I'm experiencing a crash on run. Renaming my data folder causes DROD to run fine, so it's probably a problem with my player files. It might be related to crashes I experienced yesterday related to Cloud Sync. I can provide .dat files if necessary.

Yikes! Yes, it appears that one of your .dat files has become corrupted. I doubt we can repair the actual file, but I'm betting that you can perform a cloud sync on fresh .dat files to get everything back.

That's too bad, as the Cloud Sync didn't manage to complete before the crash. It looks like TSS got uploaded fine from my CaravelNet page, but my other saves haven't. I have a player file with all those intact though, any way to merge that with the cloud save of TSS?

Yes, I think so.
1. Import that player file, with all holds already installed.
2. Export the saves from this player profile to disk.
3. Delete this player profile.
4. Get your cloud profile.
5. Import your saved game file from disk.

Now everything should be present in the installed player profile.

I managed to get everything back in one profile, but I'm seeing wrong secret percentages in the Change Location screen. TCB for example is showing 58 percent while it should show 100 percent. I vaguely recall this issue being reported before, but I'm not sure.

Yes, we have had this issue before, since 2.0, probably. This might be fixed in 5.0.1. Can you try this process again in 5.0.1?

Edit: considering the TSS hold caveat mentioned in this thread.

I already did this on a fresh install of 5.0.1, so this definitely isn't fixed.

So is there a way to get my correct percentages back without beating the secret rooms again? (there are a lot of them) It's been bugging me for a while now. ;)

Sorry, Tom. I don't know what the root cause of this issue is, so I'm not sure.

That's a shame, but don't worry about it, I'll just beat them again to please my inner completionist. (I might even get some better scores in the process)
