saves disappearing

[greenbean]

I have had this problem every time after i update my game where all my previous saves just disappear. When i load up my game i use my taskbar and just click on the little icon but none of that info transfers over the the steam network or cloud so everything ends up getting lost. I think i know the problem/cause but i have no idea how to fix it. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem before and if they know how to fix it?

i had a similar issue, was using geforce now for a session once and it crashed, somehow it never recovered and that save file went missing, possibly during an update window, luckily i save in two spots, one regularly and one like every night also, now i keep three saves, never had the entire save list go missing

I just edited that post awaiting moderation so in case you can't view it right now..

Just adding this as I encountered the missing save issue and the guides I saw were out of date. Short version is, I found backup .zip files earlier guides seem to not have so assuming this save backup was a feature added later.

Hope this helps, I lost my day 54 save to find the most recent available was day 47. I'm back to day 54 again.


Go to %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves\ and make a copy of the subfolder, which will be a random number.

Click through that folder and into either single or multiplayer folder depending on your save type.

Extract the contents of the .zip backup file and copy to the same relative location, so what you extract from the .zip file should be now found at eg

"C:/Users/<USERNAME>/AppData/LocalLow/Endnight/SonsOfTheForest/Saves/<NUMBER>/SinglePlayer/<NUMBER>/<SAVE>.name"

"C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves\<NUMBER>\SinglePlayer\<NUMBER>\SaveData.zip"

"C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves\<NUMBER>\SinglePlayer\<NUMBER>\SaveDataThumbnail.png"
