I wrote, planned, and mapped a set of encounters for my group. I go to check it a bit later and most of is GONE. The map I used still has the mask effects, still has all the pips I dropped, BUT all of the encounters are gone, all of the work I did to write it, all of the tokens and NPCs I did is just gone.

Can anyone explain what I did wrong? It is set to autosave, it did save, and before I left i /save.

I also lost all the PC character sheets I entered.

I really want to be able to recover, but I can't do all this work only to lose it randomly...

Thanks for any assistance!

The data is auto-saved every 5 minutes, and when you exit the application.

When someone has had a save problem, it usually boils down to a file permissions issue on their FG data folder, or using a file synching solution on your FG data directory (i.e. OneDrive, DropBox, etc.).

If it is possibly a permissions issue, try this thread:

Also make sure you aren't trying to save to Drive, or OneDrive, or DropBox or any syncing folder.
