Well when you save a Renpy game it makes 2 saves in different locations, one is inside the game main installation inside the game folder and is a folder named "Saves". And also every Renpy game uses another location and the usual route is System Drive usually C:>Users>(your windows user name)>AppData (This folder usually is hidden by default so you have to set the file explorer to show hidden files/folders)>Roaming>RenPy.Alright so maybe I'm missing something. Do I need to copy my save folder over to the new update folder to not have to play from the beginning of chapter 8?
And then in that location appears all the RenPy folders with a "backup" of the RenPy games you made saves. If you didn't delete that location or made a new OS installation, your saves should be there, and when you run a game you played before the saves appear in your game.
Since I usually keep my favorite games that I played before in a separate drive, I usually move the save folder to the new game installation, unless the game update supplies an update only zip file and there is no need since I use the same installation.
So my advice is, run the new version and check if appears your old saves, if so it is using the "backup". If they don't appear and you have the older version move the Saves folder to the new one.
If my explanation is too complicated just DM me or maybe someone else here maybe explain it to you better
