#and i was able to make and play a new game running 1.5.6

[sunsetzer]

I spent all day trying to get my save to load in stardew 1.5.6 trying every fix I could find and nothing's working :') I tried the discord but it's so crazy with 1.6 out now that I had to send multiple messages to get any kind of response in all the noise, and I'm still not any closer to being able to play the game. All I did was delete a day's save and then rename the _old files so the game would go back a day, and now whenever I try to load my game it just takes me back to the opening screen. I'm starting to worry that my save is just not playable anymore. I have backups and I've checked the save file itself and it doesn't look corrupted, so then I tried replacing the file for the profile selection screen with another and that didn't work either. I'm so frustrated and upset and have no idea how to fix this and getting help from other players is very difficult in the discord server right now so I'm just stuck.
