Help finding an old save

I have done a very stupid thing and have overwritten my current save with an old one. I have lost a months work on Sandbox and my campaign islands. Now my only options when loading the campaign is the bad save that I have done, an auto save a few minutes after I loaded that. No old save exists.

I have ticketed frontier in hope they can help.

I have looked at my save game file in my C drive and no luck there.

Has anyone ever done this and found a way out? Is there anywhere else to look and can Frontier even help me?

I had two campaign saves. One I use all the time, with loads of work done, and one from a month ago when I made a new sandbox. I accidently loaded that month old save last night and then accidently saved it with the same name as my main save, hence I lost a months work.

Help appreciated
 
Not much that FD, or indeed anyone can do here. Unfortunately all saves are held on your computer alone, FD has no access to it.

As for you locating it, unless you have backed up all the files on your pc recently (I. E. Before accidentally loading up and overwriting your old save) I doubt you will be able to get it back.

I was thinking that, but is there anywhere else I can look for old files? Like steam or anything?

What you have saved in your Steam Cloud is pretty much the same as what is saved in your pc. Especially if you enabled cloud sync. Additionally, your savefile in the cloud (if cloud sync is enabled) is automatically replaced with the most recent save file you have, ergo, when you "Exit the Game".
 
I have a lot of save files for this game. I saved a lot. All you can do is find one of your previous saves where you don't lose much progress and use that one to start over.
 
Well thank you anyway guys for replying to the post.

Frontier can't help me, and yea.....the save has gone.

I wanted to come here and just let someone know. Its pretty sad and my partner or work mates would laugh if I said Id lost the save game of a computer game and it had hit me hard, like a mini depression!

I'm over it now and ready to move on, just a sleepless night and me being even more irritable at work was all that happened in the end.

That save game though!

It was all my work since the last update.

I had made the best ever sandbox island with all the new decorations and options and animals. It was a brilliant park.

And then the main upset. I had also gone back and using near infinate cash on each campaign island, completely redone them all by razing the place and making really beautiful parks. So much time spent. yea a month...all gone.

So now at the minute i'm drowning my sorrows doing Jurassic difficulty Nublar North challenge mode.

I really dont think I can return to the campaign islands for a while. I will wait now for the possible sandbox on all the islands if that comes. They are all 5 star unlocked anyway.
