Hi, was just playing on latest build, when game suddenly crashed. After that, my progress was all erased, even though the saves and preferences were intact. I checked profile.json and saw it was empty... Replaced it with the profile-backup.json data, no dice, it gets replaced by nothing when game launches. Setting it to read-only doesn't work either.

Tried to downgrade the game version all the way to 0.3.50, no dice, same issue. Deleted profile.json, deleted the saves, deleted preferences,json, full wipe... and the issue is still there.

I think the backup is corrupted somehow.
Please help. It's hundreds of hours of progress gone. :(


EDIT: found a band-aid. Leaving this here in case someone else needs the info. Go to the last line of profile-backup.jason and check if it's broken, mine had cut an entry in half and ended in "GOLEM_AWAKEN".

Simply delete the broken line, and add two lines that say "}".
