Understand Your Local Game Data

The theHunter: Call of the Wild Save Analyzer identifies supported files and translates stored game values into readable reports. See what data is available before opening population, profile or harvest views, while keeping the original files on your device.

What the Save Analyzer Establishes First

Supported file discovery

Recognize compatible save, population and profile files without asking you to upload an entire folder.

Readable data summary

Translate stored values into clear sections for hunter progress, animals, harvests and explored locations.

Safe validation

Report missing, unsupported or incomplete files without editing the source save.

Check File Coverage Before Opening a Report

  1. Choose a supported save folder or individual file.
  2. Validate the detected records and review the local-only processing notice.
  3. Open the population, profile or career report that matches the available data.

How to Read the Save Package Summary

Start with file type, save timestamp, parser version, and data warnings to confirm that the package is complete and belongs to the account you intend to inspect.

Reserve records, population files, hunter profile data, and harvest history determine which reports can open next. A missing file means limited coverage, not a zero value.

Validation reports compatibility; the analyzer does not repair or overwrite saves.

Patch 9.2 and Intisuyu data coverage

The official Patch 9.2 notes introduced Intisuyu with 14 species, including 10 new animals. COTW Save Analyzer 1.0.25 uses mapping package 2026.07.19-weight4 and currently recognizes 19 reserves and 127 species, including Intisuyu records.

Official patch notes describe game behavior, not the save-file schema. A model that looks wrong in the Harvest Screen can therefore be a visual issue rather than damaged local data; the post-Peru Known Issues list explicitly records visual problems affecting some new species. Check the app and mapping versions before treating an unfamiliar value as a broken save.

Privacy and Local Processing

Raw saves, private hunter statistics and exact animal coordinates are processed locally by default. They are not placed in public URLs, page metadata or indexable HTML.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are theHunter saves stored?

The location depends on platform and installation. The tool explains the supported folder after you choose Save Analyzer and never scans unrelated folders.

Are raw saves uploaded?

Raw saves are processed in the browser or local client by default. Any future upload workflow must ask for explicit consent first.

Can the analyzer repair a corrupted save?

No. It focuses on read-only interpretation and validation. Always keep independent backups before changing game files.
