F1 23 Corrupted save file

@yungrickettts  If you can locate your save game file in the games directory.  You can make a back up. Delete and reinstall the game. Then add the save game file. I know it can be done but how I don’t know.  Fortunately I know a  Msn that does @SteveJackson 

These files?

AFAIK there is no way to back up the setups other than exporting them to Steam Workshop or using screengrabs. The latter is the only way for camera and controller settings.

But progress on a save is lost when that save is corrupt.

Won’t help. It’ll still read corrupt. 

Sorry. 

What is screengrabs?

Nevermind I found how to bring everything back

If you can post what worked for you or mark another post as the solution this helps the community greatly, thanks.

@SteveJackson 
so essentially, what you want to do is navigate to the "Documents\My Games\F1 23" folder in your C drive. Once there, make a make a copy of the "savegame" folder. Afterward, open the F1 game and select "create new save file. Then, go back to the "savegame" folder, navigate to "ea\profile," and locate a file, named "NXDSMWW.BWW" or somet similar lengthy name (it might vary for each person) Copy and paste this file back into the F1 game This particular file contains your settings, setups, and my career progress. Repeat the process for the "highlights00," "001," and "002" files, excluding "midsessions0" because I assume it might be the corrupted.  

hope this was clear. 

Thanks for posting back.

That explanation is fine except the filepath is incorrect

The files are located in the Steam profile

(will add from PC)

This method will not save the mid-session save.

However, this method will be good if it will save setups etc. 

I will also add caveats after replication.
