Q: Will a 100% save work on the Mac/Linux version of Crusade? A: Possibly, but the save file structure differs. You may need to manually convert it using a text editor. Check the Discord for platform-specific saves.
Q: Does using a save file block achievements? A: Crusade does not have Steam-like achievements. However, in-game “Milestones” (like the ones that give bonus costumes) may not trigger retroactively. You’ll have the characters, but you might miss a costume or two.
Q: Can I use a 100% save for online play? A: Yes, if you are playing via direct IP or Parsec. The game does not have anti-cheat. However, respectful players often keep one “vanilla” save and one “100%” save for different purposes.
Q: My game crashes after installing the save. What do I do?
A: Restore your backup. Then, open the 100% save file with Notepad. If you see garbled symbols, it’s corrupt. If it’s readable, compare the version string at the top of the file to your game’s version number in readme.txt. super smash bros crusade 100 save
