The file character.2.dat is the primary save file for Real Racing 3, containing your career progress, car unlocks, and currency balances. While specific "editor" software is often sought to modify these values (like gold or R$), modern game versions use encryption that makes manual editing difficult. File Overview & Usage

The file is then transferred to a PC or opened directly on the device.

• Note byte offset ranges that change when specific actions occur (e.g., buying a car toggles a bit at offset X).

• Search for recognizable strings (car names, usernames), integer patterns (small counters, timestamps), and repeated block sizes.

• Save two copies: baseline.dat (before action) and afterbuy.dat (after purchasing a known item).
• Use a hex diff tool to list changed offsets.

2. Decryption

EA and Firemonkeys use encryption to protect the integrity of the save file. A raw character2.dat file looks like scrambled binary code. A functional editor must have the correct decryption key (or algorithm) to convert that code into a readable format, such as JSON or XML.
