IDLE BOSS RUSH: My Savefile Got Corrupted/deleted/doesnt Exist Anymore (?) (Fix)
Short answer
Hi! Please check if you have any saves in %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Irid Games/IDLE BOSS RUSH Is there a file IBR_SaveData02.dat.bak?
How to fix it
- Open your computer's save data folder by pasting
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Irid Games/IDLE BOSS RUSHinto your file explorer. - Look for a backup file named
IBR_SaveData02.dat.bak(without the.histextension). - If that file is present, first create a safety copy of all files currently inside that folder by duplicating them and giving them new names.
- Delete or rename the main
IBR_SaveData02.datfile so the game can automatically recreate it using the backup. - If you do not see a
.bakfile, check for a file ending in.hist.bakinstead.
If it still doesn't work
- If neither recovery method works, the updated save file may have already synced to Steam Cloud and overwritten your previous progress.
- Contact the developer and offer to provide any necessary details or files so they can investigate what happened to your data.

Other suggestions
Unfortunately using both methods I was not able to recreate my file. In which case I have to assume that Steamcloud is already updated with the "new" savefile and deleted the old... This is very upsetting. EDIT: If theres anything I can provide you with so you can understand what happened please let me know. I liked the game, just felt it was both a little short (I guess thats because I…
