Diablo II Resurrected Save Game Editor: The Mysterious Case of Broken Files

As developers and users of the Diablo II Resurrected Save Game Editor, we've encountered our fair share of peculiar issues. But one problem has left even experienced programmers stumped: why do some files become 'broken' after being edited, while others remain intact? In this article, we'll delve into the world of save file editing and explore the mysteries behind a recent case that has left many scratching their heads.

The issue in question revolves around two players, Necrolis and Shattered, who are both using an AM3.0.x version of the game. Both have been successfully editing character files with my editor, but with one crucial difference: only Necrolis's edited files refuse to load on his machine, while they work flawlessly on Shattered's.

To begin with, let's examine the facts. Necrolis and Shattered are both using the same version of the game (AM3.0.x), which suggests that any issues with compatibility can be ruled out. Moreover, both players have confirmed that they're not using the editor incorrectly, and their edits match what each other has done. This eliminates user error as a possible cause.

One possibility is that there's an issue with the inventory data in Necrolis's edited files. Upon further inspection, it appears that every time he uses the editor, his character file becomes corrupted. This could be due to a bit error or some other type of data corruption. However, this doesn't explain why Shattered's edited files load without issue.

Another theory is that there might be something specific about Necrolis's machine that's causing the problem. Perhaps there's an underlying issue with his system configuration or hardware that's preventing the edited files from loading. But if that were the case, you'd expect all edited files to have issues, not just those created by Necrolis.

As an amateur programmer, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this conundrum. It's clear that my editor is functional, and I've successfully tested it on multiple machines with no problems. So why does it seem to work for everyone except Necrolis?

In the absence of any concrete answers, I'm left with more questions than solutions. Is there something specific about AM3.0.x that's causing this issue? Are there certain types of edits that are more prone to corruption? And most importantly, how can we resolve this problem and ensure that all edited files load successfully?
