You sir are a life saver. I have over 450 hours into 1 farm and for some reason it got corrupted. I couldn't have done this without your help. Thank you and God Bless.

[@Oearth]

Glad it helped! I was hard to find any reliable information on file restoration, so I thought a video on it would really save some folks. Farming Simulator is somewhat of a side-series for my channel, but I do enjoy the game a lot!

[@Zeee254]

This was great and to the point! My game crashed while saving and completely deleted the save game from the menu, using this I was able to get it back! Thank you so much!!

[@Oearth]

Really like getting comments like this!! :D So glad it was helpful!

[@vincentjohnson5167]

God bless you sir! I stopped playing for a couple of days because I got stressed out over a mistake I made with the landscape. Once again thank you!

[@tittlesquate]

What if i dont have any saved games or a "My Games" folder?

[@Oearth]

@tittlesquate. Here's a couple other ways to maybe find your saved games. There are a couple default "Documents" folders on you PC (which can make things tricky) - the one you want is under a "OneDrive" folder - which is where the "Document" folder is I showed in the Video...it's just mapped there by default. You can go to C:/Users//OneDrive and find the Documents folder you want with the the rest of the "MyGames/FarmingSimulator2022" path I showed. If you're still having trouble, go click on the C: drive...right there on the root (not on a folder), and search in the field in the upper right of your File Explorer window, type in "FarmingSimulator2022". Give the computer a minute to think about it, but it'll return 2 or 3 results with one of them having the .../OneDrive/Documents/MyGames path your looking for. Good Luck and let me know how it turns out!!

[@McBarno1]

I've found the cause of the reason it happend to me: i downloaded a trailer and it had a auto bale loading mode when i used that to pick up bales some of them would glitch and stay on the trailer. I cant move them in any way they just float in the air and to get rid of it i sold the trailer and if i tried to save after that event it had the loading.

[@TruckdriverJONTEZZ]

Thanks it helpd

[@Oearth]

Glad it helped!

[@arkaev6795]

[@codyscorner2.082]

why dont i have a folder for save game backup

[@Oearth]

[@faze_rs7220]

Yoo i have question how beckup mods folder?

[@Klx1234lol]

Bro js saved me 300+ hours on my saved game

[@Oearth]

Awesome - Glad to hear! :)

[@kirbysmith4135]

Save your bacon. 😂 All my folders are manila and in a 4 drawer file cabinet. 😊 Catastrophic event. I hate when that happens. 😠 Love the farming!!

[@chadosmen]

same I like farming

[@n0t3lite75]

Will this still work if I close the world and when I go to menu it doesn’t show up cause this keeps happening to me when I put 6+ hours in a world just for it to be gone.

[@Oearth]

@n0t3lite75 It should. The default autosave is at 15 minute intervals, so unless the autosave has accidentally been turned off or set to some very long time interval, it should restore your game back to no more that 15 minutes after you closed the game. The autosave setting is for each individual world/farm. So to check on it, open and start the game, press to get to the settings, and you'll find it near the bottom of the options on the left - it's the one with a tractor and gearwheel. As a side note: Mods can sometimes interfere with normal game behavior, but you may not be running any...just thought I'd mention it. Good Luck!

[@larastruckingllc]

who can help me. i cant find my folder in documents and i tried to find it anywhere but i cant find my fs22 file

[@Oearth]

@larastruckingllc - Here's a couple other ways to find it. There are a couple default "Documents" folders on you PC - the one you want is under a "OneDrive" older - which is where the "Document" folder is I showed in the Video...it's just mapped there by default.

[@larastruckingllc]

@@Oearth thank you so much, now I pin it to quick access thank You so much ❤️

[@Oearth]

You're very welcome - glad I could help! :)

[@camothewhamo]

your a "gamesaver" thanks you so much i though my game was fked (lets just say my friend found the landscaping tool)

[@Oearth]

I completely understand how that accident happened with “your friend!” 🤣

[@connormager4942]

my game crashed and all 410 hrs of work gone wiped everything i have no idea why all the saves are gone but it saved all ingame mods and old files but got rid of everything else

[@Oearth]

Late response here (so sorry about that), but it could be a hard-drive or bad sector kind of issue that not only crashed the game, but made the save file also unreadable. I can't say with any certainty, but it would explain both things that happened. Hope you find and answer!

[@maks_ster]

What to do on mac😭😭😭

[@Oearth]

I know absolutely nothing about Macs but maybe you could do a direct search for the key part of the file name/path, and find where the same files are on your computer. Like click on the C: drive...right there on the root (not on a folder), and in a search field type in "FarmingSimulator2022". Give the computer a minute to think about it, and maybe it'll return 2 or 3 results with one of them having the .../MyGames path your looking for. Good Luck and let me know how it turns out!!

[@Ghost-ok9dh]

I do not have a savegame backup folder

[@Oearth]

It's created automatically by the game in the folder area I showed in the vid. Maybe look again?

[@flakcannon722]

Thats the realistic part of the game. One unresponsable act and you livelyhood is poked

[@Oearth]

I agree that I don't think it should be used to undo a bad decision - stuff like that is just part of the game and realism as you mentioned. But hovering over a barn to just see what it looks like or how big it will be on your property, then your finger accidentally twitching and placing it somewhere - that sort of thing seems like fair game for an 'undo'. That's what happened to me and was the genesis for this video - I was like...what just happened? Why is there a barn in the middle of my field? Did I just buy that?!?

[@goofyhawk7170]

wow i wish i knew u could just download ur saves before i reset my computer i lost 130hrs and 10 saved games i thought the saved games would go to my account😔

[@maciejgostynski823]

Why I can't see any savegames there?

[@Oearth]

@maciejgostynski823. I’m not exactly sure which files or folders you’re not seeing, but there are a couple different “Documents” folders. Here’s a couple other ways to find the right one. There are a couple default "Documents" folders on your PC - the one you want is under a "OneDrive" folder - which is where the "Document" folder is I showed in the Video...it's just mapped there by default. You can go to C:/Users//OneDrive and find the Documents folder you want with the the rest of the "MyGames/FarmingSimulator2022" path I showed.

Good Luck and let me know how it turns out!!

[@maciejgostynski823]

OK i repaired it and my savegame works❤️❤️❤️

[@Oearth]

@maciejgostynski Awesome to hear!! :D

[@-benjos-1-219]

I have a different arrangement of files

[@Oearth]

There are a couple different "Document" folders on most computers. Maybe check one of the comments below where I helped a person find the right one...assuming that may be your problem on the 'arrangement of files'. Good Luck!

[@owenchan8431]

didn't work for me shit. copied the files just like you said into new game save folder but still got nothing

[@Oearth]

Let me know what problem you were trying to fix, and any steps - I'd like to help if I can!

[@madsemilkock5117]

Thank you sir!
