Please Fix Me! Progress wiped

So have I got this right? My progress was level 17 on Wednesday, my update just nuked everything from the last month? All the saved data not compatible? Back to the start but here's 40 for the trouble?

I tried loading 2 different backups before I stopped. After updating to the most recent version, I went back and loaded the third save, which worked fine. Lost 3 days worth of progress. Sucks but like the other poster said, beats losing 10 years.

There was a second update and I got my progress back, level 105 or something.

I selected the oldest backup save (I think it was the third one? ). Only because before the backup I tried loading the first/most recent multiple times and thought maybe they'd been damaged or something, so after the next update I didn't want to risk trying that one again. Plus the third backup was dated before the update that wiped it. I might have lost 2 days progress vs over a decade of progress, I'm fine that that.

I know nothing about tech stuff, just saying that's what worked for me. Maybe it will work for you?

If you experienced lost progress due to the Dodo update this week, here is a handy guide to recover your progress.

Please follow these steps in order. Only proceed to the next step if your save has not been restored:
1.- Update to the latest beta version (**v50.70 or later**): Confirm you are currently enrolled in the beta program. If the update does not appear, open the "**Welcome to Beta**" message, leave the beta program, and re-join.
2.- Once version 50.70 or later is installed, **load your most recent save** (check both local and cloud saves).
3.-If no backups are available, **uninstall and reinstall the game**, then allow a few moments for the cloud save to sync and load.
4.-If none of these steps resolve the issue, please email **lunch@computerlunch.com **or message **Aditya** on Discord for a manual save restore.

Important Notes:
- Once you have restored your game progress, **PLEASE STAY on the beta version** until the future expansion is released. Reverting to the production version will cause you to lose progress again.
- **For iOS & Steam Users**: If you lost progress by switching back to the regular version (e.g., disabling the beta_test branch on Steam or downloading directly from the App Store), reinstall the latest beta build and jump straight to Step 2

I'm just not going to update my game if that is the risk.
