last time it was grabbing old cloud data and overwriting my saves without asking and i lost tons of gameplay....
anything i can do?

Contact steam support to check whether their cloud has any other save revisions. File a bug at the same time about alerting the user whenever a save might overwrite your offline game.

If you have Windows Backup enabled, you can see if you can restore an older version of that saved game file.

FWIW, Cyberpunk has had issues with saves. If you search that forum, you'll find many "lost save" posts:

I would recommend backing up your local saves. There are some Decky Plugins that can do that for you if you don't want to do it yourself.

Yeah steam cloud needs a little bit of versioning these days where they made a device where significant offline playtime is expected.

steam support gave me worthless reply......
we cant do ♥♥♥♥, sorry

my roomie and I have a joke about this kind of thing. when it happens to us, we look at each other and say "so you mean I get to play the game MORE?"

great games will keep your attention even if you lose all progress.;

also, ive had cloud saves crap themselves on 2 different PC's. Its not the deck's fault.

If you are using Proton Experimental, stop using it. It is actually proton 10 and it still has bugs

would never trust steam with experimental. the normal one already has enough bugs

Proton versions have no impact on a game's save code. You can find many players of that game no even using Linux losing their saved games. That is just the risk to you take when no using Cloud Saves and not doing your own backups.

the problem is that games ♥♥♥♥ save code + the fact that it automatically clouded the no data over my clouded save data without asking and with no way to recover from what i can tell

If you don't have a local backup, then yes you are correct. However, not every game has this problem. This is one of the reasons that I browse some of the "game forums" of the games I play or are interested in buying. When I notice someone (or multiple users) has lost a save, I start making manual backups (or if it's a game I'm interested in, I will not purchase it).

As buyers, at times we need to do our own research before we purchase. We cannot always blame everything on crappy code.

Ignore that person. They are posting random misinformation on posts.

Every Proton version gets fixes. If they didn't, we'd still be on Proton 1. That's just normal development cycle. You are making it out to be something systemic which is flat wrong. i.e. there may be something fixed right now, but that won't be a thing in 2 months when someone else finds and reads this thread. You should be specific.
