Save Games on Microsoft Store version disappearing

[casedistorted]

Hello,

I decided to try the game out on the Xbox Game Pass Microsoft Store on my Windows 10 PC. I've been playing the game all day and managed to make it to Day 20. Shortly after my Automaton arrived the game autosaved and while saving, the game crashed.

I had to ctrl+alt+delete and close the game and try to restart but it wouldn't restart the game, so I restarted my PC and everything was fine.

When I restarted the game a couple hours of my game saves were just gone. I saved a few times manually and at least a couple of them are just missing. This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen as I have found the actual save files on my hard drive, but the latest save files I know I made are completely gone.

Not sure if this is a problem with the Steam version of the game but the Microsoft Store version seems to be extremely buggy.

Any ideas what's going on with this? Any help or input is appreciated, thanks!

I'm having the same issue as you: played a bunch on the Game Pass version and then came back to find my latest save was from several in-game days ago. Apparently this has been a huge problem for people, as you can see in this thread (that's still pinned):

They say they fixed it in version 1.4.0, though you can see people still complaining that they're losing saves after the fix. Even worse, the Game Pass version that we're playing is version 1.3.3, which is before the fix.

So it's a total bummer because I was having a lot of fun but can't play anymore knowing I won't be able to save. Well I guess you could try playing in one sitting in an "Ironman" (no loading saves) marathon session...

At least you can get the game to boot. I can't even get the game pass version to launch.
