Failed to load saved data, what can I do?

[Sandor]

How can I creat a new save data?

Assuming you had a GFWL save file beforehand, the game should have automatically created a new save file for you when you booted up the Steam version. Other than that, all I can suggest is to delete your old save file and try again. If all else fails, a clean re-install should fix all issues (that is if it deletes the folders entirely).

If you guys decide to start fresh here's how!

You can force game to create a new save file (or at least I could).
Then choose to upload new save to the cloud... Here's how.
This worked for me.
1: Disconnect from internet temporarily.
2: Close steam completely
3: Delete save game file in the c/windows/program files (x86)/steam/userdata/yourprofile/21690- folder
4: Then click on your shortcut to Resident Evil 5

It should try and open steam, choose offline of course since
at this point you are still disconnected from the web.
The game should try and load giving you the option to create a save :-)
PLAY for a while !

No promises, but this did work for me more than once.
I started brand new game about 3 times... LoL

In your case you may want to re-enable cloud saves if you haven't already.
Then later on when you connect back to web, it should also ask
if you want to upload or download save file. I chose to upload the
new save of course.

@Fatty It worked! Thank you. Now I can start a brand new game. LOL~


@MrWubzy It didn't work, but thank you all the same! :)

You can't copy over your GFWL save, for some reason it varies slightly. I Tried this a few days ago.

And we still wait on Microsoft to approve Capcom's tool which would merge over our saves

I know what is causing the problem (Windows Security) - once you type that in search go to Virus @ threat protection. almost at the bottom you will see (Ransomware Protection) click on that, then you will see (Controlled Folder Access) (ON-or-OFF) mine was on thinking it would help with Securing my PC. What it does is govern programs and app from accessing and changing your Windows folder. So in short game cant read or write. If you use some other form of 3rd-party ransomware turn it off for the time being.
