Go there

Never seen that, figured it out on my own actually by aggressively tinkering.

Do a search for 'savedatapath' file, you should still have it somewhere accessible.

Would backuping only this folder before playing prevent a savegame loss until the bugs are fixed ?

I Don't know how to specify new path can anyone tell me how?Please???

[JackW]

I recently re-installed the whole game (after the Afterbirth) and haven't had to go through this again.

I did import my save game, and it appears to be fine.

Though I really cannot tell for sure.
I don't see the number of Mom Kills increases on the thumbnail for my save slot, even though I've killed mom and her heart ect numerous times.
I did make those kills while in Challenges though, so maybe that's why

ive tried everything i have found so faar and nothing have worked
it just suddenly started after i lost my internett connection when playing and i defeated the new last end boss in afterbirth+ and nothing happened, now the game doewsnt register anything even if i have an internet connection

[roock89]

i noticed that after i change the / to \ they change back when i start up the game.

[roock89]

and i just saw something else.........
"This file is purely informational. Changing it will have no effect on saving or loading data."

[roock89]

i found something in the log saying "Loading GameState 1 from SteamCloud!
[INFO] - SteamCloud could not find or open abp_gamestate1.dat. No Game State detected.
[INFO] - Cannot continue a game that doesn't have the same modding state (rerunstate1.dat)!
[INFO]" im trying to se if i can find something about abp_gamestate1.dat

[roock89]

for some reason it was the mod that caused my problem, just disableing it fixed it. i guess this mod compatebility doesnt work propperly... (it was only one simple mod called "Color stat HUD Icons"
