Saves Disappeared

I last played my game on Thursday (June 10), and I opened it today (June 12), and my save files aren't there. It appears as if Ive never played before so its just the play button, no option for load ...

    I managed to load your game fine after renaming it. I completely missed it in your screenshot - you have your saves named incorrectly, maybe because your Mac has saved duplicates and added a number to the end. The saves should be Slot_00000002.save with no space and number after the initial Slot_00000002. Same for the Slot_00000003.save and Slot_00000004.save. The ones ending in ver are backups. To give you an example, this is my saves folder:

    Rename your saves and they should be good to load.

Im not sure what the update folder is. It generated when I updated from Catalina to Big Sur. I was able to get rid of it, but it came back in the most recent software update. When I tried to eject it, It says it can't, because 1 or more program is using it.

Yeah, looks like a partition of your internal drive. If you look in Disk Utility it should give you more info. Mine looks like this (iMac upgraded from Catalina to Big Sur too):

In Finder I don't have an Update partition, just the usual Macintosh HD and the Boot Camp partition:

Anyway, I don't think it's related, I'm just curious about that Update partition 🙂 Thanks for the save, I'll try it later.
