Profile disappeared

[u/alphastigma117]

Uh, so i already asked on HLP forum but anyway,

I wanted to continue playing the sixth seal from when i left off yesterday, but I mistakenly clicked on retail fs2 desktop shortcut on desktop instead of knossos icon. It started to launch and it said something along the lines of: please configure your launcher beforehand and after clicking ok it said "freespace2/fred2 cannot be run from a drive root directory!" I clicked OK and it closed. When I opened the knossos after that and chose to play the sixth seal, the game told me to create a new profile. My old one was nowhere to be found.

I tried FSPort, STR, and a couple of other campaigns/mods and they all can't find any profile and prompt me to create a new one... I was using one profile across multiple mods and it worked but now they can't find it... I don't know if it's the fault of trying to (mistakenly) run retail fs2, or there was some update in Knossos i missed.

Does anyone know what's the location folder containing the profiles? Maybe I'll try restoring it to the earlier version

EDIT: I just saw that my profile (along with others): username.json, username.derelict.csg, username.freespace.csg, username.tss.csg and a bunch of others are present in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\data\players folder, but why is suddenly invisible/unreadable for all knossos mods that i don't know...

What does the knossos logs say?
