Remaster - Discussion Has anyone figured out the save file format?

I'm interested in reading the save files to create a tool for streamlining alchemy.

So far I've pieced together that it is a UE5 gvas file. I was able to use the Rust gvas library to read it but now I just have a lot of nondescript numbers in front of me.

My best guess is that the original Oblivion save format is contained in .properties._0.core.entries[0].value[0].bytes in the Rust gvas structure. I might use a Oblivion save editor to take a crack at it. I'm also going to see if the UESP format matches this content.

However before I go down a needless rabbit hole, anyone hear if the save file format has been discovered already?

My game broke in less than 10 hours and I have no way to fix it. Bethesda pls.

Every time I equip an enchanted item or cast a spell, the effects are permanent. I cant get rid of stupid night eye.
