This means your save files still exist, but the game cannot find them. To help the game find them, follow these easy steps:
1) Open a Windows file explorer window, type %localappdata% in the location field, and press Enter. You will now be in your computer's local app data folder, where OUTTA GAS save files are kept.
1) Open a Windows file explorer window, type %localappdata% in the location field, and press Enter. You will now be in your computer's local app data folder, where OUTTA GAS save files are kept.
2) Navigate to and open the folder named EA_1ST_HALF_ACT_1. Inside, you will find your save files from the first round of EARLY ACCESS (build 0.40).
3) Copy the save files you wish to bring over into the new build, e.g., save_3.sav. (NOTE: You can also copy the settings.sav file if you wish to restore your game settings, such as master game volume)
4) Navigate up one folder level back to Local App Data. Alternatively, you can type %localappdata% in the location field again and press Enter.
5) Navigate to and open the folder named OUTTA_GAS in the Local App Data directory. You will now be in the folder where the game is looking for save files.
6) Paste a copy of your save files in this folder. Include the copy of your settings.sav file here if you want to restore your game settings (i.e., master volume, particle settings).
7) At this point, the game should be able to locate your save files. Verify LOAD in the game's main menu is now enabled. Clicking on LOAD should open a menu where you can load your previous save files from build 0.40.
