I played the breach update all the way through, and took a break for about 2-3 months and came back to play the game and after installing the latest updates, my game save data is not registering when i launch the game, is there anything that I can do to fix this? my save data seems to be in my user folder but it all shows up as “Any DVDs” , along with all my realms I can see things that should be loading but they arent

Hi Ryujin!

Could you provide us with the files that are asked for here: [How to Properly Report Bugs!](https://forum.norestforthewicked.com/t/how-to-properly-report-bugs/32)

You can share them with us via WeTransfer or Google Drive for example.

To start troubleshooting:

- are you running the game from within Steam library or the shortcut provided by Steam?
- If you are running the game straight from the .exe in the installation folder, is your data being loaded correctly?

Let me know!

Silas

Are you launching the game from Steam, or are you using a shortcut to the .exe file? If you’re doing a shortcut to the exe file, please don’t do so, and launch the game from Steam directly or a shortcut that uses the steam:// protocol.

It’s a known issue where if you launch from .exe you get a different profile, and will be fixed with the next update.

Let me know if this fixes it.  
Thanks 😄

Hello,

Thank you for your attention to my issue, I switched from beta back to non beta and that seemed to work, my realms and saves are back in the breach version.

Respectfully yours,

Ryujin
