Game Saves Loss and Crashes on Launch

First off, love the game! It's a delightfully tight shooter with a different vibe from anything else I've played.

Unfortunately for me, the game crashed on startup about 50% of the time, and only loads if done in administrator mode.

It also didn't load at all once, where I had to uninstall the game and it then worked. Unfortunately it also got rid of my save files.

And the last time I played the game, in administrator mode again, two copies of the game loaded, and then when I quit them and reloaded the game, my save files were gone. I love unlocking things, but it's super frustrating doing it multiple times.

Hey Jottomadai

I'll look into that. Was this on the Itch or Steam version? I'll assume on Windows?

Regarding the lost save data: There should be a "fallback" folder in your game directory, with backups of your profile save file. You should be able to restore your progress by copying one of the recent fallback files into your "saves" directory and renaming it to prof_save_crypt.txt.

I hope that works for now, I'll look into the launch crashes.

Fallback did the trick! Thank you :D

I'm using the steam version. I've had crashes both launching from Steam, and launching from the folder directly. If I don't use administrator mode it refuses to launch at all, but that may just be my computer.
