Hi! I wanted to play again after few days, but my saved game couldnt be found. The "load" option is just dark, but i'm already few hours in and would hate to loose it all. Never had this issue before. I looked at the path where the game finds saves, even changed it a few times, but it didn't help and I don't know what to do next. I didn't do anything between my play few days back and today. I can see all of my previous saves in a file, so they still exist, but I can't get the game to see them. Is it a fixable issue?
I'm new to gaming and not very (not at all) tech-savvy, so I don't really know what to do.
Thank you kindly for your reply.
