    Hi @quessar0002 

    Thanks for trying those steps as well. If that did not work, we would not have another method to try and get the save file read. 

    We can pass this on for the studio to be aware of but would need to use a new save to continue playing from here. 

    Apologies that we couldn't get this working again.

Did those things right after the crash.

all test came out "Green".

I can't do nay thing i EA app

like i told before i bought game on steam.

i can only see that the game in installed on EA app, and press play.

and now it's called library in EA app, MY collection i think it was in Origin.

So at STEAM i did:

right click the game in my steam game library > properties > installed files > verify integrity of game files.

The result of that test also was Green.

______________________________________

The game came out in 2021. i check internet i am not the only one who had this issue .... 

So 2 years has past and Bilion dollar company didn't Found founds to release update that would fix this issue by making back up of a save file ?????

_____________________________

I appreciate if you would not waste my time on some goose chase.

Because your advice seems like it.

if there is no way of retrieving that save file you should just say it:

"

Sorry but we are unable to add LOOT BOX shop to this game, Therefor we consider this game an abandoned project.

We are no longer develop update for this title. We are deeply sorry for your loose of time.

On your next playthrough we advise you to make manual back up of save file every 30 min. 

Good luck on your next playthrough.

"

So i will ask one last time is there a way to make this save file work or no ?

simple question simple answer.

Or you gonna send me on another goose chase like stand on one leg, make a cactus shape jump around pc 2.5 time and that will make save work.

Best regards

Hi @quessar0002 

Thanks for trying those steps and sharing feedback. 

To confirm the steps we have tried so far are intended to help us get you back into the game. The request you mentioned of "make this save file work" can be a broad message. 

If the issue lies with the game itself being corrupted or some form of conflict on the PC the steps I've previously mentioned. However, if the save file itself has become corrupted, there is no way to "edit" the save file to make it readable again. 

As you mentioned since this game was not built to be an online multiplayer, the progression used is a save file that is made locally. You had previously asked who made the game, it was developed by Zoink! - A Thunderful Studio under the EA Originals label. 

While the steps we have tried so far may not have had an effect we can try a few additional steps if you are interested, however, if they don't enable us to use the save in-game then we would need to start a new save. 

Cheers!

    Thank you for being honest.

    I am always open to new suggestion.

    We can try more thing to see if this will fix save game at slot 1
    If not for me, maybe it will help someone with similar problem in the future.

    Meanwhile i could start new game at save slot 3.

    And we can work on save slot 1.
    We will see how it will work out.

    Best regards.

      HI @quessar0002 

      Can we go to the save location: [UserProfile]\AppData\LocalLow\Zoink Games\Lost In Random

      You should have a save file: SaveData_1.save

      Can you check if the file is larger than 0KB? if it is go through the following:

      1. Move the file to your desktop
      2. Ensure you have full read/write permission to the Zoink Game folder (and all subfolders/files)
      3. Delete the Lost in Random folder, Then run a repair again
        1. Once relaunching  LiR (next step) if you see your save again try loading it as it may be a cloud copy that works. 
      4. Launch Lost in Random and make a new save (I believe you need to get past the intro fight to have it saved) 
      5. Close and relaunch to confirm the save still works (it hasn't had the same issue)
      6. If it works, remove the new save and place the old one back into the folder location, and test once more. 

      If LiR picks up your old save you should be good from here, although you could make a manual copy in case there are further issues. If not, then we would need to create and start a new save. 

      While I understand the frustration, this is how the game was designed and we would only be able to pass feedback along ot the team from here.

        The file save is 38.4KB

        I deleted the inside of the game folder.

        Run the fix game thig. So it basically downloaded the whole game one more time.

        It didn't contain save from clound

        i played the intro scene to the first save "odds birthday" 

        and it's working i can see it and it wokring that save file.

        so i copied the old save file to this location. 

        BUT no the old save doesn't work now i see " new game" in slot save 1 .

        i try to change the save file name from SaveData_1 > SaveData_2 . But that also didn't work.
