A bit of an immediate update but I checked the save file and the whole thing is basically gone. If you've ever looked at the save files, you'll know how much there is to it. I still don't know what caused it but I'm left with just this;So, I've encountered this bug where I've gotten to the end of the main quest, or near enough, on the latest version. I saved and went to do something else for a while and when I came back, I couldn't load the save file nor the autosave. I can load a previous save just fine and start, save and load a new game perfectly, but whenever I try to load my main save, nothing happens. I thought it just might be trying to load and left it for a bit, but there's no way it's that. I've noticed that when I try to load it, I can click on the back button, confirmation toggle button, and the main menu button, but nothing happens either.
I'm using the .exe version if that helps but I downloaded the .jar as well and when I tried loading it on that, I got the same problems.
The obvious answer is that it's a problem with the save files themselves, rather than the game, but I still don't know what's causing it. I had edited the save files previously to give myself a bit of a money boost, but nothing else apart from that.
I want to know if anyone's encountered a similar problem and if they managed to fix it, or at least found what was causing it.

In case you didn't notice, those were all catagories that were supposed to have lines of code between them. And there's nothing, not even a shred of my player data.
So to summerise, after pretty much reaching the end of the main quest, my save decide to jump off a bridge and now I have no way of recovering it or even knowing what caused it.
