My game has no saved files

[渡邊影]

I played the game for 5 hours, and I had to save files halfway through.
But now when I open the game, it shows that there is no save file.

Sounds like you had a sync issue with cloud saving and ended up overwriting your save with an empty one. Unfortunate, but if that's what happened you'll just have to start over. Turn off Cloud Saving in Steam Settings, it's not worth the trouble.

My game settings have also been reset.
I have turned off cloud saving, but I still have to reset the settings.

So I aint the only one with this issue..

Turning off cloud saving after losing save files won't get you back your save files.

Or your english is off, and you meant that your cloud saves were already off, if not, then well next time don't trust in cloud saves to work 100%, not using cloud saves you will have less chances of losing your save files, and if you lose them, it's because of drive failure or you deleted them yourself, with cloud save files you will never know when you will lose your save files and can happen at any random time when using steam.

Is the issue using cloud save files? Or still losing even when not using it?
If without cloud saves, guess the game has bad auto save mechanics.

Not quite sure myself, as this is the first time I even encountered this issue. ATM, it seems to be both. I can see with Steam Cloud on, the game doesn't actually 'save' anything to the steam cloud itself. (even a settings configuration should make a file). Even if you turn off cloud-save, selecting new game, that part wont even save either.

This is where it saves anyway.
cloud prolly: [Steam Install]/steamapps/common/GBBBB/GB4/Saved/SaveGames
local: %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/GB4/Saved/SaveGames

I took a look. it did not make any folder there. Do you happen to have your save there? Perhaps this is just my issue.

No issues for me. The local save file exists. You maybe don't have windows account privileges in terms of writing there.
My pc account is set as admin privileges, so I never have to run anything as an admin and never had issues with save files writing anywhere or saves getting lost (since xp sp3/win7/win10), besides deleting them via automated steam uninstallation and forgetting to back up steam folder.

Found the issue on my end, it was a read-write-only issue it seems. TY.

Seems that this is why I didn’t save, thanks for the help.

Hi, try this save file. It's my personal one from right after maintenance started. Please let me know if it works. How widespread is this issue? I'm scared to open the game up now!

Do not share your save file.

Do not use anyone elses save file.

Try going into the game files and setting the executable to run as administrator. I had this issue as well, but since doing that it hasn't been a problem. I did have to turn off cloud saves though because for some reason doing this caused a sync issue for me, but rather that than it just not save my progress.
