Lost Progress after buying new PC
I bought myself new PC and decided to check how game runs and saw that I lost all my progress, I mean yeah it was only 11 hours, but still sad :(
Maybe not all is lost? Does anyone have a possible solution?

sounds like the saves are local and there is no cloud support. do you still have access to your old PC? you should be able to find the save files and copy them over to your new pc. I coudnt tell you where they are though.

Today I've expirienced the same issue.
I do know, that saves are local and I'm transfering my saves between my pc and laptop by usb flash. But for some unknown reason today this process end up in failure.
After launching the game on a laptop, I saw, that there is only "start a new game" option.
I hope, that at least on my pc progress didn't lost.
P.S. I've tried to "verify files", full reinstal of game and transfering save game from my pc by archiving it and sending though internet. Nothing worked.

Done a little testing.
Started a new game. Ran "training" and 2 more missions. Then copied savegame folder elsever and done 1 more mission, After this copied save folder one more time to another location and copied back previous version of save folder, Recieved a save failure and only "new game" option. Tried to delete save folder and placing back actual one. One more failure.
Looks like somthing happend. You can't copy you saves anymore wich is somewhat right, but there is no "cloud save" option, so you can play only on 1 device.
Upd,
Found out where is the issue was.
If you encounter this issue (lost progress after copying your save game info), then check you save copy, Looks like game genereting 1 more file with *.dat-wal extension, This file is a source of savegame corruption. Delete this file, delete your savegame folder in ...AppData\Local and copy your savegame folder without this *.dat-wal file. It should work as intended after this. I've figured out, that if this file presented in your savegame folder, it will disappear after 1st game launch and force the game to not recognise save data. More so, launch with this file presented, will make all save info "damaged" and no longer visible for the game.
