Anyone knows how I can transfer my save from game pass to steam ?

Welcome to the forums! What do you mean by “save”?

3

my game files, my character, builds etc…(idk how to explain and my english is bad)

Okay, I’m assuming this means that you initially bought Conan Exiles on Game Pass and then you subsequently bought another copy of Conan Exiles on Steam.

What you can transfer with minimal hassle are your settings (e.g. your keyboard mapping).

If we’re talking about single-player game, then it’s possible to do it, but you would need to fiddle with the game database in some tool like SQLite Studio.

If we’re talking about your online character(s) on server(s) where you used to play, I don’t think it’s possible. You have two different FLS accounts now, and I don’t think that Funcom has any established procedure for proving that you own both and migrating one to another.

yes I want to transfer my singleplayer world

You can copy your “save” directory of your old game file directories to where the game is going to located for Steam. Once you copied the files/database, you will be good to go. I do that same procedure for server testing of issues on Single Player.

I’m not sure just copying the game database will work, since the character in the database is associated with the account, and the FLS account ID should be different. That’s why I said some amount of screwіng around with the database using SQLite Studio (or a similar tool) would be necessary.

I’ll post an explanation of how to do it later. I don’t have any of the stuff I need on my office computer and I don’t remember the exact table names off the top of my head, so it’ll have to wait until I’m back home from work.

Okay, I have a way to do it that should be easy. These are the steps:

  1. Find out where your Game Pass version of the game is installed on your drive. (If you’ve already deleted it, you’re out of luck, because your save file is most likely lost.)
  2. Find out where your Steam version of the game is installed on your drive.
  3. In one File Explorer, open the folder where your Game Pass game is install, then go to ConanSandbox\Saved folder inside it.
  4. Look for any files with the extension .db, like game.db and dlc_siptah.db.
  5. Copy those files to the ConanSandbox\Saved folder in your Steam installation of the game.
  6. In your steam installation of the game, open the file Game.ini from the folder ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor in an editor (e.g. Notepad).
  7. Look for the section called [FuncomLiveServices]. Right below that line, there should be a line that starts with CachedUsers=(MasterAccountId=" and then a bunch of numbers and letters ending with another quote.
  8. If you can’t find that line, close the editor, start your Steam version of the game and wait until you’re in the main menu after the game has logged you in, then exit the game, then open the file in the editor again and the line should be there.
  9. Note the numbers and letters you see between the quotes after the MasterAccountId= part.
  10. In the ConanSandbox\Saved folder of your Steam installation, create a file called tranfer_acct.bat and inside it write the following text:
@echo off
for %%f in (*.db) do (
"%~dp0\sqlite3.exe" %%f "update account set user = 'REPLACE_THIS'"
)
pause
  1. Replace the part that says REPLACE_THIS with those numbers and letters you found in Game.ini. For example, if the Game.ini line was:
CachedUsers=(MasterAccountId="1234567890ABCDEF",TitlePlayerId="02468ACE13579BDF",PlatformId="123412341234123412",TitleDisplayName="Fenrixx#12345",UserToken="12345678123456781234567812345678")

then the corresponding line in transfer_acct.bat should be:

"%~dp0\sqlite3.exe" %%f "update account set user = '1234567890ABCDEF'"
  1. Once you’ve saved the file transfer_acct.bat, double-click on it.

This should do the trick.

However, just in case something doesn’t work out, make sure that in the step 5 you copy the files and not move them, and don’t delete the original files until you’re sure the procedure worked correctly.

Sorry if this looks like weird gibberish, this is the best I can do for instructions at the moment.

Good luck!
