Corrupt save, can't roll back, a way to manage this and keep playing.

[Technick]

Playing on the PC Game Pass but issue the same, This started happening to me 37hrs in, did speak to Bethesda about this first but they told me it was a Microsoft issue, I spoke to MS and asked them if they configure versioning on cloud backups and was told they only support it on the Xbox not PC, so no cloud backups to roll back to.

So even though it looks like you've got no save to roll back to, run the story again until first cut scene autosaves, then exit game & reload, go to game slots, select roll back and you'll see a list of saved games to restore.

Unfortunately, i'm now 42 hrs in and this issue is still occurring, so at the end of my session I just copy the saved folder to another location on my hard drive.
This began happening for me after the last update, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Had the same problem where I lost my whole game progress. I am playing through Game Pass on PC. Managed to fix the issue by starting a new game and playing until the guy runs away from the bats. Then select save slot and roll back the save. You will lose some progress but not the whole thing.

Always backup files after play was hard work because my computer used by many people in my family so 3 slot was full because of that, Gaizerek solution didn't work on me. Hope this stupid issue get fixed and I had enough lose so many save file

GameSave Manager is your friend: https://www.gamesave-manager.com/
I have been using it for years.
Not the fastest but at least your saves are safe.

Thx for the thread.
In case someone would need the save folder of a GamePass version - it's:
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Packages\BethesdaSoftworks.ProjectRelic_3275kfvn8vcwc\SystemAppData\wgs

Upd.: had the issue ("Failed to save game, press Retry..." during the game at every checkpoint and "Your current save game is damaged and cannot be loaded..." when I quit to main menu), but then when I runned the game again it said that there are 2 save states - old in the cloud and newer on my drive and asked to choose which one I want to pick. I picked the old cloud save and it loaded successfully and errors stopped occuring. I guess that there was some microsoft servers issue. Unfortunately, that's not something very rare, I once lost my saves of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, so maybe making backups each time you play their game is not overcautious at all..

I have jjust had the same issue. I just did a game restart and it seemed to load my save this time with no issues. Sometimes a restart is all it needs.

Playing on game pass btw
