The subject of this article is not fully documented yet. You can help by researching information about it and expanding this article.
This article deals with the format of a save game file for the PC version of GTA 4.
Location
By default, the game places its save game files into the "%LocalAppData%\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\user_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\" folder where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is a 16-character string tied to the user's Games for Windows Live account.
The save files themselves are named in the format SGTA4XX where XX represents the in-game slot number. There are 12 slots available in the game (1-12) plus an additional auto-save slot (SGTA400).
Format Details
- Save file size varies but is typically just under 2 megabytes.
- Byte order is little endian. For example, the number 3452 (0x0D7C) is represented as as 0x7C 0x0D.
Data Blocks
With the exception of Block 0 and Block 33, each data block consists of the 5 characters BLOCK followed by a variable amount of data; in general, each block has its own unique internal format. Following the BLOCK character is always a dword specifying the size of the block, starting at the beginning of BLOCK characters.
Block 0: SAVE
This block has a constant length of 0x110 bytes and does not start with the characters BLOCK like blocks 1 through 32.
| OFFSET | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | dword | savegame version number |
| 0x04 | dword | savegame size in bytes |
| 0x08 | dword | global variables size (?) |
| 0x0C | char[4] | "SAVE" |
| 0x10 | wchar_t[128] | Name of last mission passed |
| 0x110 | end |
Notes:
- Savegame version number value is set under the [SAVEGAME_VERSION_NUMBER] section in the GTA IV/common/data/version.txt file
- Last mission name is prefixed with either "TLAD - " or "TBoGT - " for Episodes From Liberty City saves
Block 2
This block has a constant length of 0xD4 bytes.
| OFFSET | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | dword | Size of block |
| 0x04 | byte[18] | unknown |
| 0x1C | dword | Player money |
| 0x20 | byte[4] | unknown |
| 0x24 | dword | Player money (Again. Perhaps one is amount shown on screen.) |
| 0x28 | byte[172] | unknown |
| 0xD4 | end |
Block 14: Stats
This block has a constant length of 0x1724 bytes and stores various statistics; most of which can be viewed the game's Stats menu.
