DS2 Saves missing - anyone have Elys' all saves v1?

I've got a good 25 hours on a campaign that's now missing. Tried patching, reinstalling, disabling anti-virus, etc. No dice. Both versions 2.0 and 2.2 of the game fail to recognize the save.

I installed ELYS' All Saves v2 but I get the "Cannot load DS2 All*Saves! (DS2 wrong version?)" error. Someone else had success with using v1 if ELYS' mod, but all links to that version are dead. Does anyone happen to have it?

ELYS, if you come upon this topic, please help me out - Thanks
