GoG just automatically updated my game with today's Windows 10 update (15/07/19). But now all my save games are gone (although still in the save game folder). I was running the popTB.exe application up until now because the D3DpopTB.exe wasn't working on Windows 10. Now it's the other way round (D3DpopTB loads, popTB doesn't) but my save games haven't carried over. Admittedly I was running a custom map pack but don't think that should have affected it. It was a hard campaign and now I've lost my progress :(
Also, I can't actually start a new game. It just plays the opening video then keeps asking if I want to do the tutorial. Again, not sure if this is the update or the custom map pack. Wasn't having any trouble in popTB.exe before the update.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

Same problem here with original game.

There was another update the following day which solved the problem. Thanks for sorting quickly GoG!
