SOLVED! --> At the end of the post you will find out the solution how to recover your saves.

First are the steps I took to solve this:

- So I copied the CONTENTS of the (some very long ID)-folder with saves and options.ini, game.log etc to another location as a backup
- Started the game -> no help

- I started a new game and saved
- I restarted the game and the ABOVE save works (but not the one I'm missing)

- The previous location (xgs-folder) did NOT have any new contents -> it's empty

- Then I was about to copy the previously backupped save files back to the (some very long ID)-folder to see if these would work now... but I noticed that there is a xbl.log -file; I opened it and heureka.

- It refers to a completely new location: [XBL] [LOGFILE] Set to C:\Users\<your WIN user>\AppData\Roaming\Dune - Spice Wars\xbl.log

- So I opened THIS folder mentioned in the log, and I found out that there's similar folder contents to the %localappdata%\Packages\FuncomOsloAS.DuneSpiceWars_pkaskhy6cdq4g\SystemAppData\xgs\<some very long id>\

...this Roaming\Dune - Spice Wars\ folder contained my previous test save from the above. The mystery is solved.

= COPY YOUR .SAV FILES + FOLDER CONTENTS FROM %localappdata%\Packages\FuncomOsloAS.DuneSpiceWars_pkaskhy6cdq4g\SystemAppData\xgs\

TO

C:\Users\<your WIN user>\AppData\Roaming\Dune - Spice Wars\

- Be sure to enable HIDDEN files -visibility to access the see the AppData-folder with your File Explorer

You're welcome! <3

Tuchanka = Arrakis?

Thresher Maws = Worms

The spice must flow!

Others have probably already made this connection, but it just hit me last night as I was playing the "Cure the Genophage" mission. One of the waypoints was "Dunes".

Loved seeing Mama Maw beat down the Reaper.
