Summary0013237: Save files oftern corrupted in 52.xx
DescriptionSave games in 52.xx are often corrupted and most of files in save folder are lost.
So sometimes the only files that are left are:
world.sav
art_image-9.dat

It looks like files in the save folder that were not changed are removed.
Maybe related to change in 52.xx of save folder from Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\save\ to Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Bay 12 Games\Dwarf Fortress\save\
Steps To Reproduceclean install 52.02
start new game
save it -> save is correct
change game settings (I usually change up to 10 difficulty settings)
save it -> save is corrupted, most of files in the save folder are deleted
