Crash on switch leaving for Charon -- lost save file. Any way out of this?
I'm on the newest 1.1.0c on Switch. Leaving through Charon and the game crashes. Save file completely gone.
This sucks. Really sucks. I haven't had a save eating bug in any game in a very long time. Can't muster the motivation to start over. I hate it because the game was really good up to this point.
Any way to get a Chapter 2 save on the Switch? I realize it would be easier to do something like this on a PC.
I hope the devs fix this because it completely ruins the game. I can't believe how amateur it is to eat the entire save. I don't mind losing an autosave's worth of time, but to start the entire game over? Disappointing.
If you can't fix the bug then at least design a better save system that has backups and failsafes.
edit: Got it back, solution in comment below.

For anyone who gets this issue, here is what you have to do:
Start a new game (since that's the only option you get...)
Save at the refrigerator
Return to title
Start game again, and you can find your old save there
DEVS! This was an awful turn of events. I thought the game ate my save. After my crash, the only option I got was "Start game" and it goes through the beginning sequence, like my other save game wasn't there. It wasn't until I started and saved a totally new file that I could access my old save.
There needs to be a more obvious way to access saves from the main menu. Not sure why the save select screen wasn't coming up for me after the crash.
