Here ya go my man. Delete your old save file, go into steam settings and turn off cloud saving. Next locate your save files, for me they are here:
C:\Users\*your computer name here* \AppData\Roaming\EldenRing.

Open the only file available to you and delete them as well, start up elden ring and start a new game. Have fun because your save file is corrupted and you gotta replay all that again.

That. And yes you're probably screwed. It's why I make regular manual saves of my profile on my desktop just in case that crap happens to me. I don't feel like losing 300 hours of work.

I learned a long time ago while playing Skyrim to never use cloud saving and to always back up my saves. It suck to lean this the hard way, 95 hours is alot to lose but better to learn now then to lose when your in new game+

ignore whats being said here, everyone has a back up save file by default...

Always make a backup save after every session; it doesn't take more than a couple minutes, and not just for Elden Ring but for every game you play.
Elden Ring's savefile is located on Users/[USERNAME]/AppData/roaming/Elden Ring. Just copy the Elden Ring folder somewhere else.

I know there are save file fixers for ER but I have no idea if they actually work or are safe to use. I'd heavily recommend running Steam's file integrity verification to see if part of your game files are corrupted which could potentially result in the game making a bad attempt to load your save file.
