Alpha 19 - did not delete saves but can't find save

[angrysquirrel]

Hi folks,

I went into the 7 days to die launcher and went into clean game data.   I checked removal of random generated worlds and maybe player profiles.  Not sure about player profiles but did select random generated worlds.  I then loaded up the game to load my save game.  It's not listed.  I then went into /appdata/romaing/7 days to die.  I see a saves folder created on 7/6.  Inside that folder I see navezgane folder, profiles and server admin.xml.  Inside that navezgane folder I see a mygame folder with a bunch of items in there.  It sucks because my guy was level 33 and that was a lot of hours put in.    How do I backup my save game in the future manually so this doesn't happen again?  I didn't check off delete save games but it's just not there.  Lesson learned not to trust the interface into doing what I think it's not going to do.  Anyway, if you folks could just tell me what  I need to manually back up  I'd appreciate it.  Thanks!

From your description it sounds like your save is still there. It doesn't show in your "continue game" menu?

Is it from a different version of the game?

If you post your log file, someone here may be able to figure it out.

just tell me what  I need to manually back up

Backup your /appdata/roaming/7daystodie folder to save your games. Backup your steamapps/common/7 Days to Die folder to save the game application.
