I don't do much PC gaming, and I generally buy on GOG so I don't have to deal with these screwy launcher spy apps running on my computer for DRM. Well, I wanted to check out Hades so I installed Steam again and bought/downloaded it. This morning for the second time it's screwed up my save files.
I played Thursday night for a bit, 3 escape attempts I think. When I was done and exited I went through the main menu and saw it had the new save data there as the number of attempts was correct. Totally exited game, haven't touched Steam or anything since, I had totally rebooted into Linux partition even.
Today, I decide to play some more, and my data is back to as if I never played Thursday. I dug around some in the folders and found the save files and they are from Jan 2. WTF?! I am at a loss. They aren't corrupted, missing, or anything of the sort--they are just straight up different.
Any of you had something like that happen?
Thanks for the info on Steam Cloud, it seems to have helped. At the very least I found save files from Thursday I can get back in the right place.
I think based on the log file's constant bitching about the "WinMyDocuments" folder that it's just confused and screwing things up because of it. I've learned that Windows 10 gets really screwy when you had it all tied up to OneDrive and MS Accounts and at some point disconnect all of that. I might just need to re-do Windows install from scratch. I think for now I'll just take the other comments advice and turn all the cloud save stuff off.
