Quicksave question

[Combatsmithen]

I accidentally loaded my quicksave from 30 hrs of gameplay ago. I haven't made a quicksave since then or any other save, is there anyway I can revert. I lost all my work....

Yes!

If you're quick enough, you may be able to just go to Load Game and pick the persistent file, which will load your last autosave.

Failing that, in your save's folder, is another folder called Backup.  In there are 5 save files with timestamps as part of the name.  Just copy one of those up one level into the save's folder along with all the other ones, and then load that from the Load Game menu.

You might lose a tiny bit of progress that route, but it won't be nearly as bad.

Edit: You don't even need to restart the game to do this.  In fact, it would be better if you didn't.

I found the backups folder, trying it now. I actually would only lose like 10 minutes of work this way. Thanks. Life saver
