Problem with Challenge Mode saves being deleted

ajwindon · 02-02-2019, 04:00 PM

I have started 2 Challenge Modes recently and after closing the game and opening it back up I notice the Continue Game is grayed out and my Challenge Mode save has been completely wiped.

I also am still unable to start a Standard Game Challenge Mode and this has persisted since the launch of PT.

We might have found a potential fix to this.

Try this, go to the settings dialog (file menu), select the troubleshooting tab and click "Force game data re-installation".

Just for anyone else encountering the same issue.

Thanks
Alex

I would also verify on the settings menu, on the expert tab (I think), there's a path you can enter with the directory where your saved games live. I would double check that (there are buttons on the troubleshooting tab to open the various folders), and ensure they are pointed to where your saves actually are. It's very likely that something happened to change those paths, so if you can find the actual save files on your computer you should be able to change the paths on those tabs and potentially be able to load your games.
