Save files wont load anymore ?

Hello , i was trying the game and played for around 3 to 4 hours, in multiple sessions.
The last time i turned it on , my pc shut down after a bit because of a power shortage , and now i am unable to load ANY of the save files . I would understand a corrupted auto-save file but even older save files wont load and the "continue" option in the menu remains grayed out.
I tryed messing around with the save foulder in www but nothing happen. I did notice tho that the config file works , as i started a new game to try it out and , when i removed it , the keybinds were different, while when it was in the foulder the keybinds were my old ones.

I also tryed starting a new game and saving, both with the "old" save foulder still in the game files and without a save foulder at all , and everything works fine. Is there a way i can get those saves back or i am forced to start again ?

You probably lost the "global" file in the save folder during this incident. The global is responsible for telling the game that save files exist, and that to show in the preview in the loading screen. If the file doesn't exist, the game thinks there is no save, which is why the load option was grey and not usable for you.

Most all old save files out of the save folder first, then start the game and create saves in all save slot in which you previously had saves. (The save files have the number for the slot to which they belong.) Afterwards overwrite the new save files with the old save files which you moved out of the folder earlier. The preview will be wrong until you load and re-save into that slot again, but the progress should still be your old.
