I've lost all my progress 6 times at this point. I have been more than patient - letting this even get to 6 times is crazy; I've tried every single fix recommended to me; I've even tried to reverse to previous versions or use a backup - NOTHING. WORKS. My data suddenly just wipes after exiting the game, and then repeatedly wipes until I do another clean install and start from 0.
I cannot play this game if it doesn't save my progress, and I'm only as pissed as I am because I REALLY enjoy this game. I understand this is a common bug but the fact it's taken this long to address is just crazy.
