Hi, yesterday I was playing MM6 for several hours saved a few times and then the game crashed when I tried to enter Gharik's forge.

I rebooted the game and the last save it remembered was from the day before, is there any way I can recover my saves, it seems strange that it would specifically forget all the saves on the day of the crash. Very irritating if I've lost the saves, especially since I got some decent enchanted items that might have been random luck and some of the fights I did were quite a grind (especially on the island of the forge)

Thanks for any help

Edit: I'm running it on a windows 10 OS

Please, check the contents of "Saves" folder, in the game's main directory.
Also, check if there is a "Might and Magic" folder in "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\GOG.com\". I fear that the savegames were stored into the VirtualStore space and then they were lost during the crash.

If it is in the "Saves" folder, it should appear in the game's loading screen.

For some reason the save did not materialise on the game loading screen, either as a save or autosave, it must've become corrupted. I just replayed it after a few days of sulk and caught back up. Thankyou for your help.
