I keep getting SHA1 error, how do I fix this?
only works for BLUS
Colton, use bruteforce ps3 save editor and decrypt the PFD. Youtube it and it’ll all make sense
i’m getting error sha1
and i know how to decrypt the file,but still get error,weird used it 3 weeks ago worked fine and now it wont work
Same here it won’t work on Pre Sequel like it was in the past
Hi Rick, first of all thanks for the great tools you’ve provided us for Borderlands series, much appreciated 🙂
On to the issue: I noticed that when syncing equipment to my character’s level, something else changes too. Namely, the clip size gets reduced when I sync it. I noticed this on Nukem rocket launcher and on a unique shotgun that is dropped by Red & Belly (Striker). Anyone else experienced this?
Not really expecting a yes, but I’ll check anyway–Does this work with saves from the Handsome Collection?
no you have to edit the ps3 save then transfor them to the ps4
How i need help it wont work for me
Just edit a ps3 character the upload via cross save feature. Upload from ps3, download to ps4.
I installed gibbed for pre sequel, and when i try to open the application, i get the loading circle by my mouse, and then nothing happens, i have reinstalled, tried running as administrator, but nothing has been working
I have the same problem. Please help!!!
why does no one ever reply to this problem this happens with all versions so you think you would have fixed it.
Because it has never happened to me, (and many others) with any version, so your argument is invalid
Same problem, first time I have this bug.
Some clues ?
Hi Rick. Every time I try to open a file I’ve decrypted with bruteforce save data I keep getting the same error message “Failed to load save: LZO decompression failure (LookbehindOverrun)” any idea how to fix this?
switch it to the console you are using before you open

What do I do about this?
Hi my game keeps saying that the save is corrupted plus during the modding I get about 4 different error codes all of which are about 387 letters long
I keep getting this error everytime:
Failed to load save: Cannot load XBOX 360 CON files, extract save using Modio or equivalent.
I used modio horizon and all kinds of different programs to extract the files. Still get same error. I also have made sure 360 save was chosen from the drop down menus.
Any clue how to fix this?
Nevermind Figured it out.
my horizon wont work. how did yours
Please tell me how you got rid of your error. I continue to get mine
I have already got downloaded the necessary microsoft program needed to install the editor, i have also checked its compatibility over multiple times and scanned it etc, i have run it a an administrator also but for reason i clicked in and nothing opens up at all. There is no executable file for my computer to actually open? Please help.
this is a nice tool but will it be available on xbox 1 for the handsome collection?

I would like to try an older version if one is available?
NVM i think it was norton killing something
so how do you prevent it then?
I’m getting the following error:
Failed to load save: Cannot load XBOX 360 CON files, extract save using Modio or equivalent.
I’m using Horizon which is what I have used in the past with BL and BL2.
Just like I’ve done with the previous games, I’ve made sure that “X360 Save Files” is selected in the drop down menu.
The same problem was posted 5 days ago on July 28, 2015 and the user appeared to have figured it out but a solution was not posted.
I also would like to add that upon execution of this version of Gibbed, I was required to install the Microsoft .Net Framework 4
I’m not sure if this is relevant to the problem that I’m having, but if so, there you go.
Okay I figured it out.
Gimme a minute to post the solution.
When you extract the .sav from your USB Drive, and save it to your desktop and it’s going to name itself as Sav0001.sav (or similar)
This file (Save0001.sav) will not open in Gibbed no matter what platform you select.
You need to drag Sav0001.sav (or whatever it is named) into the “grey area” of Horizon.
– Click contents
– Right click the SaveGame.sav
– Extract
– Then upload the SaveGame.sav into Gibbed
Uploading to Gibbed:
After selecting the file you want to open, you need to choose what platform the save is for.
There is a drop box located at the bottom right corner of the editor right next to the file selected to open.
Depending on your platform, select one of the following from the drop down menu: PC, X360, PS3
After you have made your personal changes to the SaveGame.sav
– Go back to Horizon.
– Click Contents
– Right click the SaveGame.sav and click replace
– Replace it with the new file you just saved.
Just a hint if your expecting your save file to rename itself after the mod, it won’t (unless you change it manually) until you paste it back into the Flash Drive and play the game.

