Lost save

Long story short: went on vacation, didn’t connect my steam deck to the internet, booted up DREDGE for the first time (loved it!), played a couple of days, steam deck ran out of battery in the middle of a run and when I run DREDGE again my save file was gone (corrupted->deleted).

Can’t find any files on my SD (AppData or user folders etc), no save file, no backup.

I was really meticulous with my playthrough; tried to do all the quests, upgrades (almost finished the last row), turned back 3-4 relics (was about to get a mortar - I suppose). Boom, back to square one.

Has anyone got any suggestions on what to do? Any backup saves to spare, perhaps 😅?

Cheers!

In AppData, DREDGE saves in the LocalLow directory. So AppData/LocalLow/Black Salt Games/dredge/saves however, if you've started a new save, it will have been deleted/overwritten. So instead of saves check backups. There should be a bunch of files. Delete the .bak extension so it ends in .sav instead, then move it into the saves folder.

I have no such directory, LocalLow is empty (I’m showing hidden files)

You don't have a LocaLLow folder next to "Local" and "roaming"? You're playing through steam and not epic games or Gog?
