OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Game freeze caused saved game to vanish from continue game folder

I was playing with my St. Louis River Walkers franchise Tuesday night, I started it on OOTP18 and currently using OOTP and am in the offseason between the 2033 and 2034 season.
I was quickly advancing through days as there are no games or other duties.
When it just froze at 19 percent. I walked away for 10 minutes, hoping it would solve itself.
It did not, still 19 percent.
So I shut the game down, and when I went back to the continue game folder it was empty.
I went to the load game folder and when I clicked it, I got a World.dat folder not found.
I found a backup, but it was dated Sept. 1.
Admit to being bad at backup, this was the first incident I have had with the game since moving up to OOTP22.
At the time of the crash, I was siming in early November.
Anyway to get back to where I was.
If not, this could be the end of the River Walkers franchise.
