My project file won't open anymore

Regarding the old autosave, it is maybe related to the problem I have reported few months ago here:

[BUG] No autosave is created

I’ve been using GDevelop when I had a power cut. The moment the power cut happened, I was about to add a condition and select the object for the condition. I didn’t get to the point to add the condition to the event. After the autosave file got corrupted, it was empty, 0 byte. I have deleted the autosave. Since GDevelop does not seem to create any autosave file. I am editing the project, run preview, make manual saves and nothing. No more autosave is created in my project folder. Not sure i…

In certain scenarios it seems GDevelop does not create autosave regularly every time the preview is launched.

Regarding the corrupted project file, I’m afraid nothing can be done. It is supposed to be a simple JSON file that any text editor should be able to display especially VS Code. If not even VS Code can open it, then it is very unlikely anyone can recover the data. In the future, create a backup every day and after every major milestone and store the backup in a different folder, USB, cloud.
