Apparent missing progress
First confirm that the same person is hosting the same save. Joining a different host creates a different progression context; the official FAQ does not describe transferring ownership between hosts.
Patch protection
Version 1.4.9 added better protection against potential save-data loss. This guide does not recommend deleting or replacing save files because no official recovery procedure supports that risk.
