My 48-hour save game has disappeared

[Kallichou]

Hello.
I have Steam Cloud activated.
I was happily playing when suddenly i couldn't save my game. The automatic saving was activated too.
I went to the game menu and it said "your game has not been saved". So i tried to save it manually. Same message. So i quit the game and re-log onto it, that's when i saw my save has disappeared !
I tried to download my game file from Steam Cloud but i don't know what to do with it.
None of the tutorials found on youtube to recover lost save file could have been done since i literally have empty files in the steamlibrary file -> Farming Simulator 22.
my whole game was saved on Steam Cloud yet i can't recover those files...

what can i do next ?

The game has a built in save game backup system, this vid will walk you through it.

thank you so much for your reply. I couldn't do any of those tutorials since i am playing on MacOS and didn't found any of the mentioned files in those videos.

This reddit post (as a result of googling "FS22 savegameBackup on mac" is a bit old but may help.

Cause of issue found. Steam cloud is well known for losing or corrupting data, while you never have full control over your own data stored there.

Yep. Do not use Steam cloud. It's -not- a back-up!

WTH does that have to do with this topic?

Mods have a good habit of breaking saves especially when it comes from 3rd party sites.

I'd have to say I've never had a mod break a save. I don't use a lot of non-modhub mods but those I do use are excellent. As long as you are careful what you download and from where you download it. In fact I'm currently on a non-modhub map, The Oaks 4x (by farmsim brisco) which is one of the best I've ever played on.

Like (I assume) the OP the only time I lost a save game was due to Steam Cloud which is why I have it (and Steam Input) turned off globally.

No mods were mentioned by OP...

Almost all mods are "unofficial", no matter where you download them. Please learn what mods are and how they work, before posting such incredible nonsense.

The op has an steam cloud issue, that's not regarded to _any_ mod.

head -> desk -> repeat

I have had saves die due to mod conflicts in the past, usually its due to GIANTS doing an update or adding something.
