Game Data Lost after Update

Hi there,

I am trying to publish a WebGL game on itch.io platform.

It has a save and load function in my game. Within the same version, the data is saved properly.

Yet, when I update a new version (with the same name, when I upload it , it replace my old version).

All the player data is lost. 

I wonder if there is a way to solve this problem? Or what is the possible reasons to cause this problem?

I have looked into the butler but it is beyond my knowledge and I would like to see if there is an easier way to do it.

Thanks

When a new version of the game is uploaded, it goes under a new URL entirely, so it doesn't have access to the old save data anymore. Maybe if you let the user save and load via ordinary files?
