How to transfer/save game data

update 27/01/2017

Saving your account

To save your account, you can go to the "Data Transfer Settings" from the Gear icon when you are in-game, then choose "Data Transfer with KONAMI ID". Register a new account if you don't have it yet and bind it to the account.

June 7th update

Recently, there were problems associated with making a KONAMI ID, which has now been fixed, but a new method to save your account is now added as well. You can now set up a data transfer to back up your account using Google Play Games. Simply log in to your Google Play account when you are in-game, and choose "Data Transfer Setup (Google Play Games)" in the Data Transfer Settings.

Setting up a data transfer

1. Tap a gear-shaped icon

2. Tap "Data Transfer Settings"

3. KONAMI ID or Google Play Games

You can link your game data to both a KONAMI ID, or Google Play Games. In case one of them isn't available, you can use the other to restore your data. You can link your game data to a different KONAMI ID, or Google Play Games if you accidentally used a different or wrong account, but it will replace the previous one. If you plan on transferring from using Google Play services to iTunes, make sure you use KONAMI ID instead.

3.5 KONAMI ID

If you are using KONAMI ID, login or generate first before linking your game data to it.

4. Done!

If you did everything correctly, your account is now saved so you don't have to worry about losing it if your phone is broken, a data error or if you uninstall the game. You will have to re-download all of the data files though.

Using your account on a different device

When you want to use your account on a different device, you will need to log in to your account. When you first launch the game, before you tap "INITIATE LINK!", tap the button below for "Data Transfer" and log into your account.

KONAMI ID

If you set up using a KONAMI ID, simply log in to your registered account that you linked your game data to. If you are using Google Play Services, make sure you are logged in to the right account.

Account Recovery

If you lost your account before you managed set up a data transfer, you can try recovering it from the "Contact Us" and "Submit Player Data Recovery Inquiry" from the gear icon in-game.

1. Tap a gear-shaped icon

2. Tap "Contact Us"

3. Read through the description & Tap the button

4. Submit inquiry

You will need to provide your information as accurately as possible for them to be able to identify that it is yours. Simply giving them your player ID is not enough, since anyone can look that up and is not a very reliable information. Try to remember stuff like deck names, latest card obtained of certain rarity or what device you used it on.

Next step is to wait patiently and check your email for a reply from their support team.

So since I uninstalled my account, it's gone forever huh...wow. I got to stage 22 on that account...
Deleted Game
I deleted duel links for a day so I could focus on my studies. Then I downloaded it a day later hoping my google account would automatically ask to connect to my old player. I was wrong, it didn't connect to my google and I can't get my old one back because it wasn't set with the data transfer thing. I don't know what to do now...

Can you recover if you d9dnt make a kanomi ID?

I think the only reason I got mine back without a Konami ID is because it was easy to pin down if you have records of in-game purchases... ^~^;;

However, if you remember where you were in the game & last duel, you have a chance. After the 2~3 week wait & its successful, IMMEDIATELY get a K-ID.

If you know your username and duelist ID number, is there any way of recovering your account?

Ofc Zhaneo, that's literally what they want above anything else! If you have both already then you should be able to fly right through the questions. Still likely about 2+ week wait tho
Atlas
I also have a "common" name , what should I do for getting back your old ID ? Konami keeps to ask my ID Number but none of the players in the friend search list is my old one :(

Actually it's always the same profiles everyday. Maybe mine is one of those but I was silver 2 rank and none of those are silver rank...
<< Anonymous(Atlas)
Daemon Blitzkrieg Reply
Yea, that was one way I could tell neither of the profiles were mine. Also, I was counting the days since I lost it as they track last logins. It's another way to make sure it is yours before trying to claim it.

Ok,I've received this mail from Konami.
They say it'll take a week or two for the process of data transfer ? Did they warn you when they've finished ? Did it take so long Daemon ?
<< Anonymous(Atlas)
Daemon Blitzkrieg Reply
Hmmm, that email...from the posting date. Honestly you should have it back by now unless they sent you another email. You did send back a reply that same day huh? Also, I actually got my account back about 2 days before they sent the actual email saying it was reestablished, which feeds back to the 1st part of this comment.

So if you do the data transfer save thing where you create an ID at let's say level 30, but then you progress to let's say 45. Does it save your account and any progress it makes if you data transfer to a different device or do you have to save again at your higher progress level?

you just make an account and it saves your progress, no need multiple savings.

Last update from me~

Well, it's official: I actually DO have my account back. YES, this process actually DID work... but so slowly that it feels like they initially made me miss the Pegasus event. :( Now, on to somehow getting back into my old account flow...& been got my KONAMI ID.

Omg did you have to do the inquiry and tell them about your character and duels?
<< Anonymous(Daemon Blitzkrieg )

Anon: Yes, yes I did. & Atlas: put 'N/A' (Not available) or unknown then continue on giving them the remaining information & submit. They'll ask you more questions later.

Hello Daemon, you follow some steps to take this works? Today I recieve this email from Konami, but my account wasn't transfered
Godryyy
Can you transfer yout data on just one device or more?
Daemon Blitzkrieg
Update on me: I've gotten a answer back from Konami, saying they found my account and they are ready to give it back to me...but that was 4 days ago. They only seem to ever answer back every 3~4 Days & no weekends. >.> Hopefully tomorrow I can get mine back but in the time it's taking to do so, I'm already almost back to Stage 23 on this new one. They so sloooooow.

Reformated my ZF2 to custom rom, and well... lost a few days of grind. Thanks for the tut, even though my name appears to be coomon, I was the only one using a certain char id. Helped that I found out and hunted within 5 hours.
