as it is possible to replace your own save file in the PC version after reinstalling, unlike the consoles...

Edit: Just had a thought, if you have any backups of your PC, you'll be able to retrieve your own file, and that will definitely work.

Cheers Red. I appreciate it greatly

You spent the time unlocking the characters on the pc version?

I'd be very careful using cheat engine if you play any games with VAC. If you accidentally leave it running there's a good chance you'll get VAC banned.

hmm well I've used this plenty of times, most people I know on the PC version have used it too. You only run it once, then everythings unlocked.

However I did not get the game through steam, so I can't comment on that. Although I've not heard of any issues from using this at all.

Ok... I thought everyone knew about this. I've attached the utility you need.

Just make sure you don't currently have a profile saved for SFIV (if you do then just delete it from your games folder)

Run this application
Start up the game
log in to your GFWL account and create a new save
alt-tab out of the game and unlock the stuff you want
alt-tab back into the game
enter arcade mode, die and exit out
let the game save to your profile
exit the game and load it again to make sure everything saved
simples

I used the cheat engine and it worked for a while but then I lost all of the unlocked data again. Do I have to create a new profile in order for it to work? Or do I have to use it again and again

I lost my steam apps again!