Hope this helps for anyone who encounters this issue.
Don’t forget to Save, Rehash, and Resign after you replace your file.
Correct me if I left anything else out from this tutorial.
Can someone help me how to make op game save again so its at overpowered 55?
I downloaded it and everything but the application won’t start up at all.
I get the same thing. I’ve re-installed, re-started Windows 7, and run as admin. I have NET Framework 4.0. Why will it not run??
Atheon, I got it to work after discovering an error I made with the *.rar (zipped) file.
I forgot to extract the Assemblies folder to the r33 folder. Once I did that, the executable opened.
Might want to delete your Gibbed folder and re-extract r33. FWIW, I extracted my r33 folder to Windows Desktop.
HTH,

I goto make a new weapon but it will always have none for name and prefix so the weapon dosnt end up working
I recently updated to windows 10, since then the program will not run. I see it pop up in background processes for a second before it disappears. Is there going to be an update that will make it 10 compatible?
I just tried this on version 1.06 including DLC and it works. Thanks so much.

Even though the program opens, it will not save any files or load any files and this is what I’m getting. Idk if it’s Norton fuckin with me or what
As an FYI, BL2 works just fine
Hey,
How do you add DLCs? I don’t see any DLC data to add. Could someone give me a link or something where I can get them?
That would not be legal.
thank you very much
Hi guys,
I’m having a bug that I need help solving. I’m playing through and stuck on Lost Legion Invasion, I broke the locks then saved and quit, and now, even though all objectives are marked as complete, I cannot finish the mission.
I’ve been trying to use your editor to move onto the next mission/restart my current one, but I changed the PlotMissionNumber and ActiveMissionNumber from 1 to 2, but each time I load the game it resets it back to 1.
Any ideas?
I run the game through steam btw.
Hi everytime I try to load my character is gives me Error: Failed to load save reencode mismatch. What do I do for this?
I am suddenly having this issue also. I have been editing my saves for years now with no real problems, so I know the procedures.
I have a save that I have edited many times, but now when I decrypt it and try to get the editor to load it in (using the correct PS3 selection that everybody will jump in about), it won’t load due to “reencode mismatch”.
Any ideas?
im finding lots of error codes as you will see below. not even making gear just leveling up characters so i can be the same level as my friends we are playing on xbox one i am uploading from xbox 360 though if that matters and when i load the flash drive on 360 it says the save was corrupted. here are the error codes. any help please?

I was having a similar error. I extracted BL2 Gibbed and TPS to the same folder…I deleted TPS Gibbed and associated files in “assemblies” folder. They are all the ones with (1) next to them and the three with “Oz”. Then reinstalled to a new folder and it was fixed
Hello. Can you make special program like SAM, but for website cartoonntwork.com. I mean for easy getting all the badges.
Please make it <3
reencode mismatch, each time I try to load the save file, ( Im running windows version ) anybody sloved this ?
im tying to download this on a touchscreen windows laptop thing, but it keeps saying no application found every time i try and open it, it doesn’t allowme to just run it ? help ??
thy
you guys should make a tool for moding badass rank tokens
What you want is a Profile Editor, which does exist.
Your BA points are in your systems profile not the sav file that this tool uses.
that would be great other then that this is very useful
Everytime I try and mod the skill points, and then load up it keeps resetting me back to the default amount, and no matter how hard I try it won’t let me do it
You need to use the Raw tab.
Scroll down to SkillData, then for example adding 5 points to ‘Crocus_Baroness_Huntress.Skills.LongRangeKiller’ you would put a ‘5’ in ‘Grade’.
Do that for each skill you need, then the game won’t scrub them when it loads.
(If you put 5 points in a skill that uses just 1 the game will scrub the remaining 4.)
I can’t get the changes I’ve made to affect any of my saves. When I create a weapon or something and save it, either to the .00001.sav or something like that or a copy of my primary save, and then open the game nothing changes. How do I fix this?
on pc btw
i try to add items to the backpack and nothing happens at all
it wont even start, i have all the stuff i need downloaded but it wont even launch
Weapons and items disappear in game.
The game scrubs anything you may have done that does not match the valid elements.
Some things don’t pass if they’re harmless, i.e. you can make a Teidore smg that has a transparent barrel for kicks.
im doing this on an asus tablet, got as far as extract all files and it wont open the save editor, screen just flashes and opens my windows file explorer and thats it
If you can extract it on any PC you can drop the files/folders on a flash drive, that is probably the best way.
With the new update that was done last night, I keep getting a “Failed to load save; Reencode mismatch” error.
Save Files from Latest Update (Oct. 29th 2015) are unreadable (Error Message: “Failed to Load Save: Reencode Mismatch”) I would assume the same would be true for BL2, as it also got a October 29th, update.
I think a Revision for both may be in order.
I am having this issue too. Commenting so I get notified if there is a response.
Has anyone found the resolve for this I just started experiencing the exact same issue on windows???
Any news??? Are we getting an updated gibbed?
I hope we get a new version soon :/

