Sorry for the issues. Your new saves shouldn’t have any problems. Perhaps you opened an old save on accident?
the only saves i had were from the day before
If you are able could - you send me screenshots of the errors you’re experiencing?
will once I get back to it
turns out im an idiot. opened the wrong version. but with the next update will i have to make a new save?
Yes unfortunately until the game is complete new saves are a necessity. However, there will be a prompt when starting a new game to pick and choose what content to skip through if you've played it already.
