I lost a huge chunk of story mode progress

[GryffTheDonkey]

When i loaded up the game a few minutes ago, it came up with a screen asking me to select to either play gta 5 on cloud save or local save, i accidentally clicked cloud save and that was way behind on my progress. I dont know if this is a good explanation or not but someone please help.

Nothing anyone can do to help if you overwrote your local saves with old cloudsaves, and whatever incremental/% saves you have aren't what you want/need.

At that point the best you could do is grab a %save from the internet - toss it in - and pretend it never happened. (not tested these links recently) -

And- you may very well want to disable cloudsaves again, or leave it on - and overwrite them all with your current progress. Disable - ingame, home, settings, somewhere is option to disable it. Else, open my docs / rockstar games / gtav / profiles / profilename - and delete the cloudsavedata.dat and it will ask again on restart of game.

You -may- also find something useful here -

so are you basically saying i cant overwrite it again with my local saves?

[psykoteky]

You tell me - I do not know what state your save files are currently in.
Turn off cloudsync - check the state of your saves.

If you overwrote your local saves.. SOL (unless you made backups- like one of those 'happy' accidents where you -rename- my docs / rockstar games instead of deleting it while troubleshooting), or you got onedrive backing up your files, etc. So many diff things could do, be done - crystal ball isn't the suggested method of suss'n this out.

You can always just do story mode again
