Save file mising????

[ActionRedacted]

i just did the 1.7.9 update and my 154 hour save is gone. All help and suggestions are appreciated!

Repentance, AB+ and AB create backups automatically there:
C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Repentance
C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+
C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth

Pick one (check its date of creation), copy it, replace your current save with the copy (don't forget to rename it properly).
Current saves (the ones the game reads) are located there:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[some number]\250900\remote
(Adapt to wherever you installed Steam.)

Repentance saves start with "rep_", AB+ saves with "abp_", AB saves with "ab_". The number at the end is the save slot (1, 2 or 3), "persistentgamedata" files are the saves themselves (the one you're supposed to replace with the backup), "gamestate" files are the continue option, "rerunstate" files are the rerun option.
So, for example, if you want to use a Repentance backup in the first save slot, you have to rename it "rep_persistentgamedata1".

I think they may have changed this. I figured I'd toy around and made a game and exited, copied all the files, and then went back in and died. I replaced ALL the files and yet when I reload the game the started game doesn't reappear. Basically seeing if it was possible to save scum. You def cannot with the most recent patch at least.

yeah the most recent patch deleted my save and i couldn't fix it. BETTER YET, the devs never
emailed me back!
