Hey, lovin' the game however I've got a slight hitch. For some reason when I save and exit the game, the save file is missing when I re-launch the game and I have to start a new game every time. Can you help? Thanks

Hey, sorry to hear about the problem. With version of the game you're playing (which platform)? And to clarify, we're talking about the same version of the game (the same build) that keeps deleting save files, yes?

Thanks for getting back to me! I'm playing on Windows and version 0.13.1, and yes it's the same version that keeps deleting the save file.

Okay, so, here are my thoughts:

- try moving the game folder to a completely different location (to the desktop maybe?),

- try disabling your antivirus software while playing the game (assuming you're using something more refined that the default Windows Defender),

I'm also curious to try somehing out: what would happened if you played the game in widowed mode, while looking at the folder with the saves... and after making a save, you made a manual copy of that file (copy, paste). I wonder if this copied file would also get deleted.

The folder with save files can be found in a path:

After Years 0.13.1 (Win)\www\save

(the game will create this folder after the first initialize)

I'll try these out, thanks for the feedback!
