After a few months break, all of my progress is gone.

Logged on for the first time in a bit, and all of my characters are gone, my workshop progression has been reset, all currency gone. It's like I've started playing the game for the first time, not since it came out.

I Returned to Icarus after a long break and all of my characters are gone as well. I had multiple characters and I know none of them were in a mission and they are all gone with progress reset on everything.

I have the same problem, I haven't played Icarus in a while. I lost everything. I read about some character migration according to instructions, but it doesn't work. Please advise us. Well thank you.

Hi there,

Back in December, Icarus changed where it stores your game data. We migrated from a central server to storing your game data on your local PC. You can read more about this in our Week 53 update: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1149460/view/3611354355089820956

For the three months after this change, everyone loading the game had their data automatically migrated and downloaded locally. In March the central servers were closed and we no longer store your game or character data. Unfortunately we can't restore it for you.

However, some community members have been sharing instructions for altering your game files in order to build your characters up a bit quicker in our discord: https://discord.gg/surviveicarus . I've attached a screenshot with that.

Thanks
