Recent saved games disappeared from computer Yesterday at 20:32 #160332

Hi - I have recently been running a chain between Brighton and Lancing without any issues, but suddenly when I tried to resume where I left off from the last session about a week ago, I have not been able to locate any recent save files for Lancing. The Brighton files are all there, but anything from about 2 months ago for Lancing literally disappeared and have gone from the SimSig folder where they are normally saved.

Can I ask if anybody else has had this issue, and does anybody have any suggestions as to how to recover the missing files....? I have checked all the usual things like making sure no files are hidden, checking the viewing permission, restarting the PC etc etc but all to no avail.

Thanks

Have you looked in the recycle bin (usually hiding on your C: drive)?

Thanks for the response, but yes I have done that already. It seems strange that save files from last year are still in the folder, but everything later than late Dec 2024 has disappeared. What is puzzling me is that it is only the Lancing folder that has been affected - all others are fine.

Check which type of 'date' Windows is showing you.

I have noticed that 'date created' can be preferred to 'date modified'. You might find the 'Dec 2024' are in fact the latest just showig the old 'date created' that has been overwritten due to the same filename for an automated save
