Hello all, basically title.
I have a very old laptop in my student apartment that i mainly use for just looking some stuff up and also Pokemon Reborn, because most games don‘t run on my laptop anymore. A couple of days ago my laptop started an update as usual and i didn‘t think much of it. Today i started it up and got a message on the start-up screen but i was too fast to click it away to read and remember what it said. When my home screen popped up it looked like my laptop literally reset to factory settings, all my folders vanished from home screen and my background was the windows default all of a sudden. I found all my pokemon reborn files and other stuff in the trash and i tried restoring everything, but when i loaded up my game it only gave me the option to start a new one.
Funny thing is: i still have the „shortcut to save folder“ working and all my save files are in there, but when i renamed the latest save to game.dat and tried starting, my game completely crashed. Anyone had similar experiences and knows what to do?
Thanks for any help in advance, i really would like to keep playing and not start over as i was just getting out of early game and it started getting really interesting with teambuilding etc.
