Saved Games are all Red and Indicate that the Saved Game No Longer Exists

I've created about 3 new game as of 1.0 and have been playing them since a couple of weeks after the launch. Today I launch the app and all saved games are now red and cannot be launched.

I created a new save and I was able to log out then log back in. So I know this new save exists.

I tried to find the new saved game on my Mac and I cannot find it - I was trying to check if the old save actually do exist.

I'm ultimately trying to get my old saved games to work, but in order to troubleshoot I'm also trying to find where the new save is. I've checked in ~/Library/Application Support/7DaysToDie, but the folder doesn't exist even after creating the new Saved Game.

I'm on a Mac

I'm using Steam

 
For us non technical folks, this is proving to be a challenge. I have downloaded the previous worlds into the worlds folder and placed a backup of my existing world that I made prior to updating the game back into the saves folder. When I load the game, i can select my world, but upon load, the error, "no height data found for worls Pregen08kA" has me loading within blocks, underground. if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd love assistance.

From the log:

FileNotFoundException: No height data found for world 'Pregen08kA'
  at ChunkProviderGenerateWorldFromRaw+<Init>d__17.MoveNext () [0x002d1] in <54d23961b4694411b8ff2c73b12524ef>:0 
  at UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine.InvokeMoveNext (System.Collections.IEnumerator enumerator, System.IntPtr returnValueAddress) [0x00026] in <dfbdd4656e0844829a5285bde9c1a365>:0 

on the last attempt the game hung up at the initializing world screen and failed to load.

If a video could help I'll do one, give me a little bit

 
sadly, i am getting the same error. perhaps i am just too old to figure this all out. do you know if FP will be doing this again? it's my second restart since the latest version came out, total 56 hours in the first version, then another 49 in this last one. starting over is fun, but losing the progress is kind of discouraging. :(

At any rate, I truely appreciate your efforts on our behalf.

Drat. IF you want further help, take some screenshots of what your world folder, save folder, and such look like (mostly screenshots following the video but of what your setup looks like). You can DM me/chat with me on Discord if you'd like. I don't mind helping out. As far as that goes, unlikely but maybe. I would stick with RWG for now or disable automatic updates for the game, so you can come here and view what changed and what you need to do to make sure your save is safe before updating. Backups are also great to do.

Just to add, it is only a few days until stable releases.  It would usually be a good option to restart with stable anyhow, so might be worth waiting until then to start a new game if you can't get this sorted out.
