Hi everyone,

Today, I opened FGU to check and prepare my game for Wednesday (just as I did yesterday without any problem).
As I was opening my campaign, FGU asked me if I wanted to use the new 2024 rules (it had already asked me months ago, so I find it strange). I said no and launched my campaign.
Everything is gone, characters, player notes, encounters, images, items, NPCs, parcels, tables, story, etc...

Surprisingly, I still have my shortcuts.

I immediately checked my User/AppData/Roaming/SmiteWorks/FantasyGrounds folders, and I have all my images, tokens, and portraits.

Why has everything disappeared? What should I do?

Yesterday, I cleared my computer’s cache, could this be linked somehow?

I’ve been playing this campaign with my friends for 2 years, they are at the last chapter, level 11, and I’ve spent at least 500 hours working on it… Please help me.

I would start with checking out this video and checking to see if a session file was created that you will take your campaign back to the date.

I highly suggest not to delete anything, but making copies prior to attempting.

It works!

I'm so relieved... thank you for your help!

I almost had a heart attack earlier...

Wahoo, thank you again, you're a life savior :)
