Fix: FM 22 saved game not loading issue

This issue is quite serious as it can delete your all in-game achievements in one go. But, it does not mean that it can’t be fixed. Follow the below-mentioned steps carefully to fix this issue:
- Try loading the backup save: One of the good things about FM 22 is that it automatically creates a backup save file. To load it, you must head to your default save game folder and find the file named ‘last save overwrite backup.fm’. This save is the copy of the save game you last saved.
- Restore Previous Versions Function: If you are not able to load your saved game through the above-mentioned method, then you must try solving this issue by using Windows ‘Restore Previous Versions’ function. This issue might not work for everyone. To use this function follow this path: Documents > Sports Interactive Folder > Football Manager 2022 folder > Games > Right-Click on your saved game file that is giving you trouble > Restore Previous Versions > Restore. As mentioned above, not all players would be able to perform this method. Therefore, they can also surf the internet to find a file restoration program.
