Mysiaca Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I apologize if this has been posted before, or if the post looks a little weird. I'm still new to these forums.This update brought the ability to have more than one file, so I kept my playthrough from the 'Progress' update that I had started, and made a 2nd file. I played with all the new things, died a few times. Glorious things. And then I found the perfect world, world 3 on that file. I ended up dying to see if you could respawn in that world, and you could.But yesterday I went onto the first file to play in that world, continue it a bit, finish what I'd started. And for... some reason, the 2nd file, that perfect, beautiful world, vanished. It's 'Empty' and wants me to pick between sandbox or story, just like when I started, not the usual 'Retry' 'Delete' etc from before.So I was wondering if there's any way to recover a world that you didn't get rid of yourself? Like maybe the game still holds onto the file somewhere? Somewhere so that it's not just GONE.I heard that there was a hotfix... could it be because of that? Did it just fix it so that you can't continue from the worlds when you die?Edit : Oh, now its giving me a failed to load message. ;x Edited February 14, 2013 by Mysiaca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysiaca Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'll try that, but I haven't backed up any saves, used any mods, or anything of the sort, so I'm not really sure what's going on...I'm a little disappointed, but not upset. That's why its a beta. :v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enchanter Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yep, this has happened to me too. I just now checked my Don't Starve, and they were all empty.I guess I learned my lesson: Make a backup every time I finish a playing session :PLuckily, I didn't lose too much (only about 30 days, or 4 hours of gameplay). I'm going to just hunt for the perfect world now, but I wish there was something like "seeds" (like in Minecraft) that I could use to completely replicate the original world, because I quite liked my old one, hehe.

Enchanter Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 How strange! In my previous post on this thread, I had said that my save file was deleted. I had tried enabling, and disabling steam cloud, but none of that worked. I log onto Don't Starve a few hours later to "catch up" again, and BAM! My save file! It has returned. Honestly, I have no idea what happened, but I'm glad I got my save back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
