Lost 5 hours of progress

[brojllo]

Played the game yesterday, no problems.
Played 5 hours today, closed the game for a hour, booted up again and the saves is from 6 hours ago.
Went to the savedata folder and the saves with all my progress are there, the game won't see them tho. What do I do?

[brojllo]

If it helps troubleshooting, All file in the savedata folders are the right 6-7 hours progress except the SAVEDATA.BIN which is the wrong old one. Am I cooked?

[Orangekeeper]

Yeah you're cooked. The solution the devs posted doesn't actually work. I'd imagine a bug like this will be a priority though as it was specifically singled out in a post.

[brojllo]

I "solved" this by replaying the parts real fast and in a hour and a half I made it back where I was.
Still making backups every save and checking if the files overwrite...

[level3]

Sister, I'd wait for the patch.

Too much backlog, and the game is too much fun right now

i had this very same thing happen to me played for 6hrs straight after buying the game and my save game completely wiped.

I'm curious if the people that have encountered the save bug are only relying on the Auto Save?

Rise of The Ronin gives you I think 50 different manual save slots. If a game gives me multiple save slots to use I will always stagger out saves. I'll play it for an hour or whatever then Manual Save to Slot 1, continue playing make a save in Slot 2, and so on.

I do this in case something goes wrong, corrupted save data, I make a wrong decision, or whatever the case may be. I feel like games, especially bigger games are just too unreliable to rely on a single save whether it be a single manual save or auto save.

I have both auto and manual saves

i used manual saves and i still got the problem the issue is there seems to be a disconnect where Steam is overwriting your local saves with a online backup because steam thinks the game is requesting it or the game is asking for it. or at least thats my theory from my testing because i played using a VPN on then i turned the VPN off and my save was gone replaced with the online steam backup before i turned on the VPN

Yeah, turned off steam cloud for now

i don't know if this is the root cause or if there is more under neath but this is what i been seeing. i was playing fine until i turned on my VPN while i had steam open and running and played the game with the VPN on and when i turned the vpn off and loaded the game the saves were replaced with the online ones from before i turned on the VPN it could be a one off coincidence im not sure but i dont wanna do that again to find out im already angry with this game as it is for the piss poor performance and optimization and the broken PC settings
