Gotham Knights reset my game save :(

[Skittlemuncher_]

I have 36 hours into Gotham knights and was trying to 100% the game . I opened the game to notice all of my saves had been reset and I'm setting up the game as brand new. I tried to look via steam cloud save but have been overwritten and same as local save. I have lost all my story progress, and side missions and I was level 30 with legendary gear :( I am very upset about this! does anyone know any solution at all?

Yeah, don’t use steam cloud saving it was always trash

I have the same issue too unfortunately, no, the only way to get it is by asking someone to help you with their game-save.

this has happened to me too, WTF

[swampgatorz3]

just happened to me as well

There's a bug report for this issue with "Investigation in progress" here
https://gothamknights.bugs.wbgames.com/bug/GK-84

I'd suggest voting or commenting or reporting there just in case they're underestimating how common the issue is. Seems pretty widespread to me with all the Steam Discussion posts I've seen of people losing their saves, although the bug report itself doesn't have much activity.

Happened too me today too. Lost power while playing. Came back later in the day and when I started up the game it wanted too start a new game. Went too save file location and the only file in it was my screenshot folder. 27 hours down the tube, had too restart my game from scratch.

OK, WTF, same thing just happen to me.. I played this game for 31 hours, I did million crimes to build up my characters and now I have to start again?? Why the fck we have Steam could if it's safe? I have thousand hours in all other games and never had similar issue. GK is awesome game and if I have to I will play it again but I was so happy with my progress, exactly what I wanted and planed. I build up BatGirl and Redhud and he is great character and it would be great NG+ with him.... come on WB, really fix this game. I don't have tech issues any more, after patch I can play in 4k with lock on 60fps with minor drops but is OK so I really thought I could play it now.. I sent a mail to WB support but I don't think they could help because it's already overwritten .. damm.. damm, damm.. why I didn't made a backuuuuuup

Valve lets you download your Steam cloud save files via a web browser, too. You can download just your save files without re-downloading the entire game.

To find your save files, visit Valve’s View Steam Cloud page in your web browser and sign in with your Steam account.

You’ll see a list of games using your Steam Cloud storage. Locate the game in the list—and click “Show Files” to see all the files for a game.

MAYBE it will work if your savegame in the cloud has not been overwritten ....

This game shares save corruption issues that other similar Unreal Engine 4 games have (Think of a game like Remnant: From the Ashes). I would recommend turning off Steam Cloud for this game and making manual backups.

The reason for this thread is to bring awareness to the issue and hopefully help prevent people from losing all their progress entirely.

What happens in these Unreal Engine 4 games too often is that there's an issue with the save file (Some kind of corruption or what have you), people start up their game, the game makes a new-blank save file and overwrites their previous save file. Once people close the game, Steam Cloud syncs up and removes any hope of the player ever retrieving their progress.

This is why manual backups are recommended and why turning off Steam Cloud is also recommended (From my experience, these save corruption moments tend to happen less with Steam Cloud disabled). Hope this helps. Cheers. o.o

Whoa and this is on the newest patch released Monday? Did you last play the game before Monday, and maybe the game had already lost your save pre-patch? Seemed to happen before especially when the game would crash.
Or is this all post-patch?

Welcome to gaming. That will happen many more times if you continue to game.

it just happened to me so im done with this game. Just got to lvl 20

[desync]

Just happened too me as well. 30 hrs gone. So pissed. Normally I always try to backup my games manually but never got around to backing up GK and paid the price
