Skyrim LE reverting to old overwritten game saves...

[Deleted24130229User]

I just recently switched from NMM to Vortex for my Skyrim LE mod manager and have been having a very confusing problem...twice now, on launching the game from Vortex, Skyrim has started up using older game saves that have been overwritten, so basically I had lost like 2 weeks of progress.

 

Just now I did a test...when starting the game using "continue", Skyrim starts using a 2 week old save game that is also listed as the most recent file in my Vortex profile (character level 19, save number 4277), but when I use "load" instead of "continue", there is my proper recent save game file (character level 26, save number 4354), and the game starts where I left off, like it should. **note, for any who wonder, the high save game number with low character level is that this is my 10th playthrough. :smile:

 

I also checked in my Skyrim save game folder on my pc and save 4277 (the one Vortex was starting with) isn't there, but the correct save that it should be using (4354) is.

 

So what I am wondering is where is Vortex getting that old overwritten save game file from? and why isn't it showing my most recent saves instead (like it should be)? and how to I make Vortex use the proper file?
