My saved game is GONE

[ZidzeN]

So basically I was like 30% progress, and my game minimized, and it didn't open again, so I restarted it, and I come back and I have no saved game AT ALL, it's gone, 0% progress again... Did someone else have this error aswell?

This is pathetic... Why the hell does this game only have one save slot? Why can't it have at least five? Third time I've lost my save. I am getting royally fed up of having to reply the first sections again and again.

Monolith you ♥♥♥♥.

66 Hours on Shadow of Mordor and I get on today and my progress was still there I left my computer on the main menu before clicking play to select continue story mode and when I get back and hover over continue story it says 0% but 66 hours

[TheHeath]

lost my save to. 16 hours and 44 mins 0%! WTF!!!

I have not played for a while but recently i got the feel of playing some Middle-Earth and all of the sudden i got an update, so i downloaded the update and started up the game. But the game was stuck on loading, so i exited the game. Verified the files and started it up again, but when i started pressing on continue i noticed it said 0% 17hours so i was a little confused. But then when i got into the game it started from the beginning so that made me even more confused.

But then i remembered a while ago (a few updates back) i played some Middle-Earth and it gave me a warning when i was going to continue playing on my save, now i dont remember exactly what it said but it said something about save mismatch like the future updates will make me unable to continue my save if i update, but at the time i forgot about it. Now how would i be able to go back to the older version of Middle-Earth so i can continue my save?

Maybe answering these questions will help a bit?

1) Is Steam Cloud enabled for your Steam account?
Yes
2) Did you sign in with a WBPlay account for Shadow of Mordor?
Yes
3) How did you close the game before you lost your save (Exit normally, crashed, terminate via Task Manager, etc.)?
Last time i played game was stuck in 'loading' so the only option i had was terminate via Task Manager.
4) When you lost your save, did you launch the game through the Steam client or directly via executable/shortcut?
Steam client.
5) What was your completion % in the game when you lost your save?
I dont remember but it was about 30-40% i guess.

Hi Zidzen,

If you could, could you answer a few questions for me?

1) Is Steam Cloud enabled for your Steam account?
2) Did you sign in with a WBPlay account for Shadow of Mordor?
3) How did you close the game before you lost your save (Exit normally, crashed, terminate via Task Manager, etc.)?
4) When you lost your save, did you launch the game through the Steam client or directly via executable/shortcut?
5) What was your completion % in the game when you lost your save?

yes
yes

exit normally, crash it, etc. done all of them multiple times, not sure which one when the saves was lost, almost a 100% sure i lost them with the last opdate, because i had played few hours before, it updated, i did some benchmark testing which i had done before as well and wanted to test ingame and all saves where gone.

through steam.

96%+-

its 40hours of gameplay so i am not happy at all.. this type of thing should NEVER EVER happen, there is NOTHING code wise you should touch that should remove my local safe files or the steamcloud files.... so no idea how you screwed that up.

wow i would have stopped after the second time -.- lost 40 hours of play this time, doubt i will touch the game anytime soon if they can't fix it... and i actually really liked the game so that is kinda sad (but not wasting 40hours again to get to that stage.. there isnt even difficulty so you can crank it to max for more fun -.-)

This recent update has messed up a lot of peoples saves and I want them to do something about it ASAP

[Sentinel 08295]

This has been a known issue from week one. I have made manual backups (takes 5 secs) at the end of every play session since it was first reported. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

So for those of you who planned to fail, here you go.... SAVE FILES!:

Opened up my game today and 2hrs 23min played but 0% progress. Yay!

Not a great first impression for someone new to the game


Edit: Looks like the same issue in Arkham Origins -__-

DUDE, THANKS SO MUCH! <3

I have tried different things and as long as I play the game with steam in online mode it worked for me. Having to download save files might be a hassel for some people.

Same issue, my game just CTD and came back and my save file was gone.


1) Is Steam Cloud enabled for your Steam account?
YES
2) Did you sign in with a WBPlay account for Shadow of Mordor?
NO
3) How did you close the game before you lost your save (Exit normally, crashed, terminate via Task Manager, etc.)?
CTD
4) When you lost your save, did you launch the game through the Steam client or directly via executable/shortcut?
Steam
5) What was your completion % in the game when you lost your save?
1/2 of all side quests completed, I was at the first real boss fight in the main story, the dude with the hammer.

I'm going to look for the file in my CrashPlan backup and hopefully that will fix the issue.

Was this after the parch from yesterday?
I lost my save a while ago and the patch notes claim its fixed now.
Dont wanna restart untill its fixed.

Note: This is a copy and paste from another post, didn't want to type it all over again and was directed at a single poster at the time:

Are you using the Steam Beta, they put a number of patches having to do with save game files and steam cloud. The best bet on not losing save game files (not just for this game) is to not use steam cloud, if you don't want to turn it off in all games I would still turn it off for this game.

I've ran benchmark all the way through, have changed graphic settings, and had game crash due to a hardware failure in my system right in the middle of playing game and still never lost a save I however never use steam cloud or steam overlay.
