Applesauce Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I got onto niche today like I do through steam I see this. Trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds. I wasn't very fond of any of those saves, but it's still concerning because I don't want it to happen again when I actually have good games going. Is this a me problem? I don't remember doing anything, figgiting with any settings. I was on yesterday and it was fine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT26 - A Nicheling Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It also happened to me once after I tried to backup the saves into a folder, when I came back the game was like that. And when I tried to add the saves back it didn’t work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT26 - A Nicheling Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 @Philo I just had this issue and I didn’t even touch the files or did anything to them. I just joined and my saves where gone again! They are still on the saves folder but they don’t appear on the game! Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT26 - A Nicheling Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Now I’m trying to uninstall the game and then download it again. Let’s see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philo Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 @Impy10 @Applesauce @A Nicheling Hey folks, you are absolutely right, this is a new bug on Mac! We will make a new build with a fix next week. Meanwhile here is a workaround, if you want to access your old save files now: Go to: /Library/Application Support/unity.Team Niche.Niche - a genetics survival game/Saves Copy the save files from the and paste it into this folder: /Library/Application Support/com.strayfawnstudio.niche/Saves Does this work for you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Luckily I got a windows computer for Christmas and when I downloaded niche on it all the saves were there again I was surprised I didn’t even lose any progress. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philo Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 @A Nicheling@Impy10 @Applesauce Ok the issue should be fixed! Would you folks mind helping us to test if it really works now? If yes, switch to the Preview Branch on Steam and check if your save files are shown again. Ping me with your results please ❤️ Thank you ^^ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 @SilverHowl Are you/is he using the new build on the preview branch? If not, that means you're using the workaround I provided earlier, right? What we're trying to figure out is wheter the game automatically loads the right save files again in the new build on the preview branch. This has been a problem on Mac only.

sarac Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I had the same problem and found this page after searching through my filesystem and finding the two locations ("unity.Team Niche.Niche - a genetics survival game" versus "com.strayfawnstudio.niche") and searching to see if anyone else had reported the problem before I experimented with copying files around. (It's ironic when the only way you can find the solution is to already know the solution, but so it goes.) I switch Steam to using the beta "release_preview" version, and it didn't help. Was that the right version? (For added fun, for ages I couldn't figure out how to rename saved games, and the game doesn't prompt you to (or at least not that I've ever noticed), so all my games are named "New Game" even when they're many hours old. But when I load them, the game starts the tutorial, so they're truly "new" and not my saved games.) I'm going to copy the files by hand for now, but I have "Time Machine" backups and can go back to how things were if you want me to test again/differently. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