This needs to be updated. The new patch for the game has rendered it useless.
Hi everyone i have a little problem with the upload for pre sequel at 1.0.7 and the Revison 33 of Gibeed for borderlands pre sequel doesn’t work anymore it sayd “Failed to load save:reencode mismash”
how can i fix that?
Same Problem with the Character Nisha .. dunno how to fix
maybe with a now version son :/
I am having the same problem “reencode mismatch” starting yesterday !0/29/15. Until then I modded my char plenty of times without problem and my athena still plays fine, but I cannot open her with gibbed anymore.
In case it was just a new item, I started a new nisha and had same problem. My old wilhelm save still opens in gibbed (have not played him in a week) so the save editor itself is still working like it used to.
My best guess is that Doc is right about the update breaking it.
Looking for help.
Getting the reencode mismatch as well! It’s because of the game update that came out yesterday. Rick, you are the man for making these editors, but the editors need to be updated now. Please do so soon! You are the man! xD
Having same issue..”reencode mismatch”…Please help us, Rick! You’re our only hope!
has anyone found out anything new on how to resolve the reencode mismatch error when trying to load the character any help would be much appreciated.
I deleted the latest game patch and can edit my characters again without the reencode mismatch error. Unfortunately, now I can’t play online though. I’m the type of person that is constantly editing my guys and changing weapons, so please update the editor for the new patch, please.
When will be the update Rick?
Same here: reeendcode mismatch since 29th October 2015. I have one rather long winded, interim, solution while we wait for an update to the save editor (if one is forthcoming). I found it kinda fun. The mission: deliver upgraded care package to your character in need, should you choose to accept it. Software required:
1. Rick’s Revision 33 (yup, you already got it 🙂 );
2. http://presequelcodes.imgur.com/ (or your choice of Gibbed codes) .
– Create a new character with R33 at the level you require. So if your character in need is at level 60 and you want weapons/mods/shields at 60, create a new character at 60 with Rick’s Gib R33.
– Load up your care package with stuff with the gibbed codes (point 2).
– Sync all in equipped / bank to the level of your new character
– Save in the editor
– Start up the pre-sequel and get the new character to Concordia to load the stash with the upgraded care package ( I used the editor to put some sutff in the bank for the new character as well).
– your character in need can pick up upgraded equipment from the stash
Your new character is going to be at a level well above the start level so you can use the loot to easily shoot your way to Concordia. I found it more fun for the care package to be above the level of my character in need so they would level up to the weapons/mods/shields delivered by the new character.
Delete the new character and rinse and repeat (sincesaving the ne character will then make it unusable with R33 , after the update).
R33 can still upgrade your characer – even if it is no longer so quick.
One important point – make sure when you save a new character you do it with a new slot in the save editor or oyu might over-write a current save
Also, Rick, your software is briiliant. I love it.
