Missing inventory since last patch

[Yokes]

there are two threads:

Release notes for todays update?

My game just auto-updated to latest version and all my saved equipment, spare armour etc has disappeared. Nothing in the equipment store at all. Also, area scans no longer complete - just pulse at max circumference preventing you from scanning elsewhere. Not good, a patch which fixes some minor bugs but breaks the game!

New patch issues

so the power issue is fixed with over 20 power but it seems my save has lost all unused armour and weapons (except NJ pistol??), still got ammo med kits etc. Also lost all aliens in containment

and a note from devs:

Missing Items Since Miskatonic Patch

If you have been affected by the missing inventory items since the Miskatonic patch deployed today (Jan 31st), please do not save over your save-games. We’re currently debugging the issue, after which you should be able to reload your original saves with all of your equipment. However, this will not work if you save over that file with a new save where the equipment is already missing.
