My autosaved project won't open, giving "Failed to Open Project" and I lost my original project file, v 11.1.3

Accidentally overwrote my SPProject and my autosave won't open giving "Failed to Open Project", I have v 11.1.3 but the original project and it's autosave were created in a previous version in end of January. Need help opening this autosaved file since it’s a work file, it weights 3.21 GB so I'm sure it's not an empty scene because that’s pretty much the same weight the original project file had, just cannot get to open it, can anyone help with it?

Really need to open this file!😫

I’m not able to open the project on my side either. It usually means the project is corrupted. Do you have by any chance another auto save?

Sadly not, that’s all I had since I tend to delete previous autosaves… and I also don’t have any in my trashbin, isn’t there a way to extract somehow those information from that project? I do have the mesh I was using and I also have the exported Diffuse ORM and Normal maps from it, is there any way to reverse engineer reconstruct the scene?

@Cyril Dellenbach yeah I know, what I actually needed were the actual layering so in case I need to modify something or create smart materials from some of those I could, but now I only have the final output, would like to know what caused this corruption of the file damn…
