Lost My save game..AGAIN! help me figure this out please.

[Skilful Scalpel]

So, for some reason my savegame got wiped again, it happened to me like 2/3 times, mostly because switching steam profiles overwrites the save game for god knows what reason..
now i did some random character trials and some survivals, but because the save is gone, i can't tell (nor remember) which ones i did and which i didn't, anyway of telling so that i wont waste my time doing the same stuff i did with no FM reward cause i got it before?

Look at your colors.( 1-3 easy), (3-6 normal), (6-10 hard) fight money for extreme.

Did you play the game on another account? That's probably the reason.

Why didn't you start backing up your save file after the first time it happened? :/

Same happened to me for other reasons. This game is a piece of ♥♥♥♥.

The reason for this is, how Steam+SFV use the same folder for savegames on the same Windows account, you need to switch local Windows accounts, instead of simply log out and login with a different Steam account, to avoid this in future.

If your savegame file was
- corrupted / game crashed exactly during saving
- or deleted during a Windows-reinstallation
- or overwritten by another player, who used your personal, local Windows account

then your singleplayer progress is unrecoverable (unless you did Windows backups regulary for your AppData folder).

This is where SFV savegames are usually located:

%LocalAppData%\StreetFighterV\Saved

Shortcut: Windows button + R
+ paste the above line, this path is usually hidden/protected in Windows, you can enable "Show Hidden Folders" to unhide it.

If you have multiple user/admin accounts on your PC, you should also check whether your savegame is saved in their account paths instead, this can happen, if you played as administrator on a normal user account.

Fight money and DLC unlocks are stored on Capcoms servers, so these are not lost.

You will not get any fight money for previously completed tasks again.

There is a workaround to see your story progress by looking into the shop, story costumes are unlocked/purchaseable for each character, you have finished it with.

You can also track your survival mode progress by checking your unlocked colors for each different costume of each character.

This happended to me too, definitely back up your saves. Mines was caused by the graphics driver crashing and not the game.

Damn amateurs these days cannot even design the interface properly.
