Save file is not detected, persistentdatapath changed?
I had to update Unity from 5.4.3 to 2017, because I updated to newer Mac Os version, and Unity started showing empty project. I built my game as webgl, now the save file is not being detected. Did persistentdatapatch change with new version? How can I make it find that save file?

Yes, it changed in Unity 5.5
Here are the documentation updates to Application.persistentDataPath
5.0 same
https://docs.unity3d.com/500/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html
5.1 same
https://docs.unity3d.com/510/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html
5.2 same
https://docs.unity3d.com/520/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html
5.3 same
https://docs.unity3d.com/530/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html
5.4 same
https://docs.unity3d.com/540/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html
And in 5.5 you see the change:
https://docs.unity3d.com/560/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html
In other versions, it continues to be same:
5.6, same as 5.5:

2017.1, same as 5.5:
