Recovering using my seed phrase gave me an empty wallet, can’t access old wallet
So my ravencoin client on Windows was broken and I had to do a clean install, stupid me also permanently deleted my wallet.dat file in the process. When I entered my seed phrase in the fresh install and let it finish syncing my RVN was gone, I have no idea how to get it back as my seed phrase now seems to be connected to a totally different wallet. I've tried using it to generate the mnemonic code converter but so far it's not shown my original wallet address even after showing 10k derived addresses. I would search for more but I don't know if there's a way to actually tell it to generate the private key if I give it a known seed phrase and address, or if I've somehow done the search wrong.
I'm honestly pissed off since I've always been warned that my seed phrase is the only thing that can give someone access to my wallet, but I can't even access my own wallet with it!
Please can someone point out what I'm doing wrong or what else I need apart from my seed phrase and original wallet address?
