Hi,
The last 1.5 year that I am playing the game, I lost my game 6 times, it just start from the beginning.
First time, I just start all over, the last 5 time, I ask if the game could restored (what takes 5 working days). I also experiance 2 bad updates, with crashed the game.
I tryed to fixed those problems by my self, and I think I have the sollution and it is ready for sharing. So here are my best practice and I hope this is helpfull for the communicty
Lost of game (My version)
As your game is saved local, why not backup save game localy. So I wrote a realy simpel script that does that. (it is realy simpel and basic, if somebody can improve it, please do, but for me this is good enough, so I did not spend more time on it)
It saved the gamestate every hour, With a retension time of 17 hours. So the last 17 hourly game states are saved. If you experiance that your game has been lost and you start from strach, you can with below script, restore your last good game, whitout asking for a restore code from GI and so can start right away, instead waiting 5 working days
Setup
1. unzip attached file to your c:\temp folder
2. Start task shedule and create a basic hourly task, that start c:\temp\backupac\backup.cmd (here is an intruction http://www.7tutorials.com/how-create-task-basic-task-wizard) Also check the condition tab when you create a task, un check every thing there !
3. Got to the folder C:\Users\(Your name)\AppData\Local\Packages and goto the folder that looks like (so it could be different) 0EB8BD08.AirportCity_erk4rrwmt7jyt
4. go to the folder localstate. Now in your explorer, you see the locaton where you are now. Copy that location in the memory (click on the link and select the location text and copy the text CTRL C)
5. Go to the folder c:\temp\backupac\ and right click backup.cmd and choice edit
6. Notepad opens and you will find the line
xcopy C:\Users\alexadmin\AppData\Local\Packages\0EB8BD08.AirportCity_erk4rrwmt7jyt\LocalState\*.* C:\Temp\BackupAC\1\*.* /Y /S
Change C:\Users\alexadmin\AppData\Local\Packages\0EB8BD08.AirportCity_erk4rrwmt7jyt\LocalState\ with your link that you copy in to the memory
7. Save the file and you create your own backup
Now almost every hour your game state is saved to the backup folder
restore
Restoring is simple, restore the files located in one of the number folders (start with one) that you can find in c:\temp\backupac and copy it backup to the C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\Packages\something.AirportCity_something\LocalState\ folder
Airport city must be closed ! Check taskmanager if this is the case, or restart your pc, to be sure.
If gamestate in folder 1 is not your version, that copy the content in folder 2
If this failes,here is the office version
Lost of game (Normal practice)
AC saves the state of the game in a save game file. This is located on your computer and it is uploads to the server. If you lost your game and game starts from strach, normal practive is that you ask for a restore code. Send an email to support@game-insight.com, supply your old and your new friend code and that you got a Windows PC.
Wait 5 working days and you get the below mail
Here is your coupon for restoring your game profile. The code is #some weird code.

Bad update
Bad updates are difficult to fixed, it could be anything. But in most cases, removing the game and reinstalling it, would fix it. But if you do this, your game start from the beginning. And you lost your progress, and have to wait 5 days for a restore code. But we can backup and restore the game, a fix that lets you continue your game right a way.
