Save files problem

[Hotel_Alpha_Lima_Victor_Alpha]

In newer version of game my save files can't be read by the game. Also new game files created by the game can't be shown by game.
!BUT! All worlds and save are in Documents\My Games\Stationeers\saves and they still playable by older version

What exact version of the game are you using? First of all, the general version everybody has, or are you on the Beta channel? You can see the current game version with a button in the main menu.

And: What do you mean "can't be read"? What are you seeing/trying? E.g. are the savegames just not being listed, or can't they be loaded?

Yeah, it like doesn't listed at all, but sometimes after creating a new world it can list only random backups on the right menu in saved games

Savegames not being listed can have multiple reasons, e.g. the setting.xml file pointing to the wrong folder, but that's rare. More common is that Steam cloud (Which it is advisable to turn off for Stationeers.) or, even more common, Microsoft OneDrive interfered. Or the game crashed in mid save.

Anyway, you may have lingering temp files in your save tree, or some other kind of corruption. You can take a look at your savegames here:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Stationeers\

Btw, your Steam cloud files are here: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=544550

Here's a video (incl. helpful description) that shows/explains the problem/solution of lingering temp files. Which I thought was fixed, but only a few days ago I got a comment saying that this vid helped them solve their save file problem:

Does this XML key in your "setting.xml", which is in the same folder where your "saves" folder also is, correctly point to that saves folder?

Yes, only difference in the name of user

Also, Deep Seek said me to check this C:\Users\<ユーザー名>\AppData\LocalLow\RocketWerkz\Stationeers, but I havent there Stationeers folder, only RocketWerkz

After 5-th cycle of reinstalling get this (I tried to load backup of a new world)

I have clue that it can be workshop mods, but i dont sure because all of them are off

[God, owner of the Universe]

If you want to be sure, you have to wipe (Or just rename, so it's out of the way.) your install folder, because turning off mods, even verifying game files, does not actually clean everything up. Maybe you also want to move your saves folder and then delete the Stationeers data tree (where the saves folder was). Redownload game. Try if it works. If it works, put savegames back in and see what happens.

Just some ideas.

(I know nothing about that RocketWerkz folder you mentioned.)

Yes, only difference in the name of user

Also, Deep Seek said me to check this C:\Users\<ユーザー名>\AppData\LocalLow\RocketWerkz\Stationeers, but I havent there Stationeers folder, only RocketWerkz

Since your logged-in username contains not-strictly-ASCII characters, it's possible that the game just has some flat-out bug in handling such character sets.

I'm not familiar with how Stationeers sets its savegame directory. But my idea is that you create a new directory C:\Users\Public\RocketWerkz\Stationeers and change the entry in settings.xml to point to that new directory.

No, I have the name of user is "1", just "1". So I don't think it wil be the problem.
UPD: Deleted all workshop mods - still no working

I was having a somewhat similar issue, after waiting a few minutes on the "load world" window, my saved games showed up. I'm not sure why it takes that long for them to show up but I've done this a few times now with only a slight variation in how long it takes for them to show.

How many save games do you have? Tens, hundreds, thousands? Maybe there is a problem with the game having very poor performance in handling large numbers of save files.

I only have two. I'm not sure what is going on in the background but three error statements will print out after a minute or two while you are looking at the load world window. The first two error statements come at the same time and say "[ERROR] could not cast to instructiondata : /instruction.xml" and the third one will show up about 30ish seconds later saying "[EXCEPTION] xmlexception: root element is missing." Right after that final error message is when my saves show up.
