lost all files because of choosing not to restore project

Hi there, i exited a project by accidentally powering off my computer, and ue didn’t close properly, but thats not the problem.

after restarting it, it gave me the option to restore the part of the project that i didn’t save. i clicked on “don’t restore” cuz i don’t needed that last part.

now suddenly all the project files are gone? which is weird because they are still in the designated folder in my file explorer…

ive had this problem before with smaller projects, but now i lost this big project im working on.

Does anyone know whats going on??

@ClockworkOcean im sorry i really need ur help on this one

Trouble is, there’s a reference screwed up somewhere. There’s probably no way out of this.

You could take a look in the Autosave folder in the Saves folder, might be something there.

Unfortunately, the lesson here is to backup on a regular basis. Then it doesn’t matter when something like this happens :-/

that’s rough. thanks for answering!
