As posted many times in the past on this Subreddit (but I'm sure a lot of people aren't aware):
If, after an update, you go in game, try to load your existing character and are greeted with the create character / new game screen, DO NOT go further than that very first screen shown, don't press continue or anything as it WILL indeed wipe your character.
If you instead just close the game the second you see this behaviour, it won't wipe anything.
In a scenario like this you just need to close the game and wait, try again later. Do NOT proceed. This "known" glitch has been happening in the past and many people have lost characters like this. It's still happening with this new update so be careful.
