Tool to migrate the save data of the game Snowrunner from Microsoft Store / Xbox Game pass (UWP) to Steam.
The migration is basically just renaming a number of files which have obfuscated names in UWP storage, and then making Steam aware of them.
The "hard part" is discovering the proper file names, which are stored inside a container.xyz file with a proprietary binary format.
The links below are the resources which were used to make this tool:

- Have both Snowrunner UWP and Steam versions installed (ideally with the same DLC).
- Find Snowrunner UWP save location, somewhere like:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\FocusHomeInteractiveSA.SnowRunnerWindows10_4hny5m903y3g0\SystemAppData\wgs\<an identifier>\<another identifier>. - Make a copy of it to be safe, like
C:\Temp\<another identifier> - Disable cloud saves for Snowrunner in Steam.
- Restart Steam in offline mode.
- Run Snowrunner and start a new game. Ensure the game is saved.
- Download the latest sr_u2s.exe tool from the Releases page to any directory (like
C:\Temp). - Open a command prompt (e.g. Windows key + R, input
cmd, click OK), then navigate to the directory containing the tool (likecd \Temp). - Run the tool on the copy of the UWP data and write Steam data to a temporary directory:
sr_u2s.exe -i "C:\Temp\<another identifier>" -o "C:\Temp\steam_snowrunner_save" - Find Steam saves location, somewhere like:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\userdata\<your Steam id>\ - Copy the directory
1465360from the Steam data output directory to the Steam saves location. - Run Snowrunner. If all went according to plan, you have recovered your save.
- Re-enable cloud saves for the game and return online.

Snowrunner save UWP -> Steam end.
- Adventurous users can use the original UWP directory instead of making a temporary copy, as well as the final destination Steam directory as arguments of the tool.
- Steps 3 and 11 can be avoided in this case.
- Step 9 becomes
sr_u2s.exe -i "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\FocusHomeInteractiveSA.SnowRunnerWindows10_4hny5m903y3g0\SystemAppData\wgs\<an identifier>\<another identifier>" -o "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\userdata\<your Steam id>\"
- Steps 7 to 9 can be performed by downloading latest source or cloning the repo, then using it as a python module.
- Install Python interpreter (>= 3.6).
python -m sr_u2s -i "<input>" -o "<output>"
Can be built as a Python module.
