I figured out where the saves went. The new update places the saves in the "roaming" folder under appdata. I copied the old saves from the previous game folder in the "Local" folder into the new folder and it worked fine.
Please let's try to clarify this , since, like for most people, all my saves are gone since 2 updates (0.45 and now 0.47)
Please answer the following questions:
1 - Do the saves have to be copied from Local to Roaming or from Roaming to Local?
2 - Which sub folder exactly contains the saves AND the Scene Gallery? In other worlds which is the folder that holds the saves of versions 0.45 and 0.47)
3 - Do we have to copy the whole folder "User Data" with all it's sub folders or just the sub folder "Default" (which also contains a lot of more sub folders and data)?
4 - Since i didn't do this in version 0.45 but just gave up playing due to lack of saves, is it OK to do this now directly in v.047 or I must do it first in 0.45 and play that one first?
If anybody else succeeded to transfer the saves to the new version, please be so kind and advise.
If meanwhile there is a version that does not have this problem, please let me know where i can get it.
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS - For those who can hardly wait to say: "hey you idiot the anser is already here you must just search the thread" please be informed that I did search and found many answers but none of them were clear enough to follow. That's why i had to ask the questions above to the one who's answer was the most near to a functional one. But I still don't know from where to where to copy and WHAT EXACTLY to copy..
