Any way to recover a file?

This is probably the wrong category, but I just tried testing my game in studio, and after stopping the test, it just closed.

No big deal, I thought. Except the last autosave file for this place is from the 22nd for some reason?

What do I do? Losing hours of work like this kinda sucks :confused:

You don’t save your game every few minutes?

Nope. I was locked in too much :pensive:

I just trusted that the autosaves will work. Ive never had anything like this happen before, nor have I ever accidentally closed studio without saving.

And actually, it seems like autosaves dont work at all?

Despite this being printed:

No new file is created:

How does one fix this? Setting is indeed enabled:

That is wierd. Do you ever get the autosave popup when entering studio? Try to open the folder it says to.

This ended up being the answer! I didnt expect this at all, but apparently the autosave folder has moved?

It used to be Documents/ROBLOX/AutoSaves, but opening the folder from studio instead opens AppData/Local/Roblox/RobloxStudio/AutoSaves. Weird.

I cant mark your reply as an answer, but thank you so much!

EDIT: Well actually I can just change the category and do that lol
