So I just downloaded the new version and went to play and half my saves are gone. I tried opening the old version and they are gone there now too. Any idea how to get them back so I don't have to play through it all again.
Thanks.
Enjoy your work.
Assuming Windows machine, saves are kept in two places, the saves subdirectory where the game is and in the system/hidden AppData\Roaming\RenPy\NIF* (or something like that) directory. I switched to Linux a year ago, so it's been a while for me. Check to see if the different versions landed in different directories (different number strings after the game name)
