The saved game I was playing is not loading in regular and beta. I was reading that this can be caused by updates. Should I wait to start a new game when the new update is out in January? ---

Hey Cruzan! I see you are having some trouble, can I ask if you know when you played last? There’s a couple of things to unpack here, could you start with providing us some files? They are listed here: [How to Properly Report Bugs!](https://forum.norestforthewicked.com/t/how-to-properly-report-bugs/32) including how to get them! Hope to hear from you, Silas ---

My world and characters disappeared after the co-op beta ended. Can I recover them? ---

This may sound trite, but could you try to restart steam, and see if that works? Silas ---

No, disregard that. I need first both of you to verify; Did you create your character/Realm in the Experimental branch (beta)? Silas ---

This is the case for me. Will the saves/characters/realms made in de experimental build (and the current build for that matter) during the beta be accessible after the new release on the 22nd or de we start fresh? ---

If everything goes okay, then yes 😉 No hard guarantee so far on this, Moon is still deliberating on this. You will have to bridge gap from now till the 22nd if you only created characters/Realms in the beta! Silas ---
