Speaking of time values, here's an example of the default variables used by the game's coding for time. They cannot be edited whatsoever without crashing the game, and they are unique default values, such as certain time values.

The zeroes are default values for scores. Okay, time for the interesting stuff, Grades and Scores! The hardlevels.dat6 value is for hard mode levels. This also works for hard mode too, it's just a seperate value. You may not be able to do things such as unlocking act 1 and unlocking act 5 without doing the other acts, etc. I don't think you can unlock acts seperately either. When you toggle the first level in an act, it automatically unlocks it. Entering, for example 200,000 on a level's unlock scheme may crash the game (i haven't tested it yet) so just don't do that.Īcts aren't seperate from levels either. Scores are seperate, and not the same for these. Example is that you play the last level in Act 1, you clear it, it unlocks the first level in Act 2 and so on.Ġ = Locked Level (or Act) Also normally, these are locked before you beat a level preceding another. Here's the meanings of these ones and zeroes.ġ = Unlocked Level (or Act) Normally, these are unlocked after you beat a level preceding another. I might try it on another downloaded version of HM2, but for now i don't think you can without it crashing the game.) The last two levels should be The Abyss and Apocalypse.įrom what i know, you can't unlock levels out of order. This is an example of all of the levels unlocked up to the first level in act 5. Okay, now let's get into the good stuff, values and all that! This guide takes into account that you have already cleared the game and have scores on leaderboards that aren't cheated. If you accidentally activate an achievement and want it off of your profile, use Steam Achievement Manager (or SAM) to remove them. This guide also shows how to edit achievements. You must make backups yourself.Įven if steam cloud saving is an option, It is unusable with this game, for some reason. I am not responsible for loss of save data or damages. You will also need Steam Achievement Manager if you accidentally give yourself achievements and want to remove them. This guide shows you how to edit your own file yourself if you have lost data and cannot recover it.

Since the only save file people have used for the game to get all A+ grades on Normal has been deleted, this guide doesn't use that file.

This guide uses a program called Notepad++, which you can install here. Hello! I'm Nema, and i am a person who makes Hotline Miami 2 levels! This guide will not focus on that however, and today we will be looking at how to recover savedata.vfs files after you've just re-installed the game, or you want to get your save data back after you've accidentally deleted it.
