Wrestling Empire Save Bytes Here

The Verdict: Possible, but Niche

Unlike major AAA sports games (like WWE 2K24) where "Save Wizards" and hex editors are common, Wrestling Empire handles data differently. The "Save Bytes" scene for this game is manual and rudimentary.

Here is the breakdown of the situation:

4. Roster Entry (2 bytes)

Byte 0: Wrestler ID (0–127 for base game, 128+ for modded/created)
Byte 1: Bitfield – 0x01 (injured), 0x02 (heel), 0x04 (face), 0x08 (out of promotion)

What To Do If Your Save Is Already Corrupted

If you ignored the warning signs and now Wrestling Empire crashes on load, all hope is not lost. Try this rescue sequence: wrestling empire save bytes

Offline Mode (Switch only): Put your Switch in Airplane mode. Some corruptions are tied to cloud sync conflicts. Launch the game.
Delete Only the Settings File: On PC, delete config.ini but keep Career.dat. The settings file can corrupt the save byte allocation without harming wrestlers.
The "Start New, Then Load" Trick: Start a brand new career with default settings. Save it. Then, without closing the game, go to Load and choose your old corrupted file. This sometimes forces the engine to reallocate bytes correctly.
Last Resort – MDickie Forums: Mat Dickie himself (the developer) is active on Twitter and the official forums. Upload your corrupted save file; he has been known to manually repair byte errors for fans.

2. Save File Locations

| Platform | Path | |----------|------| | Steam (Windows) | C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\WrestlingEmpire\ | | Android | /data/data/com.mdickie.WrestlingEmpire/files/ (requires root or ADB backup) | | iOS | Contained within app sandbox (requires device backup extraction) | | Switch/Consoles | Encrypted save archives (not directly editable) |

The main save file is typically named:

booking.bin – Booking mode save (promotion management)
career.bin – Career mode save (single wrestler journey)
wrestlers.bin – Global roster/workshop data (Steam)

How to Check Your Current Save Bytes (Platform-by-Platform)

Unlike a PC where you can right-click a file and see its size, Wrestling Empire hides this metric. Here’s how to assess your risk:

On Nintendo Switch:

Go to System Settings → Data Management → Save Data Cloud.
Find Wrestling Empire. Look at the "Save Data Size" line. If it is 64MB or higher, you are in the red zone.

On iOS/Android:

Go to your phone’s Settings → General → iPhone Storage (or Apps on Android).
Find Wrestling Empire. Look at "Documents & Data." If this exceeds 150MB, expect problems.

On PC (Steam):

Navigate to %USERPROFILE%/Documents/MDickie/WrestlingEmpire/
Right-click the Save folder → Properties. If it exceeds 10MB, you have bloat.

Note: PC has the highest tolerance, but even PC can corrupt if you abuse mods.
