CrossCode has two save systems. The old system (before 0.8.2) stores all saves in localstorage. Due to size limitations this was changed to a file-based save system. This new system stores save data in the cc.save file.
Version 0.8.2 has a savegame bug on MacOS and Linux. The Windows exclusive Environment variable appdata is used. Version 0.8.2-2 replaced this with nw.App.dataPath.

Savefile and Localstorage format[ | ]
The format of the save storage is a JSON:
Format overview:
{ "slots": [ {savestring_slot1}, {savestring_slot2}, ..., {savestring_slotX} ], "autoSlot": {savestring}, "globals": {savestring}, "lastSlot": {slot_number}}| Element | Description |
|---|---|
"slots" | Array (List) containing all saves, starting with Slot 1 |
"autoSlot" | Containing the autosave |
"globals" | Containing all global data |
"lastSlot" |
Example:
{ "slots": [ "[-!_0_!-]U2FsdGVkX1+K8a2HlAKS...5329sQ69bTU5quQ0UGjIt6DG45kxwJZD", "[-!_0_!-]U2FsdGVkX1/sl4dQyBgHx...jbIn4tmVHPt0ZCxi9ElniMHI13xGxQk", "[-!_0_!-]U2FsdGVkX19zOTWR9ynkq...HZczzbAOZZuyviB4nzTKAdqYcaBEbIU" ], "autoSlot": "[-!_0_!-]U2FsdGVkX19qIZAUL2kZ...Ox8t/0yfkRouUdgaCFWrMT8jup", "globals": "[-!_0_!-]U2FsdGVkX19YItQieykUU...xuFzHg4oeyhlJRR5/CRA/NBE8o", "lastSlot": 0}Savestring[ | ]
A savestring containing the actual save data. Every String starts with [-!_0_!-] and is base64 encoded. The decoded result is a AES-256 (CBC mode) encrypted JSON. The password used to encrypt and decrypt the data has been known since May 2016 and can be found in the source code of the editors below.
The game is using CryptoJS to encrypt and decrypt the data.
There are multiple ways to decrypt a Savestring:
| Method | Info |

Openssl | Remove [-!_0_!-] from the StringEncrypt: Decrypt: |
CryptoJS | Remove [-!_0_!-] from the StringEncrypt: Decrypt: |

Switch version savegame differences[ | ]

Instances of multiple language data have mostly been replaced with just the one chosen language.
