Pharaoh: A New Era – How to Restore Vault Debens

Family Mansion, Personal Manor Income, Savings, Vault Debens.

Guide to Restore Vault Debens

Step by Step

• In the Campaign, when switching between Eras, the Vault Debens are reset to zero.
• This is normal behavior and was intended to be.

Savings is not saved in Saves.

Therefore, by loading a save, you do not get back the Savings if you spent them (the value is stored in the dynasty file “Family.meta”).

Let’s hope this issue gets fixed, but for now…

How to recover Savings? (..and justice!)

• In any mission, make sure that your Savings are 9 coins.
• Save and exit the game.

• Open the folder in Explorer
  • %Appdata%/../LocalLow/Triskell Interactive/Pharaoh
• Open a folder with a bunch of numbers (this is your ID).
• Open the “Family” folder.
• Open the folder with the name of your Dynasty (here is the “Family.meta” file, which stores the Savings value).
• Copy the path to this folder to the clipboard.
• For example:
  • C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\LocalLow\Triskell Interactive\Pharaoh\99999999999999\Family\DINASTY
• Press Win+R.
• Execute “CMD”.

SET PHARAOH_PATH=C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\LocalLow\Triskell Interactive\Pharaoh\99999999999999\Family\DINASTY
certutil -f -encodeHex "%PHARAOH_PATH%/Family.meta" "%PHARAOH_PATH%/HEX.txt"
echo SUCCESS

Execute (copy-paste in CMD window, press Enter (here you need to replace the PHARAOH_PATH value with your own)).

• A new HEX.txt file will be created in the folder
• Open in any text editor
• For example

0000	07 00 00 00 04 50 74 69  7a 04 00 00 00 00 00 00   .....Ptiz.......
0010	00 09 00 00 00 03 00 00  00 07 00 00 00 15 00 00   ................
0020	00 12 50 72 65 64 79 6e  61 73 74 69 63 30 31 2d   ..Predynastic01-

Replace “09 00” with “FF FF”

0010	00 FF FF 00 00 03 00 00  00 07 00 00 00 15 00 00   ................

Save Changes

Execute (copy-paste in CMD window, press Enter (here you need to replace the PHARAOH_PATH value with your own))

SET PHARAOH_PATH=C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\LocalLow\Triskell Interactive\Pharaoh\99999999999999\Family\DINASTY
certutil -f -decodeHex "%PHARAOH_PATH%/HEX.txt" "%PHARAOH_PATH%/Family.meta"
echo SUCCESS

• Open the game and load any save.
• Now Savings should be 65535 coins.
