Savegame timestamp utility

What does it do?

This powershell script will alter your save game order by changing the timestamp.

By default, any folder names not starting with a 0 will be ignored.

Is it safe?

If you are asking whether it will corrupt your savegames, the answer is no.

HELP! THE GAME SAYS MY SAVEGAMES ARE CORRUPT!

Hasn't been caused by the script - but you've probably been re-naming folders, right? Just restart the game, saves are read on startup.

Save this script anywhere, then run it in Windows PowerShell to fix your save game order.

What to change?

You can change three values at the top of the file. There are comments explaining what they do.

There's a comment telling you to leave everything below that alone unless you know what you're doing. Ignore that at own risk :D

The default behaviour is that it will only consider folder names starting with a 0, so it won't mess up your in-game save order. To change this behaviour, open the file and change the value of

$nameFilter="0"

to whatever you want it to be.

$nameFilter="0"

will match all directories starting with a 0. Default behaviour. Mine are named like

000_0_TheHeist1,

000_1_TheHeist2,

001_1_Playing_For_Time_Toms_Diner

$nameFilter=""will match _all_ directories in the folder, regardless of how they're called. New savegame order will be by name of folder, and the original creation time will be lost.

$nameFilter="ManualSave-" will match all of your manual saves, but leave quick and auto saves alone

$nameFilter=""

Only consider directories starting with any digit.
