I seem to have lost my saves!

I'm not sure what happened, but I've lost ALL of my local saves.

Game Versions: 0.3.26 AND 0.3.28
Browser Version: I use the downloaded game.
No error code, so no screenshot.

I am, however, going to test something. See, the game's top-left name has been "coc2electron" for some time now, and it started being "CoC2" just now. I'm gonna see if moving some files from one folder to another helps.

EDIT: Back, no dice. Any idea what to do?

Have you posted a save file recently, like for a big report?

That'd be a negative. The funny thing is, it was working just fine an hour ago, but then I closed it, and when I came back, they were gone. It was the weirdest thing.

Have you tried using your computer's Search function to sort through all of your files? I forget what the save extension is, but search for that.

EDIT: Try .coc2

He's using the downloaded version.

For the inbuilt saves (not the Save to File ones) they're contained as a batch in the data_[number] files located in the coc2electron folder, which should be found in your Users/AppData/Roaming directory. I'd suggest making sure that folder is still there and you didn't somehow create a second one that the game is currently looking at.

Unfortunately, after several attempts to modify my folders and fix the files, it doesn't appear to be fixing the issue.

Having just encountered a seemingly similar situation (and realized the cause) one more thought: You didn't by any chance accidentally open up multiple copies of the game at once, did you? Because I did that forgetting I already had a window open and that caused the saves to not appear in the second window, presumably because they were already 'in use' and couldn't be seen for Programming Reasons.
