As stated in another post, I upgraded from 32138b to 32479.
While doing so, I saved the folder located at /home/user/.config/unity3d/Thunder Lotus Games/Spiritfarer/
which contained: "output.txt", "Player-prev.log", "Player.log", "prefs', and "USER_INFO.sav"

I uninstalled 32138b and installed 32479. Ran the program and got the glitch mentioned in my other thread.
I reverted the same way (uninstall then reinstall) and the saved games were gone.
Copied the backup back into the save location with no effect.

Any ideas what went wrong?
