No idea how you encountered the issue in the first place, but for future, always retain the Profile folder & all of its contents.Not sure what went wrong. Downloaded and Extracted to my "Downloads" folder where I have always done with every game and have never had an issue remotely like this. I'll probably start a new game, but would appreciate a post showing how to avoid this issue with future updates.
As long as you have that, you will have your saves.
When you Extract, always do it to the root of the folder, not inside the previous game's one. Seen a number of people run into problems this way. Particularly with folder lists that are too long.
As long as you have admin rights to your Downloads folder, where you extract the game to, you should be fine.
