    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.

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.
