Cannot load save game #10
Description
What happened?
When I entered the second level of “The Sewer” and tried to load the game, it wouldn't work. The launcher displayed a notification saying “No save yet,” even though there was a save file in the save folder.
Where in the game were you, and what were you doing?

Does it happen again?

Thanks for the report. It has no problem report zip yet, and that zip is what finding the cause needs most.
In the launcher, press Report a problem (down the sidebar) and drag the zip it makes into a comment here. It goes in the
logsfolder beside the settings:%LOCALAPPDATA%\Ascension-R\logs, or next to the exe in a portable copy. If the launcher does not open, runAscension-R --reportfrom the folder of the exe. The zip holds the logs of your last sessions, your settings and your hardware, with your folder paths hidden, and no game files.If it happens at one place in the game, tick Include my saves, so the problem can be loaded where it happened before you press it.
Please don't attach any of the game's own files.

Thanks for the screenshots. They show the save files sitting directly in
savedata, not in their own folders. The game keeps each save in a folder of its own: the profile inBCUS98232-PROFDATA-0(DAT-1 to DAT-31, DATFEST, ICON0.PNG, PARAM.SFO) and its settings inBCUS98232-SYSDATA(SAVEDATA with its own ICON0.PNG and PARAM.SFO). It only looks inside those folders, so with the files loose it finds nothing, which is what the launcher's "No saves yet" says too.Did you copy these from somewhere, RPCS3 or a PS3 save? If so, copy the folders themselves into
savedata, not what is in them. The copy you have now can't be split back reliably: both saves have an ICON0.PNG and a PARAM.SFO, and one set overwrote the other.If the port wrote them like that while you played, I'd like to know: the problem report zip (Report a problem in the launcher) has the session's log, which shows where each save went.
Issues workflow: an edit takes needs-info off only with the report

The save folder is located here
D:\Ascension-R-0.1.0-alpha.7-kit\gamedata\dev_hdd0\home\00000001\savedata
and I did not copy this save folder from RPCS3 or a PS3 save file. This save file appears automatically when I create a save profile while playing using this launcher

You're right, and my guess was wrong: this is a bug in the port, and your log shows it. Thanks for sending it.
The game asks for each save by its folder name,
BCUS98232-PROFDATA-0for your profile andBCUS98232-SYSDATAfor its settings. One step of the port read that name twice. On most PCs the second read changes nothing, but where Windows puts the game's memory on yours it came out empty, so every save went intosavedataitself instead of its folder, and the next start found none.The fix is done and will be in the next release. Please wait for that release before you play on: until then, every save on 0.1.0-alpha.7 keeps going to the wrong place on your PC.
Your progress is probably still there. Once you have the new version, in that
savedatafolder:BCUS98232-PROFDATA-0.Both saves wrote their own ICON0.PNG and PARAM.SFO into the same place, so I can't promise the game takes the profile back. If it doesn't, a report (Report a problem) from that start will show why.
