Anyone else lose some of their saves out of the blue?

I loaded up the game just now to continue my playthrough and I see that I've completely lost all of my saves since the release day session I played. This seriously sucks, because even though I wasn't very far in any of the questlines, I did take a long, multi-day (in-game) journey to Anvil, explored some new sights, upgraded my armor and so forth, all for that to just disappear.

They're not in the in-game menu. They're completely gone from my savegame folder. I don't know where they went or what caused them to disappear. It's bumming me out, man. Has anyone else lost any saves like this?

It's like my game just reset my save is gone too. This morning I was conquering the main quest. FML.

Sounds like it's different from what you experienced but when I restarted the game they were missing from the menu. After choosing continue they were there when I tired to load.

For ALL Bethesda games I regularly back up my save games. Always have. For SOME odd reason though they are not in the documents shortcut in explorer like every other game I have seen,

You have to open windows explorer and type in

C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\SaveGames

So I added that to Quick Access. I have a batch file in the saved games folder than every so often I double click and it zips up all my savegames. I also NEVER use quicksave, always hard saves because Bethesda quicksaves have always been buggy.

Eesh, sounds like you were much further along than I was! The main advantage to having played the original a thousand times is that I didn't have to re-create what progress I lost because I've been everywhere I explored a hundred times, but it still sucked lol

Yeah, I originally found out they were missing because I usually hit Continue when I start the game up, and it bumped me back to Chorrol with my crappy iron armor.

I've been playing Bethesda games since Morrowind but never outright had any of the games delete a save of mine, I guess I just got unlucky this time heh. I turned off Steam's saves cloud sync in case that might have been part of the issue.

As for backups, I could consider that but it seems like a lot of work considering the fact that this is the first ever time I've had something like this happen.

When you go to load a save click on the arrow next to your characters name if the saves aren't visible. It's a drop down menu this worked for me, the saves are just hidden...

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately, I already tried it. I could see all of my saves up until I shut the game down on the first night. I've since rebuilt my character but yeah, it was quite a bummer when it happened.
