If you have any problems with Cloud Saves, you can find local backups of the saves on your PC in the following places: Windows: %APPDATA%/RenPy/Sickness-1392699346/ MacOS: ~/Library/RenPy/Sickness-1392699346/ Linux: ~/.renpy/Sickness-1392699346/ You can copy these files, then right click on the game in your Steam library and go to Manage -> Browse Local Files Then go into game/saves, and paste the files you want to restore.
If you encounter any other problems, please report them on this thread. You can also switch to the oldstable beta for the time being, but please note that saves from the new build won't work on the oldstable build.
