Before You Start
Prerequisites: The folders of the damaged instance are still on your PC.; DiskGenius, a third-party disk utility. Search for "DiskGenius" and download it only from its developer's website. This guide does not link to it. Verify the publisher before you install.; The game's package name, which appears in its Google Play store link.
Step-by-Step
- Right-click the LDPlayer icon and choose Open file location.
- Open the vms folder. The folder names match the LDMultiplayer instance names.
- Open the folder of the damaged instance and find data.vmdk. This file holds your game data.
- Make a copy of data.vmdk if you can, and work on the copy.
- Install DiskGenius and start it.
- Click Disk in the top menu, then choose Open Virtual Disk File.
- Select data.vmdk and open the files you need.
- Right-click the files you need and copy them to a folder on your PC.
- Start LDMultiplayer and add a new instance in LDPlayer.
- Open vms > config. Config files are named after the LDMultiplayer instance names.
- Delete the config file of the new instance. For example, delete leidian2.config if leidian1 is damaged and leidian2 is new.
- Copy leidian1.config. The copy is named leidian1-copy.config.
- Rename the copy to leidian2.config. This lets the guest account data be restored.
- Find the game's package name. Search for the game on Google Play and read the package name in the store link. The example in the source is com.stove.epic7.google.
- From data.vmdk, extract the folder named data/com.android.xxxxxx. Replace xxxxxx with your game's package name.
- Start the new instance.
- On the main interface, open System Apps > File Manager.
- Click the category icon in the top-left corner.
- Click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner.
- Open General settings.
- Set Access mode to Root Access mode. The data/data folder is hidden by default.
- Copy the extracted contents into data/data/ under the game's package name in the new instance.
## Overview If an LDPlayer instance will not launch and you never backed it up, its game data and guest account may still be recoverable. This guide copies the data file from the damaged instance, sets up a new instance with the old configuration, and restores the game’s app data. The process takes several steps and works best with a copy of the disk file.
## Verify Start the game in the new instance and check that your guest account and progress appear.
## Notes and Troubleshooting
- This procedure is involved. Use it when the game account has real value to you.
- If your game data disappeared after you upgraded or reinstalled LDPlayer, see the upgrade and reinstall guide below.
- Security note: Step 21 sets Access mode to Root Access mode, which gives apps more control over system data folders. DiskGenius is third-party software and can write to disk images, so install it only from its developer’s website and scan the installer first. To revert, set Access mode back to its previous value, close DiskGenius, and run a full scan with your security software.
- To move files between LDPlayer and your PC, use the Shared folder. Open it from the More features button on the right side. You can change the PC-side folder by hand, but not the Android-side path. Screenshots and app files default to C:/Users/ld/Documents/LDPlayer/Pictures.
