:lady_beetle: Bug Description:
Unable to access past chats after upgrading to Cursor 0.49.2. When attempting to open previous chats, they remain in a perpetual “Loading Chat” state.

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Upgrade from Cursor 0.48.9 to 0.49.2
  2. Attempt to open any previous chat from 0.48.9
  3. See chat gets stuck in “Loading Chat” state

:laptop: Environment:
Windows 11 23H2, Cursor 0.49.2 (issue occurs) / 0.48.9 (working)

:prohibited: Impact:
This issue prevents me from upgrading to the latest version, as I need access to my previous chats. I had to downgrade back to 0.48.9 to access to my chat history.

Update: When I downgraded it into 0.48.9, It seems that it doesnt follow the system instructions

Thanks! It works now

I’m on 0.49.6 already, and since 0.49.2, it’s still on the same - “Loading Chat”. A few days ago, I sent an email to support with detailed logs, but no response to any of this.

It seems like (10/10 occurrences) every time I restart my laptop, the chats are gone after loading the Cursor.

I have the same issue, I got it after updating to 0.49.6 , still no answer or solution

same issue. Not resolved at all. Its been almost one month with this problem.

I just realized I cannot get my old chats to load either. Saying loading, but then just opens a new chat window.

I’m on 0.49.6

I had the same issue. I tried to downgrade to version 0.48.9, the issue still persists. Looks like it’s a server issue rather than a clien issue.

More importantly, as I haven’t apply the changes in the previous chat, seems that those changes has been lost.

There is still the pycache folder which potentially has the lost changes with the ■■■.cpython-311.pyc files. Is there a way to apply those changes to the codebase?

This has NOT been solved. No previous chats will load regardless of date created or size/length of chat.

im having the same issue. Closed Cursor and now can’t access any older chats. I needed to install an MCP before proceeding with next steps and now I don’t even have next steps identified.
