I saved my game and turn the application off as well as truning my laptop off but now I played the game again after 6 hours it wont let me click continue to play my saved game, I am using the latest version/update? And using windows, does me having to extract files of the winrar zip of the ga,e file folder and locating it to my desktop in file explorer with a new folder for it the reason for it happening?
You unzipped and moved the folder after you played?
If you saw it save, then it should have saved somewhere that still exists, but if you unzipped it a second time, it isn't connected to your save.
Some games save in the User appdata. Which means you can delete the game entirely reload it, and the save still exists.
ASWS doesn't do it that way, it saves into the folder the you play the game out of. Wherever the game.exe you played the first time is located, there is a www folder in that same location. In the www folder there is a save folder. That is where your save is.
In order for the save to be recognized by the game, your save folder has to be in the www folder wherever you play the game out of. It can moved around freely, it just has to be there. Like when the next update comes out, I can download it, then copy my old save folder and put it into the new update of the game folder, and the save will be recognized.
