Rescuing Your Legacy: Fixing PES 2013 Corrupted Save Data Few things sting like seeing "Save data is corrupted" after putting hundreds of hours into a Master League or Become a Legend run. In Pro Evolution Soccer 2013—arguably the peak of the series—this error feels like losing a piece of football history.

But don’t delete that file just yet. Whether you're on PC, PS3, or Xbox 360, your career might still have a pulse. 🛠️ The "Edit Bin" Reset (PC)

The Quick Fix: Navigate to Documents\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2013\save.

The Strategy: Move the EDIT.bin file to your desktop and restart the game.

The Result: If the game boots, your save files (ML/BL) are likely fine; you just need to re-apply your option file or settings. 💾 The "File Replacement" Trick pes 2013 save data is corrupted fix

Part 4: The Nuclear Option (Reinstalling Patches Correctly)

Most "corrupted save" issues among PES 2013 players actually stem from wrong patch order. If you are tired of fixing, wipe the slate clean.

Method 3: Move Saves to "Program Files" (The Compatibility Fix)

Sometimes, the Documents folder is completely inaccessible to the game due to OneDrive syncing or security policies. You can force PES 2013 to save directly inside its installation folder, which usually bypasses these restrictions.

Steps:

Go to your installation folder (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\Pro Evolution Soccer 2013).
Create a new folder named Save inside this directory if it doesn't exist.
Copy your existing (corrupted or uncorrupted) save files from Documents\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2013\save into this new folder.
The game will now look in this folder first. This method is widely considered the most stable way to play PES 2013 on modern PCs.

Step 3: The "Create New EDIT" Workaround

If EDIT.bin is corrupt but you want to keep your Master League:

Delete the corrupted EDIT.bin.
Launch the game. Go to Edit Mode. Change one tiny thing (e.g., a boot color) and save. This creates a brand new EDIT.bin.
Crucial: If your Master League was started with a specific patch, you must reinstall that same patch before loading the save. A vanilla EDIT.bin will not work with a patched ML save.
