The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth – How to Fix Blank Save Bug on Online

Quick guide to fix the blank save bug while playing the online beta and recover your data (hopefully).

 

Backup your progress before playing the online beta.

First of all, you need to copy you savefiles to another different folder before playing the online beta.

You can access to it via Documents>my games>The binding of isaac.


You should see some saves with the extension .dat named persistentgamedata.
Copy those and paste them in a different folder to backup (you can copy them all, but you only need the most recent one to save).

The bug itself

While changing from the normal mode to the online beta, you might have encountered that all your items were gone. Not the achievements, in my case, but all character marks were gone.

You need to access to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\(Your steam account ID)\250900

go to the “remote” folder, and then paste your backed up files without the date number.


It should be something like: “rep.persistentgamedata1.dat”.

Then, reopen your game and your save file must be back

Thanks to: @kizucatto on X for showing this method.
