I'm not really sure which sub-forum this goes in, but the "Installation" one looks to be the closest fit.
At any rate, my computer recently crashed, corrupting my Aurora save-game. Thankfully, I've been creating backups of the entire game folder (Eh, I've got 1. 5TB of spare HD space, so I copy everything Aurora-related into the backup), so I figured that I'd only lose a game-year or two.
The problem is that, when I deleted first the Stevefire file and replaced it with my backup, the game still showed up as corrupted. (As in, it would load, but when I tried to increment any amount of time, it threw errors at me, requiring Task Manager to close it). Thinking that something odd might be off, I deleted all of the files from the original corrupted Aurora file, and then replaced them all with the backup. Now, when I launch Aurora, my game isn't even there - the only option is Steve's "Space 1899" game.
Before y'all head-desk at some obvious fail I've made, I'd like to make it known that this is the first time I've tried to restore from a backup, so I'm mostly guessing as to what should work.
