SO, I wasn’t thinking and updated Bisq without making a backup first (bonehead move, i know).

I have a backup of the wallet seed,which matches the seed that is currently displayed in the application. I tried entering the seed anyway, the application prompted for a restart, re-synced, with no luck.

I used the delete spv file and resync option, still no joy.

is it possible to recover the funds in the account or revert the update?

Thanks!
