FileNotFound

When i try to continue my playthrough it says my save data is corrupted with error code FileNotFound.
I have tried to find something regarding this issue but can't find anything.
What should i do?

Hey! I wanted to share how I finally got my missing save to show up in INZOI — even though everything seemed lost.
I had an error "Save Data Corrupted.The save data corrupted. Corrupted save data cannot be played or recovered. (ErrorCode: FileNotFound)"

First, I realized that my Windows user account had the name JOSIE & MALIK (with a space and &), which may have caused issues with how INZOI accessed save paths. The game couldn't load any saves — even newly created ones immediately gave a “FileNotFound” error.

So I:

Created a new Windows admin account with a simple name (no spaces or special characters).

Logged into Steam and INZOI under this new user.

Created a new save — and it worked!

Then I tried to restore my old save:

I copied my old save folder into the new user’s SaveGames directory.

But INZOI still didn’t show it in the Load menu.

That’s when I noticed something:
Inside each save folder, there’s a Portraits subfolder with .png files — one for each character.

In my old save’s Portraits folder, I saw two PNG files — my two custom characters that I had created before everything broke.

So I took just those two PNG portraits (nothing else!) and pasted them into the Portraits folders of all my new working saves.

After that — I opened INZOI, went to “Load Game”... and BOOM — my old save with both characters finally appeared and loaded normally.

So maybe INZOI uses those PNGs to validate saves — or maybe they help link character data back in. Either way, this totally saved me.

If anyone else is stuck like I was — give it a try!

I suggest to wait, till the game is fully developed. I mean it's so frustrating especially knowing that you're by far not the only one with that problem. They should manage it finally. I lost 50 hours of gameplay because my saving file is suddenly corrupted.

Thanks. This solved my problem, or rather, my wifes problems.
