    hello,

    is new gibbed save editor version coming out for the skins that are being released today? i would hate to have to buy that cheap crap.

  2. Harv says:

    Hello all. Love the tool. Just confused as to why you can raise your character and gun levels above 61, but the game doesn’t recognize it.

    • Kyle says:

      You have to have the Ultimate Vault Hunter DLC pack… If you don’t have this, then your game will have a level cap of 50 as opposed to a cap of level 61. This is probably why your game isn’t recognizing the level 61 character.

  3. Ender says:

    @ Harv – Because the system is designed to allow for more levels, but they are not programmed into the game yet.

  4. Alvin says:

    says it failed to load my xbox 360 consolde save and that i must use modio to extra or an equivalent of modio, I used both modio and horizon. Please respond ASAP.

    • Angelman180 says:

      Like I said with Ron: Select what platform you use BEFORE YOU OPEN IT! That part is on the text of the save file. EXAMPLE: SaveGame [Platform: Xbox 360]

  5. Davell says:

    Since the new patch came out today just having a problem when I modd and load the class i’m modding with it resets all playthrough quests. Don’t honestly know if this is a problem with the program or if it is something on gearboxs end just thought I should let you guys know.

  6. Dude says:

    So why can’t I create a grog Nozzle? All the fields are empty when I try…

    • Wisecarver says:

      1) Please note everyone will suspect your are Gibbing. The Gearbox forums are getting locked about this already.
      2) Top field must be Dragon Keep.
      3) Weapon Pistol type must be Maliwan, not Hyperion like most thing it is.
      Hope that helps…

  7. Ron says:

    I keep getting this error http://prntscr.com/1dajhh I exported from modio & horizon. help?

    • cheezy says:

    Clarified missing asset library set exception message.

  9. Angelman180 says:

    I have a bug to report.

    I have created my level 61 Maya, and made the equippance of the guns Up and Left.
    The Jakobs D.K. Assault Rifle (Citrine) on the Left equip was locked out, and it showed a locked equip slot and the gun in it, because I dunno how to add Weapon Equip Storage Deck Upgrades.
    When I put one of my other guns (A Maliwan SMG, to be exact) in the Down equip of my equip inventory, it automatically drops it.
    It was only until I unlocked the Bank in Santuary until I can even find out it’s name! (Names come out blank when you first have a created gun.)

  10. Sistin says:

    Can you be banned on xbox?

    • Wisecarver says:

      From what the Gearbox talk in the forums is I’d say that is true, but it is not true for PC users.

  14. Youmissmoe says:

    I extracted Savegame and Save0004 with Modio. I open your editor and I select the platform xbox360 and attempt to open both. Only Savegame can be opened. I attempt to change the Savegame file then save it using your editor. I then went to Modio where I extracted the Savegame and I add the Savegame file which it asks me to replace the current one which I accept. Then I move the USB to XBOX 360 and load the game and it says nothing has changed and its still the same save with no contents changed. Please Help.

    • MV says:

      I’m having the same problem. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong but I’m just not sure what. Are you supposed to be able to load the Save000X.sav files with Gibbed?

      • Residualrich81 says:

        Also having the same problem. Load items into my bank and backpack. Save and all. Then when I load into my game nothing is there. HELP!

  16. cheezy says:

      • boosah says:

  17. curtis says:

    it keeps force closing on me

  18. DarkKurk says:

    It wont even let me Open it all it says is Gibbed.borderlands2.saveedit has encounterd a problem and needs to close. we are so sorry for the inconvenience do i need a certain thing to open it? .-.

  19. (PSN) LeoRaven 94 says:

    I keep getting a “Failed to load save: invalid SHA1 hash” what does this mean?

    • (PSN) LeoRaven 94 says:

      I’m using PS3 if that matters

      • MaVeRik says:

        are you using brute force to decrypt?

        • Eazeh says:

          Not that guy, but I’m getting the same problem.
          What happens, in full;

          >Use Bruteforce (version 3.8.19, I’m fairly certain) to decrypt my save.
          >It says successful, but disc hash key wasn’t found, using backup.
          >People tell me that’s fine, ignore it, I do so.
          >Download Gibbed’s revision 179 (ie, this one).
          >Open save, select type “PS3 Save Files”, since that’s what I’m playing on.
          >Failed to load save: Invalid SHA1 hash.

          Moderately infuriating, since I just want to upgrade my weapons a little, and as far as I can see (vague internet FAQs and help forums/fora), I seem to be doing it right? :/

  26. Azazel says:

    ok first time here after a while of using the old gibbed never had a prob iv been trying to figure out why I keep getting the cannot open xbox 360 con save I keep seeing choose the right platform even after choosing xbox360 as platform im still getting it ill walk you through what I do I open horizon then open my game save in it extract the sav. and save it in a folder I then open gibbed I press open to open file pick fole I want then hit platform xbox 360 as soon as I hit open bam I get the xbox con file cannot be opend can someone tell me wussup

    • Zilla says:

      All Xbox 360 players are having this problem. Seems the editor isn’t excepting the new patched saves from Xbox Live. Guessing Gearbox has found a way to patch the files so that Rick’s editor won’t recognize it and we must await Rick’s response on this one 🙁

    How do I input the Goliath Head code in my backpack? Every category under “New Item” that I try gives me the red outlined box for the “Type”. For example, GD_Assassin_Items_LootChest2.Assassin.Head_LootChest2, is always invalid from the drop down list in Base Game and all DLC’s.

  32. TrippDaRipp says:

    Okay so i am extracting my file and it wont oppen in gibbed, it says unsupported file or w/e what the french is going on??

    • f33d13ack says:

      Did you decrypt it with “BruteForce”?
      When you open your save with gibbed, are you selecting the right console format? In the same screen where you click on your save to open it – in the bottom right corner there is a drop down tab that says “PC save”, click it and you will see xbox and ps3.

    Rick, just so you kno the izo_32.dll file is currently seen as a virus by avast antivirus. I cannot determine why.

      Not my problem. Tell them to fix it.

      • VDOG says:

        The thing is i cant download the program it keeps redirecting me, the link or upload is broken

    • Rueghn says:

      Just go into your avast settings, go into the “Maintenance” section, then on the left sidebar click Virus Chest, Restore Izo_32.dll and delete it from the Virus Chest. Then go into “Security” and on the left sidebar go into Antivirus, then into File System Shield, click settings in the top right corner, go to “Exclusions” and add the r179’s “assemblies” folder to to the list, For Example: C:\Users\Rueghn\Desktop\saveedit_r179\assemblies\ is the filepath I have added to the Exclusions list.

      Run the program should get no more Izo_32.dll errors.

  49. Yokai says:

    PC user, build r179. All seems to be working well with this version. I’ve been away since before the Hammerlock DLC. Took a couple chars that were at TVHM complete (level 50) and used the editor to give them 500 eridium to buy some of the new inventory/ammo upgrades. Also messed around with legendary mods for one of them. Also created a Binary Grog Nozzle for one of them. Also copied a save file for use by my gaming partner who just started playing so that we could play through UHVM together.

    No problems, everything works as expected. Thanks so much for all your effort on this, Rick. Your tool makes a game that is otherwise too hard for casual players into a game that is playable and enjoyable by casuals. You need a donation link; I’ve looked all over for one. 🙂
