Starsector App deleted all of my saves
« on: May 30, 2023, 01:55:48 PM »

So i was deleting my saves by hand istead of using the In-Game system of deleting, because there where so many saves that it would take ages if done in-game.

Anyway, after i finished cleaning up the saves foulder from saves before 0.96, and making sure that i only deleted the saves that i wasn't using, i started the game and saw that the entire saves foulder was deleted. I checked the foulder and even the mission_stats and the other mission file were deleted.

Is this a new bug?

Hmm. The game doesn't even try to delete the entire save folder at any point, so I'm not sure what might have happened. Are you sure you didn't accidentally move the saves/ folder somewhere else without noticing, such as by clicking-and-dragging it into another folder? In that case, the game would create a new saves/ folder on startup (because there would not be an existing one), and it would be empty.

Honestly, i think it might just be me being a dumbass

Even though i double checked to see my saves where still there

i've Probably hit the Del key without noticing, and set it to the trash bin without noticing

Still, so strange for this to happen

I hate human flawness :P

Thanks for the help anyway, Alex!
