lost all my progress & characters

2 votes

Hey guys,

im very sad at the moment. :( Today i started Icarus after taking a break for a few month/updates. When i wanted to switch to character select i was wondering, because the game told me to create a new one... I had three maxed out characters for different purposes after 300hrs of playtime & now it is all gone :((

I really need some help, because i love Icarus.

Thanks in advance.

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
