More details about Epic Roller Coasters Go/Gear -How DLC is handled

The file that tells the game which coasters are unlocked is located in Android root at data/games.b4t.epicrollercoasters.oculus/sp/games.b4t.epicrollercoasters.oculus.v2.playerprefs.xml

Here is a picture of it https://imgur.com/a/xhCG74o

Unfortunately my version of the file is the default one with nothing unlocked so its kinda useless.

In order to back up the file I did adb backup -noapk games.b4t.epicrollercoasters.oculus -f mybackup.ab

But first I had to decomplile the APK, edit the androidmanifest to enable backups, then recompile and sign and launch the game and then finally I could back up the file to take a look at it. That means unless your device is rooted you probably can't backup the unlocked version of the file from a previously unlocked version of the game. I think if we ever want to fix this game, then our best bet is to find a way to add a script into the app that overwrites this file on launch or maybe modify the game itself to allow the DLC.

I also have a picture of the script config that was used to patch DLC in the newer Quest version that someone else did just in case it has any relevance to the older Gear/Go version: https://imgur.com/a/06wrDVD

For now I won't really be able to do anything else since it is way out of my skill set but hopefully with this new information someone else will be able to fix the game so it can be used with the DLC files from the archive.
