Hi, sorry for making a second thread in as many days. So I'm in my first season in OotP, and still learning how everything actually works. So I've been making occasional backup saves in case I severely screw something up and want to rewind. I've made backups at the end of April, May, and after making a big extension to one of my star players. I finally got to June 6 and wanted to make a backup before the draft as I have no idea how it'll actually work until I go through with it.

So I made my backup as usual, then decided to move all my saves and backups into a folder on my external HD for safekeeping. Then I deleted everything in my Saves and Backup Saves folders but the current ones (for June 6). And now all of a sudden I can't load any saves. When I try to load game it says I have no save files (even though I do) and when I try to restore from backup, even though it says it's successful, when I go to load there is no save to be found. If I check the save folder after trying a restore, I find a save file folder exactly as I've named it, but it's completely empty. I've tried this for all my old saves and backups and getting the same response.

Can anyone see if I'm doing something wrong? Or is it just a bug?
