My save got deleted

[JT]

Not sure if it's the game but i am also using texmod and wondering if texmod was the problem that deleted my save. Any solutions on how to getting the save file from deleting?

[JonoAMano]

Probably wasn't TexMod, it's never deleted my saves. Do you have adequate spare GB storage where the game is installed?

Access your cloud saves here, you may have to replay some progress:
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=200260

You can't drop a swapped save file onto empty save slots. There needs to be some minimal progress for the swapped save to rewrite. Start a new game on the slot you were playing, skip to Catwoman's appearance, then quit. Now you can drop your swapped file from the cloud into the Remote folder and replace that 0% progress:
Steam \ userdata \ Steam User Number \ 200260 \ remote
Slot 1: save0.sgd
Slot 2: save1.sgd
Slot 3: save2.sgd
Slot 4: save3.sgd

Then test the game, let us know your results.

how much gb should i have for my saves? I currently have 24 gb. Also, not sure if BatmanAC is in my cloud saves, i checked the linked you sent and it's empty.

[JonoAMano]

24GB is adequate, could be higher. How much RAM and VRAM do you have? List your specs.

Is Steam Cloud Sync active both on the Steam client, and on the game itself? For the game, select game in Library, right-click Properties > Updates, then click the box that reads: Enable Steam Cloud Synchronization for Batman: Arkham City GOTY.

For the general Steam client, from the upper left client window corner click Steam > Settings > Cloud, then click the tickbox that reads: Enable Steam Cloud Synchronization for applications which support it.

I've run TexMod without incident, but just to be safe go ahead and uninstall it on yours. After you get the save issue sorted you could try reinstalling it, but make periodic manual backups using the directory for the Remote folder listed above in comment #1.

Out of curiosity, which TexMods were you running?

[JT]

using v0.9 by RS and my steam cloud wasnt so checked so i checked that and BatmanAC was already checked for cloud.

[JonoAMano]

Did anything change on your PC between when it ran well to the time the saves deleted, like antivirus upgrades or a Windows update? Are you running performance enhancers?

[JT]

um not sure, it was fine but that was yesterday. today i come back to batmanAC and realized that my save was deleted. Right now i reached to the point to play as catwoman again and i have restarted my pc and gonna run it thru texmod to see if my save is still there.

[JonoAMano]

Okay, make periodic backup saves just in case.

[JT]

just checked and i still have my save, maybe i just needed space cus before i had 24gb and only had around 13 or 16. Also is there a easier way to run texmod? I always have to select the exe file then pick the mod every time.

[JT]

oh im not sure how to do that

[JonoAMano]

Enabling TexMod is always a mini-procedure, no quick workarounds that I know of. To make backup saves, copy your .sgd save files from the Remote folder described in comment #1. You can do that while the game is running; Pause then minimize the game and copy the save. Put them in a new folder somewhere with easy access, like your desktop for now. Just to be on the safe side, I'd make separate numbered folders inside that desktop backup folder. That way you'll have multiple choices for how far back you want to go.
