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.
- A savegame consists of 32 data blocks, two blocks with metadata and a checksum number.
Savegame Metadata
A savegame file starts with this block, which has a constant length of 0x110 bytes.

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
Data Blocks
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.

Checksum
The checksum follows the last data block.
- The
savegame size in bytes
in the meta data should be set to 1977922
(0x1E2E42), before calculating the checksum.
- It is the sum of all the bytes preceding the checksum value.
- Implementation Example: A Python script for calculating the checksum value
Note:
- The reason is that the game adds the GFLW data size to the metadata after it has calculated the checksum.
- The checksum value is ignored by the game. An incorrect checksum will not prevent a save file from being loaded.
End Block
This block has a constant length of 0x16C bytes.
