Corrupted FIle

• Jun 12, 2025 - 01:48

I was recently writing a Fugue, and saved everything and shut off my computer for the night and when I turned it on the next day, the file was corrupted. Is there any way to save the file, or extract any from this file?

Your file just contains lots of zero-value bytes. There is no data that can be recovered.
