Can corrupted saves be fixed with HEX editing?

[Lizzy]

I have a massive 6.55GB corrupted save that won't load in Fallout 4 at all x_x

I guess it's huge because it was recovered from my old drive?

When I looked at the HEX identifier with a "free" large HEX editing tool, one of the numbers of the signature was off compared to another save.

 

Other than that, I don't know anything about HEX editing at all!

Would someone who understands it be willing to look at the file? I guess I could throw it up on a torrent or something.

If that throws up red flags for people, I'm also willing to screenshot Fallout 4 on the Steam screen.

Actually, let me do that now. See here:

Sooo, does anyone want to help? So many settlements I built! A week for Spectacle Island! Personal face edits for all companions

The answer to your question is no, it can not be saved by hex editing.

 

Any save file bigger than about 20MB indicates severe damage. Over 6GB is just insane.

 

You are going to have to go back to an earlier save.

 

Sorry about that.

Sorry but what you are asking is not possible.

 

There is no way to fix a save game using a HEX tool.

 

And a 6GB save game means that the file is just corrupt and not usable.

Sorry about that.

Thanks for answering! Yeah, there are no earlier saves ._.

Looks like no more Fallout 4 for awhile. That's too depressing..
