Omg hours upon hours of wasted time. How could you Matrixgames? All my saved games are gone! You should have put that in the changelogs if it was going to do this?! God I can't believe this I actually had a good game going for once....40 colonies and growing, tons of income and thousands of ships.

Hi Neotheone,

It did not delete your saved games. It creates a new folder for each version. Just navigate "up" two folders, then into the folder for the old version when you go to load a game and you'll find them.

There's no saved game folder in the directory Erik. I've done searches on the saved game names and nothing is appearing.

Whew! You were right there's other saved folders Hidden behind the 7.05 one. Plus when I was doing my search I was only searching drive C: and this game is on drive F:
I'm already frustrated with how complicated and micromanagy this game is that would have been the icing on the cake if I lost this last save. Thanks for the speedy help. Why aren't you inbed anyways isn't it late where you are?

Focus on one element at a time. When you feel good with that then select another to manage. If I can learn this so can you.
