  4. tom says:

    love the save editor btw, having a problem using modio to put the modded save back onto the memory stick after having used gibbed. Can no longer use horizon for some reason it just doesn’t work. Any suggestions or links to tutorials would be appreciated.

    • Jay Shaft says:

      That is also happening to me on my old Axton save files. I wanted to go back and use them without having to play through the game again. I get this error every time I try to open them up in save editor after I complete a few missions and go through several save points. I can open them up at first, but after about 30 minutes and a game shutdown they refuse to open up in editor.

    • DOMIN8 says:

      Try repairing or re-installing your .NET Framework 4.

      • Chris says:

        I have re-installed my .NET Framework 4 and I am still having this error
        ( I have gotten the editor to work on my computer before if that helps )

        • Jesper says:

          Try using the quick fix in horizon…
          Think your save file is corrupted (I could be wrong).

  10. Jay Shaft says:

    I am unable to open my PC save file after I play through several save points and change maps. This only seems to happen on old save games I had from last year. So far on a new save it does no seem to happen. It gives me the “mismatched” error. The save still works in-game, but I can’t open it up in save editor after about 30 minutes of progress when I have leveled up for the first time after lvl 50.

    • DOMIN8 says:

      Are you sure you are using R230?

      • Jay Shaft says:

        Yeah, I just d/led it again and reinstalled just to make sure. I don’t have any problems on 2 new character saves, just my old Axton and Maya. Also it seems to only happen on my old saves after I pass lvl 50 and then do a bunch of quests and edit my weapons the first time.

        • Jay Shaft says:

          I switched out my profile from yesterday and now it will load my games. Might be that I had a corrupted profile and that was causing a mismatch. I’m going to replay the last two missions then try to edit the save again after I level. I’ll find out in about 30 minutes if I still get the “mismatched” error after the first time I edit then play. All I usually do is level up all my gear, I don’t mess with anything else, or not very often anyway.

          • Jay Shaft says:

            OK, finished the Data Vault mission and I can still open and edit my save file. Looks like I had a corrupted profile/save from trying to use Cheat Engine to edit my backpack size.

    • kenny says:

      I downloaded this program at least 15 times already and when I click on the icon to run it, it does nothing….any solutions?

      • Satvir says:

        If you have net. Frame work installed restart if not try this:

        1) remove network work
        2) restart your PC
        3) reinstall
        4) restart

        And see if this works if not open it up and hold (ALT+CTRL and press delete) and check on the process if it’s running in background it may be due to using memory but taking time to show up.

  11. rob says:

    i cant get the mod tool to run on my computer

  12. Angryglock says:

    Just a heads up. Got this error this morning finished the new DLC yesterday.
    System.FormatException: unknown asset library set 20 in packed data (this generally means new DLC that is not supported yet)

  13. Jed says:

    The programme is not opening, I run it as admin and it does not do anything. Help?

  14. DW says:

    Fantastic editor… pity Norton now flags as a virus/trojan and kills it immediately : (

  15. Adian says:

    When I attempt to open the file from WinZip it errors and says “Gibbed’s Borderlands 2 Save Editor has stopped working”. I have no idea what to do.

  16. KC says:

    I’ve updated tp R230, but it’s still saying “Failed to load save: Invalid or Unsupported Version”. What do I do?

  17. adf says:

    hi. I am using modio and I can etract files and stuff. but after I try opening it , it does not work. and also I made a file from scratch and tried putting it on my flash drive through modia and it says wrong package or something like that. help how do I get this stuff back to my Xbox?

  18. balance127 says:

    So, I downloaded the gibbed save editor and it just won’t open. I’ve tried all kinds of ways to try and run the program, but it just won’t open.

    • Satvir says:

      Have you tried re-installing net.framework and then restarting your PC, if not open up task manager to see if its listed in the process or run as admin if that helps.

  19. BlasterBoy says:

    Whenever i hit sync it always does nothing and puts the thing back to one. i know this is wrong somehow.

  20. wyz2285 says:

    The past code is not working when I click it… and after I save the file nothing changed in game… πŸ™

  21. Juudai says:

    I cannot open my borderlands 2 PS3 save file thought the editor. it saves “invalid SHA1 hash” . i’m wondering if its because i havent updated my game in a while and this is the newest version?

  22. Pierce says:

    Extracted using Horizon AND Modio and still getting Cannot open CON message. wtf?

