To install a full save for Sengoku Rance , you typically need to place a "save data" file into the game's specific system folder to unlock all CGs, items, and clear-game bonuses. Quick Install Guide

Locate your Save Folder:The save files are generally located in one of two places depending on your version and OS:

Documents Folder: Documents\AliceSoft\Sengoku Rance\SaveData

Game Directory: Look for a folder named SaveData or User within the main folder where rance.exe is installed.

Backup Existing Saves: Before overwriting, copy your current SaveData folder to a safe location so you don’t lose your own progress.

Download & Extract: Extract the downloaded full save (usually a .zip or .rar file). You will likely see files named global.sav or a series of save001.dat files.

Copy and Paste: Move the new save files into the SaveData folder identified in Step 1.

Note: Ensure the global.sav file is included, as this usually contains the "System Save" info that unlocks the CG gallery and bonus points.

Launch the Game: Open Sengoku Rance. You should now see the "Gallery" unlocked and have access to "Bonus Points" when starting a New Game. Troubleshooting Tips

Version Mismatch: Ensure the save file matches your version (e.g., the original Japanese version vs. the MangaGamer English release). MangaGamer saves often use the Documents path.

File Permissions: If the save doesn't "stick," right-click your SaveData folder, go to Properties, and ensure Read-only is unchecked.

Locale Settings: If you are using the Japanese version, ensure your system locale is set to Japanese or you are using Locale Emulator to avoid file path errors.

Step 3: Installation

  1. Copy the downloaded .dat files.
  2. Paste them into the Save folder you located in Step 2.
  3. Important: If prompted to replace existing files, make sure to back up your old saves first (just copy them to a folder on your desktop) in case something goes wrong.

Part 7: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does a full save unlock the secret "Rance Quest" bonus?
A: No. That requires a separate game. But it does unlock the post-credits teaser.

Q: Can I use a Japanese save file with the English patch?
A: Yes. Save data is language-agnostic. Scene text will still appear in English if your patch is active.

Q: Will a full save unlock all characters for recruitment turn 1?
A: Most characters tied to plot events (e.g., Kenshin, Shingen) will only appear at their scripted times. However, NG+-exclusive characters like Kichiku Rance will be available from the start.

Q: My antivirus flags the save file. Is it a virus?
A: Almost certainly a false positive. Save files are plain text or binary data. However, if the file is a .scr or .exe, delete it immediately.
