Viewing post in Lost my saves?
Yes I am on PC and I still have this folder and even saved it somewhere just in case. I was trying to install internal mods after installing the moaning mod by stupidly putting them in the mods folder along with the moaning mod instead of using the in game menu I enabled them the correct way right after and tried to load my last save and that's when i noticed all my saves had disappeared
I managed to figure out a way around the issue that iyfck was having, as I suffered a similar issue with the Moaning Mod. Uninstalled it and Melon while seeing if I could fix the issue.
After opening the save folder and looking through the saves in Notepad++, all the data was still there in the .mdrgslot(s), but the save.mdrg data was wiped. I then created a copy of the folder to not lose the original data and worked to fix it. I started a new game and sped through the intro, and once able to, created a new save game in slot 1. Exiting to main menu afterwards, I looked into the new M1.mdrgslot data and as expected it was overwritten to empty values expected of a new game, but crucially save.mdrg was now populated with values pointing to the M1 slot. Changing out the data saved in the M1.mdrgslot to the data that I copied from the previous M1.mdrfslot data in Notepad++ and loading the slot again properly loaded all the previous data.
It's a bit of a hassle to do, but it's definitely recoverable. No clue why the game decided to wipe save.mdrg though, might be something to do with the mod or some other thing.
