OpenMW Savegame Files not Detected
Posted: 27 Apr 2019, 07:53
Hello all!
I opened the launcher after having played just last weekend, and it acted as if I had never opened it before. I went through the installation wizard, and none of my profiles were still there. I rebuilt a new profile using the same (or as close to the same) mod selections as before, and launched the game. When I went to load the game, I couldn't find my most recent character (with saves ranging in age of several weeks), only my first character I had made. There were multiple saves of this character ranging about a month of time, and the files are definitely still there. Given the way this is manifesting (by character and not by savefile), I doubt that it's hard drive failure.
Is there some sort of filtering that goes on that would cause the engine not to recognize these save files? Is it a matter of perfectly matching the selected mods to be able to recognize the save file?
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
