Retrieving saved games

Post » Sat Dec 19, 2015 11:44 pm

Hi,

I have a problem in moving my character. It seems like it is stuck. I can jump, shoot and look around, but I can't move forward, backward etc. I tried playing another game and it turns out that I don't have any problem with my controller. Then, me trying to be smart, I selected the new game in Fallout 4 to test if I can move my character in a new game. Guess what, it deleted all of my previous saved game. :cry: :cry: :cry:

So, how do I get back my saved game?

Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

background story: the character stuck problem starts when my controller battery died and after I changed my battery, I can't move my character. I tried to restart my console and load an earlier version of my saved game, but nothing works.

Did you start a new character on a new account? If that is the case, then you have to log to your other account to get the saves back.

As for overwriting them, I have not started a new character yet, but I thought the Autosaves are all new slots, so there should not be any overwriting of character saves. The trick should be to figure out what Autosave belongs to which character.

I actually started a new character on the same account (I know that is the dumbest move ever). So when I select "load" on the main screen, it only shows the new game that I created. Do you have any idea how to access the autosave files?

Thank you.

update:

I am able to access all of my saved games already in the load menu, and select character, but my character still can't move.
