Lost Saving Data

[mike]

Just can't enter a world that I have been working on for 17 Hours. Feel so Frustrated.
The pop-up message is:
Failed SelectWorld. From WBP_TitleLocalWorldSelect.

They mention that crtical bug on startup. I lost mine to. Been like that for a while. I'm just holding off on playing again until it's fixed.

Did you move the backups from both the local and the world folder with the same timestamp to the correct folder?

I managed to recover the last save, with barely no gaming progress loss.

Here is how I made it, in case you wonder:

copy all files insides
c:/users/(username)/appdata/local/pal/saved/savegames/(steamid)/(some-hash-id)/backup/local/(some-timestamp)/

and
c:/users/(username)/appdata/local/pal/saved/savegames/(steamid)/(some-hash-id)/backup/world/(some-timestamp)/

with same hash id and same timestamp to

c:/users/(username)/appdata/local/pal/saved/savegames/(steamid)/(some-hash-id)/

That's the weird thing. Can get to C:/users/ and that's it. Only have public and flash as options. My user name isn't in that for some reason.

type %localappdata%/pal/saved/savegames/ in the address bar of explorer. that should take you directly to the savegame folder of palworld. if that fails try only %localappdata%. that takes you to the local appdata folder of your profile.

I got to step four but I don't know which one is the save data directory. I got the Local save copied and world data copied but I don't know which one is the save data directory to continue. This is the furthest I ever got troubleshooting because I could never find the stupid file.

Wait a minute I might be dumb. Is it the files below back up and players folders?
