My Saved Game is gone!
When I launched my Farming Simulator 17 version 1.5.3.1, I went to my games and found that my first saved game was missing. I tried to restart my computer but nothing worked. I put a lot of time into the game and I don't want to have to start over again. I you know how to fix this then please let me know.
Re: My Saved Game is gone!
Hello and welcome to the Forum!
Usually this happens due to a buggy mod that breaks the savegame when saving. But in order to be able to figure out exactly what has gone wrong we need more information about your setup.
Which platform are you playing on? Windows? macOS? PS4? Xbox?
If you are playing on Windows or macOS then please post the log.txt from the time when you tried to access the savegame (see the link 'log.txt' in my signature for instructions).

Re: My Saved Game is gone!
Also if you go to documents/my games/farming simulator 17 there will be a folder for savegame backups that should have all your previous work saved. But do what don says to find the problem first.

I don't really understand going to the log.txt. I went to the folder where it is and found the version file. When I opened it on notepad it said 1.5.3.0. I am on Windows 10.

Re: My Saved Game is gone!
I opened up the log file and found this. What you're looking for?
Edit don_apple: log.txt converted into spoiler for better thread readability.
Re: My Saved Game is gone!
Thans for providing the log.txt. I was hoping to see some errors related to the game trying to load the savegame.
But just to clarify: are you saying that the folder containing the savegame has physically disappeared from the 'FarmingSimulator2017' folder, for example the 'savegame1' folder doesn't exist anymore?
In that case have you already tried what NowHeresRoy suggested and attempted to copy a previous backup of the savegame from the 'savegameBackup' folder?

Re: My Saved Game is gone!
I haven't tried that yet. The folder is there but when I log onto the game it says that game is unused like one that I haven't made yet.

Re: My Saved Game is gone!
Go into the savegameBackup folder and find the game you were playing, if in first slot it will be savegame1, if the second slot savegame2, etc. All the savegame folders should be dated. Copy the folder that you need and paste it in the main directory (where the log file is) and make sure its named savegame1 and it should show up in game.

Re: My Saved Game is gone!
Should I delete the old "savegame1" that is already there and replace it with the backup folder and name it "savegame1?

Re: My Saved Game is gone!
@NowHeresRoy are you still there?
Re: My Saved Game is gone!
You can start by moving it to your desktop, then name your backup savegame1. If the save works delete the old one.

Re: My Saved Game is gone!
@DanRan so I should move the backup save to the desktop, name it savegame1 and launch the game. Then if it works then I should delete the old one?

I figured it out!
Thank you guys for all your help!
I had copied the latest backup to the main folder and named it "savegame1". I moved the original savegame1 folder somewhere else so I could name the backup, then I launched the game it it was there. I went on the world saved it, moved some things around, and it still worked! Thank you for all the help!
