Hey guys, I messed up the build name for the demo, causing saves to not transfer to the full release :( However, there is a way! It's not too bad, here are the steps: Make sure you have ran the full release version of Idle Research, for those who have access already (and those who will in the future :D) Make sure Idle Research and the Demo version are closed. Search %APPDATA% in Windows Search Go back to the AppData folder if you are not in it for some reason. Go to "LocalLow" folder Go to "CryptoGrounds" folder Go to "Idle Research Demo" folder Copy that "saves" folder Go back and then go to "Idle Research" folder Paste the folder in there and replace existing files. Now you can launch Idle Research and things should be good to go. Sorry if this is a pain, now I will remember to do Demos correctly in the meantime :) Thanks! CryptoGrounds
