Cloud save disappeared
Hi,
I stopped playing FTL for a few months, but then when I wanted today to play a bit, I had no save anymore, just the first starship (while I had almost all the ship before).
Am I the only one with this problem ? Do you know if there is a way to find my old saves ?
PS : No, I never clicked on the "delete profil" button.

I don't have FTL installed at the moment but my savegame is also gone. I have Steam Cloud enabled.

I'm glad I synchronise most of my savegames with dropbox...

I know there are save file editrors for FTL, so search for that if you want your progress back.

Steam cloud and overlay don't work properly with this game. Disable both, use local save backups.

Also, you can recover your unlocks and whatnot with FTL profile editor.

I managed to get back my save from another computer which stocked it. Beware to stop steam or your internet connexion before, or the new save without anything will replace your beloved old one.

Huh? I've had absolutely no problem with Steam Cloud saving between two Windows 10 computers. Steam Overlay also works 100% fine for me, even stable enough to Broadcast :O

It just happens. I've seen more posts like this in this forum. Nothing happened to my save file for 2 years and now it's also gone from the cloud. I've got other backups so it doesn't bother me.

Old but I just ran into this and found a solution, but this was the first thing I found on Google. You can log into Steam Cloud in your Browser and manually access stored save files. It kept several versions for me and I was able to restore it from there. Panicked for a second! Will back up manually now!