  23. Kris says:

    When ever I put in a com from digistruct peak it say unlike item help

  24. zac says:

    i am trying to download this in linux mint with wine. it wont install. it loads as if about to run the .exe but then abruptly stops.

  25. Abe says:

    Does this work on windows 8? It won’t let me open the program. Let me know if its fixed.

  26. Abe says:

    Let me be specific, it won’t let me open the program.

    • zac says:

      I seem to be having the same issue with this as you. Though i am using linux mint, wine allows the downloading of programs otherwise microsoft exclusive. i too cannot run this program. when i extract the files and run the .exe, it fails without an error message.

  27. Pierce says:

    Alright, now it saying my files are corrupt. What am I doing wrong?

  28. Anders says:

    When i Put the ps3 save back and load then say the game Its broken save

  29. Aaron says:

    Newb here. I keep getting this “object reference not set to an instance of an object” when I go to replace file on horizon. Any suggestions? Thanks

  30. BALSKI says:

    out of curiosity, since the new BL game will be on the same engine will you be making a save editor for that as well?

  31. Yazeed says:

    Hi , can you Add the badass rank hack in the next update?

  32. Jacob says:

    Just downloaded revision 230 of this save editor, extracted it and then tried to open it, but for some reason it wont open for me.
    I have windows 8 and I already have the NET framework 4 thing downloaded on my system but it just wont open for me.
    Any ideas??

  33. David says:

    The tool opens just fine for me and opens my saves correctly. When I try and add a weapon or make any modification and save it doesn’t actually do anything. I open my game and load my character and everything is the same.
    Any advice?
    I have Borderlands 2 GOTY edition.

  34. damien says:

    i keep getting a failed to load save: reencode mismatch

  35. Marcus says:

    Hi, I love your site, but have a question…

    How do you get the Community Day heads and skins, as in adding them as items. This doesn’t seem to be available in the drop-down menu for adding items. Is there any way to get an older version of the editor and do this?

    Many thanks

  36. Abe says:

    How do you use the weapon data thing in the raw section?

  37. Random_Gamer says:

    Hi Rick! Thank you for your work!

    I tried your program once to improve my backpack capacity many months before. It worked fine.

    But today, I downloaded and tried the latest release you provide and nothing happened: after having browsed to locate my savefile the program just keeps me waiting until it freezes.

    Is it due to game updates (Headhunter DLCs and so on)? Or am I the only one to get this problem?

    Thank you in advance!

  38. Yamilex says:

    cool i want to level up

  39. Heilo says:

    First of all, thanks for this editor and for the continuous updating. I’ve problems to load the save πŸ™ Long ago, with r122 or thereabouts, there were no problems. But from a certain update onward, the editor didn’t load the save… If I load the “SaveGame.sav” file, it says “Failed to load save: invalid or unsupported version” and if I load the “Save0001.sav” file it says “Failed to load save: cannot load XBOX 360 CON files, extract save using Modio or equivalent”. Now, I use horizon to extract and I don’t think this is the problem because it worked with the older version (r122 or thereabouts) so… Where’s the problem?
    Plus, I’ve another question. Why, if I keep the created weapons in the equipment or in the bag when I turn off the game, they are deleted? Put them constantly in the bank was a nuisance. If this thing has been fixed in successive updates, I don’t know πŸ™

  40. Alex Harmon says:

    hi when i try to load a savegame it says “Failed to load save: invalid or unsupported version” what can i do to fix this?
    contact me at alexharmon2010@live.com,

  41. Cody says:

    JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! With the recent patch we can no longer use black weapons, but ive been thinking is it possible to just delete all the update data and just use version 1.0? I understand Iwouldn’t be able to play online or use dlc, but just to try out some black weapons would it work? If so, would I need an older version of Gibbed? I appreciate any info I can get at all, I have been searching for quite some time and haven’t found a thing about this.

  42. Heilo says:

    I’ve another couple of questions if possible. Is there a way to mod badass tokens, increase the value of health/shield and bag slots? Maybe in the Raw tab? I haven’t understood very well how that section works yet πŸ™

    • DOMIN8 says:

      If you are on Xbox or PC you can mod BA Tokens, Stats, Rank, Golden Keys and Unlock all customizations. You’ll need a different program than Gibbed though as that data isn’t stored in the save file. You technically can’t mod Backpack/Bank slots because there is a sanity check on that but, you can add as much stuff as you want.

