I've been using Tixati for many years and never had an issue.
Today, I was told there was an update (3.35) so went ahead and updated.
Suddenly I have zero activity both in and out. No activity on newly added torrents.
I could not see a reason for this sudden change so I uninstalled that version and went back to my previous program (3.33).
Now everything is back to normal, except I have lost all my torrent list I've been seeding for years.
Any advice?

What OS?
When you ran 3.35 were all your transfers there?
Did you un-install tixati to go back a version, or did you re-install the older version?
If you did un-install, that is probably why your transfers are gone.
You do not have to un-install Tixati to upgrade or go back versions.
Are your setting gone as well?
Do you have any channels running? Could they connect?
For a torrent, what was in the event log while there was no traffic?
What was the status of the peers?
Were trackers connecting?
Was the DHT running?

Might be related: a couple of days ago I've noticed that DHT stats have shown zero (or almost zero) incoming queries and processed transactions. Local queries worked without any problems, and remained on graphs. That had been going on for about a week, since the previous client start. Changing port number and DHT identifier restored the normal state. Since such one-way operation on a protocol level is quite improbable, as DHT peers are available and active, I suspect a bug.
You can try to see if there is any actual traffic in Wireshark, then change the port or restart to reset the operation.

Also, copy the backup files from Tixati configuration directory immediately when something like that happens, you can restore them, and use the configuration for the previous normal run (with 3.33 or 3.35, doesn't matter). If you've started your client multiple times since then, then you don't have backups, unfortunately.
Downgrading software versions is generally not supported if data formats change in-between. With or without warnings, it generally won't “just work”. Only certain programs have specific portable file formats that can be shared across many versions, and even then they limit the supported scope.
