Bug : renaming folder make saved files disappear !

Post by Logales »

Hi,
I just realized a very strange bug on CSB for Windows.

I wanted to rename the folder containing all the files of the Custom dungeon I was playing. But when I did so, all my saved games mysterisouly disappeared.

There's a workaround and I was lucky it worked. I simply renamed my folder with the previous name, and my saved files reappeared !

I wanted to let you know !

I do not see a bug here.
The saved games had not disappeared from the file system. Renaming the folder broke the CSBWin access path to the saved games.

You're right. I didn't know how to call what happened. When I saw all 4 blank squares, I was a little bit unsettled as I had spent some time playing this Custom Dungeon.

But in case people have the same issue,I thought I could reassure them by giving a simple solution.
