Hey there, sorry I’m a bit late to reply, sleeping and all that. So my email is at the end of this message. If you can send the entire Verdant Village Folder to that would be good. I’m looking at my own copy of that file. It might honestly be the engine at this point, something I wanted to believe, but couldn’t ever confirm. I mean the game is coded in Construct 3 so all I’m doing on my end is just calling a built in function to save data. If it’s actually writing to the file incorrectly then it may be the engine.
Ironically that file you posted is only missing like 5 characters. But the name of the file is all wrong, its supposed to be called “Local State” that string of characters looks like a temporary file name, probably because it failed to finish writing.
In any case I’ll look into things once you send me the files. Like I said the whole folder is preferred if you can just zip it up. This may end up going to the construct devs as a problem for them. If I manage to recover your files though I’ll send things back your way. Sorry about all this, I wish I had some sort of clear answer, but this bug has only occurred I think a total of 3 times, only one of which was on my machine, and like I said it disappeared once I reloaded the game somehow. Thank you for all the help so far though, this is obviously a massive problem and needs to be solved so I really appreciate being able to hopefully track it.
