Cant restore save file

[w0Lart]

Guys, just reinstall windows 10, and its gone, find link on steam when i can find my save files, but at which name i need to put it on? C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\KojimaProductions\DeathStranding
? And its needed on this folder, or another?

Saves go in the appdata folder you listed, yes.

Just in case:
https://store.steampowered.com/login/?redir=account%2Fremotestorage&redir_ssl=1
That's the right save file location but it has a folder inside the Death Stranding folder named with an 8 digit number string. Like this:
C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\KojimaProductions\DeathStranding\????????
If yours doesn't have that last folder with a string name you can either start the game and play to a checkpoint so that the game creates a save or create the folder yourself.
The number itself is included as a part of the cloud saved files naming convention.
eg. is an example of a downloaded save file though your number will be evident
%WinAppDataLocal%KojimaProductions_DeathStranding_????????_autosave0_checkpoint.dat
/AppData/Local/KojimaProductions/DeathStranding/???????? - is now self explanatory
The second last item in the file name ,autosave0, is the name of the folder that the save file, all of which are named checkpoint.dat resides in.
Each save file should be renamed as mentioned and placed into it's own folder except for 3 files which go into a folder named profile.
Do you need all of them? I don't think so. If I were you I'd grab the last 2 or 3 'autos' and maybe a 'quick' or two. Why are there 'quick' when quicksaving isn't a feature? I'm guessing they're created when Sam sleeps or uses a private room. Just a guess..
I think that covers it. Good luck.

The numbered folder seems to be the 32-bit version of your Steam ID. So every user has a different folder name. You can look it up or convert it from 64-bit.
The correct alias to reach the \AppData\Local subfolder is "%LocalAppData%".
You can copy "%LocalAppData%\KojimaProductions\DeathStranding" into Run (Win+R) and execute to have the target folder opened.

Thanks mate. I was wondering how our ID# converted from a 17 or 18 digit number to that short string. Mystery solved. Admittedly I needed a Bin-Dec converter to get it done but who's counting? Thanks again.

well, at this link i got 1 save file when i reinstall game, profile dat, is that mean when i start game its resave my saves at this link an its empty?

Because thats only i file i can download named @profile.dat@

[cuss]

Well.. if at that link you can only find the 'profile.dat' file then I think you're screwed, time to start again.

omg... 18 hours of playing, and its gone D:, can i get a chance to restore it from support of "505 games"?

[cuss]

No mate, the Steam cloud is an independent server from 505 or Sony. You're gonna have to deal with it.