  43. Marcus says:

    A question for Domin8 or any of the other knowledgeable people on here…

    I’m trying to get the customisations for Kreig/Goliath head and Gaige/HippetyHop head. I’ve tried to do this the same way I got the other things added with the Raw tab, using:

    Psycho
    Type: GD_Psycho_Items_LootChest2.Psycho.Head_LootChest2
    Balance: GD_Psycho_Items_LootChest2.BalanceDefs.Psycho_Head_LootChest2​

    Mechromancer Head
    Type: GD_Mechro_Items_PN2.Mechro.Head_PN2
    Balance: GD_Mechro_Items_PN2.BalanceDefs.Mechro_Head_PN2​

    But they don’t seem to show up? Anyone know why?

    Many thanks if you can help.

      • Marcus says:

        Thanks Domin8, but I’m doing this exactly, and the others are showing up, but not these two. Is there anything further I have to do, or anything that makes these different?

        • DOMIN8 says:

          Are you loading this save up in another person’s lobby? If you are the host they may not show up. They will also disappear after saving and quitting too.

          • Marcus says:

            No, it’s definitely just these two. I’ve tried several times now. Just to see, I put these two PLUS one of the Community Day ones in, and only the Community Day one shows up. It feels like these two codes are wrong. I’ve got the hang of what to do, but these two just aren’t showing up, and I’m not sure why.

          • DOMIN8 says:

            I’m sure those are the right strings. I just checked on my PS3 and they are there. What system are you on? If you are on PC or Xbox just use the Profile editor.

          • Marcus says:

            I’m on Xbox – the profile editor is GPD, right?

          • Marcus says:

            This feels really weird, because I’ve tried this several times now, each time putting in different on3esusing the same method, just to test it. The test items always show up but these two for whatever reason never do.

          • Marcus says:

            Domin8, are you still offering that modding service? I don’t mind paying for it. And I didn’t ant anything over the top, just stuff for solo play…

          • DOMIN8 says:

            Sure… Just post in my thread on 7S.

          • Marcus says:

            Will do, thank you!

          • Marcus says:

            Great, finally got the 2 skins I needed by using one of your saves! You rock! πŸ™‚

            Still interested in a custom character so I’ll post over there at 7Sins…

  44. Kitsune says:

    So i used the editor and added some skill points, and saved it
    but when i start the game and load into my character it still says i hav 0 skill points
    can anyone help me?

  45. wmxp says:

    Hey Gibbed, any time frame on an update to this amazing editor to support that latest DLC? It’s been a couple weeks since it was released, and I’m just a little sad when the “unsupported version” message pops up. I imagine perhaps, since this is the final DLC and there will be no more updates to the game, you are trying to put the extra polish on a final update for your editor? I appreciate you have a life outside of programming this super freeware for the borderlands community; we are all very much in debt to you. I was just curious if you had an update on your plate right now, or if it’s been pushed to the back burner. Either way, thanks for all your hard work. πŸ™‚ Do you have a donation page up somewhere fans could contribute to?

    • Rick says:

      It’s been supported for months, I’m not sure why you would be getting such an error.

      If you’re interested in donating, you can contact me directly at my e-mail for further details (you can find my e-mail in license.txt).

  46. Uniphication says:

    Hi, I’m having a problem that I can’t seem to find how to fix anywhere. I’m on PS3, and I follow every step necessary to modify my game save- decrypting with Bruteforce, then changing the file in Gibbed, then encrypting again with Bruteforce. However, every time I do this, and I try to put the file back into my PS3, the game save is completely unchanged. Even when I check the file in Gibbed again after seeing the file unchanged in my PS3, it still appears modified in Gibbed. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks πŸ™‚

    • DOMIN8 says:

      Are you actually loading the save up all the way into the game? The description of the save doesn’t update until you do that.

  47. lima says:

    great tool no need for a trainer or any kind of hacks;) thanks for the wonderful work you have done here:)

  48. Themrkenchy says:

    Hey can anyone give me a link to all the gibbed codes please?

    Great by the way but I am finding it a little confusing when making class mods, grenades, relics and shields

  49. Pyro says:

    Everytime I save it, it becomes a pc file, but I’m modding a 360 file…

    • Steven says:

      Thats because you are saving as a PC file or modding as a pc file. make sure when you are saving you are clicking the dropdown box near the right lower part of mthe window, and click 360 File.

    • DOMIN8 says:

      If I remember correctly it was an item that never made it into the final game. There is no information in the game data for it.
