My savefiles... gone..

[Vakarian]

So after a break from KSP I decided to launch the game once more. I saw an update, installed it and opened the game. Excited as I was for a possible fix for the deployed science message spam I read the patch note. I couldnt click it away. I couldnt scroll. Anything. So I alt-f4'd out of it and restarted KSP. This time the resolution was 1/4th of my screen but it worked. Read the patch, set the settings to full screen and yay, I can play (maybe finally land that asteroid).

 

To my big suprise, I dont have any savefiles anymore. None. 500 hours of hard work, gone. Now what? Is there a way I can get this back? Or am I doomed to start over once more?

Have you checked your saves file? By the way... do you remember what patch you installed?

Did you check the game files or the game itself?

Nothing in the game would delete your save files.

If you remember the name of the save, search your entire computer for a directory with that exact name. If you don't remember the exact name (spaces and all) try searching the entire computer for "persistent.sfs" and see if you find it that way.

Maybe you somehow had it installed in a nonstandard directory, or are now installed in a different directory than you used to have.

Also, anything so important that losing it would cause you distress, back it up. And back up the back ups.

Look in the package contents for KSP.

-Where did the savefiles go?

-Gone, Reduced to atoms.
