Savegame is gone

[kickassez]

Hi
Just started F1 2013 like every day.
Whenever I quit the game I wait until the game finished synchronizing and uploading the savegame.
Now I started the game and then an error appears that my savegame is corrupted.
WTF? How can I restore that? There is a lot of wok in the savegame.

Thank you for all replies!

thank you.
wtf that can't be... there have to be a solution to restore the last correct savegame...
they have to offer a solution for this (codemasters) maybe together with steam.
i don't want to start from the beginning... there must be another way.
WTF CODEMASTERS

I don't want to destroy your hope for help, but imho there is no way to correct this. Your Savegame is stored in the Steam User folder. I've posted this in another Thread http://steamcommunity.com/app/223670/discussions/0/684839199145940229/#c684839199183431604 . I'm not from Steam support but what you maybe can try is backup the content of this folder and then delete the content. If you start the game, maybe the Server content will be synchronized to your client. For the future you should deactivate the Cloud Saving from Steam. The same issue as in F1 2012 ... corrupt save games ... only solution is to deactivate Cloud Saving.
If my suggested solution doesn't work try to disable the Cloud Saving and restore the files which you have saved before. I've played f1 2012 over 200 hours and 2013 about 100 hours without a savegame problem, but with deactivated Cloud Saving.

Edit: All Files beginning with "savegame@profile0", if you only have 1 Profile, must have the same timestamp. Maybe you can reconstruct something, but without help from CM and Steam you are lost.

thank you for the link.. very useful

hm in the folder userdata and f1 2013... the folders are empty..
no savegames there. remote folder empty. savegame folder empty... :(:(

i'll write steam and ask if they can restore the last correct savegame...

if they can't then its just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sorry..

start from the beginning.. no career again.. like this its no fun. just for some short races or coop campaign.

If you are lucky maybe the OS has done a copy. ... CH = Schweiz... ich schreib mal deutsch =) ... also wenn das Spiel auf C:\ Installiert ist und zufälligerweise ein Wiederhestellungspunkt existiert kannst du mal auf den Ordner klicken "Eigenschaften > Vorgängerversionen" wenn, da was angezeigt wird gut, wenn nicht pech.

Das der Ordner leer ist, bedeutet aber nichts gutes. Denn dann werden die Dateien beim beenden des Spiels nicht in die Cloud gesichert, sondern verschoben. Geht da was schief ...

Grüße,
Mike

die sind erst weg seit dieser fehlermeldung.. vorher waren die da drin. aber nach dem syncen nach der fehlermeldung waren die weg... wiederherstellungspunkt wäre traurig.. ist aber leider nicht auf C

[MikeDH]

echt mist ... kann ich verstehen ... deaktiviere für die zukunft das cloud saving und sicher ab und an den Ordner, dann hast du echt keine probleme mehr und kannst das spiel wie vorgesehen benutzen. so ist das ja eine Zumutung. Aber vielleicht kann dir ja einer von Steam helfen... ich drück dir die Daumen.

danke.. ich warte jetzt auf eine antwort von denen.. wenn die nicht weiterhelfen können, werde ich einfach keine karriere mehr spielen.. schade

wie gesagt, ohne cloud saving von steam geht's tadellos ...

Mine has just corrupted and have lost all progress since I started playing 2013 and that's a lot to loose. Seems to be catching as I lost my profile to Tiger Woods golf a couple of days ago and losy over 2 years career progress!!!
