Save gone?

[skippysonics]

So I came back today after not playing for a while and my save file is missing (I was on the second run-thru). Any chance of getting it back or anyone know what happened. Actually a few things today have been strange, I think Steam just updated again. I had to change controller setups in a few of my VERY regularly played games as all of a sudden they didn't recognize the controller I've been using for months.

Same here.

But I could recover it
In this folder:.
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\LocalLow\EightyEightGames
there are 2 folders:
_ymbab
#ymbab
It appears _ymbab contains the saved games and config, while #ymbab should be a backup.
So I made a backup of those folders (to zip), and then renamed them to
_ymbab_OLD
#ymbab_OLD
and copied #ymbab_OLD as _ymbab
There is my save back again!
I have deleted _ymbab_OLD and #ymbab_OLD.

Ok, I'll try.

Open this folder (where [user] is your Windows username):
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\LocalLow\EightyEightGames
There should be 2 folders:
_ymbab
#ymbab

At this point, I would make a copy of those folders, just in case. You can zip them, or copy them to another location.

The actual saved games will be in _ymbab, while in #ymbab should be a backup.

You have to recover the saved games from the backup, so you have to:
1-Rename _ymbab to _ymbab_OLD (or something else, but there must not exist the folder _ymbab anymore).
2-Rename #ymbab to _ymbab, so you can recover the saved games from the backup.

I hope I explained it better this time.

You legend. Worked like a charm. <3

Telifon's idea there worked for me too. Thanks a bunch. Stupid steam won't let me quote or award people on the discussion, otherwise I would

Necro'ing/Bumping this post as this saved my ass too (going for the secret achievement)
