Lost saves

[Radar09]

So, after almost 20 hours with my current character, my saves just disappeared. I still have the saves from another character I started, but the one I've been playing for days now is gone. Kinda irritating, but can't complain too much about a free game.

Saves don't disappear.
Do you use Vortex? It updated the Enderal SE plugin today which probably changed the ini and with that the savegame location.

At least that was an issues with someone else today.

It can be that Vortex changed the Enderal.ini which pointed to the Skyrim SE folder "My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Saves" and now has been changed to the Enderal SE one "My Games\Enderal Special Edition\Saves"

check the Enderal.ini in the folder "My Games\Enderal Special Edition" for "SLocalSavePath=" it should look like this "SLocalSavePath=..\Enderal Special Edition\Saves\"
is it points to the Skyrim SE directory it's written "SLocalSavePath=..\Saves\"

make sure it point to the Enderal SE folder, then you can check if the saves are in the Skyrim SE folder and copy it into the save folder of Enderal SE.

Save Wipe

I started the game and mysteriously all saves are missing. Has anyone else experienced this? Luckily for whatever reasons the saves are mirrored in Skyrim: Special Edition > Saves folder as well as the Enderal folder. So they can be copied from there.

Can confirm, the Vortex is to blame. Also almost lost my ♥♥♥♥ today when after installing texture mod found out that all my saves except from very early modless ones are gone.

Turned out that Vortex previously was rewriting Enderal.ini to look for saves in Skyrim folder, and today they "fixed" that. Just take your saves from Skyrim SE folder to Enderal SE - and everything will be fine!

[Radar09]

Yes, I'm using Vortex. I'll give the recommended fixes a shot and report back!

Wasn't able to get them all back, I lost all my manual saves, but it got me a hell of a lot closer to where I was than starting a new character! Thank you everyone for your prompt help. It is appreciated.
