Does anyone else have problems with lost saves? Both via the offline installers and via Galaxy? Restarted a new game twice and can now start a new game again.

Same here, Are they online? Happened when Gog did an update

had the exact same problem....what solved it for me was to restart the computer and the saves were back

What I found is that is the game directory contained 2 subdirectories with names consisting of a lot of numbers. I guess these are for different profiles. One of them contained my saves, the other was nearly empty. After a making a backup of the directories I moved my save games to the nearly empty directory and that got me my saves back.

If found the save files at this location: C:\Users\<MyUserName>\AppData\Local\BendGame\Saved
