Greetings. Yesterday I was having issues with steam and ROR2 where it kept saying it couldn’t back up too the cloud, and if I continued I would lose any progress since the last back up, I played on the same computer so the local should be up to date, but to be sure I canceled it and waited for steam to fix itself.

Did this happen to you?

wasnt a cloud issue for me.

im going to try to verify my cache then try this which i found in an older steam thread from RoR2.
-maybe itll work for you 2?

"Go to your Steam installation folder. Find the Userdata folder. Find the 632630 folder which belongs to Risk of Rain. Your save files are stored in there in .xml format. Now look at which one is the oldest ( the one you lost). Then find the newest one, copy it's name, and then rename your oldest save file with the name of your newest one. Basically you are fooling the game by making it beleive that your oldest save file is the newest save file, by giving it the new save file's name . Sorry, english is not my native language, and i don't know how to make it more clear that that. Hope it helps you! The important thing to keep in mind here is that your progress is never lost, the save files are still there. So wether you change the name of the file, or simply copy ALL of the contents from your all save file into the new one will produce the same result, as long as you make sure to delete the newest save after you did so. Also, it doesen't hurt to make a save backup whenever you are done playing untill they fix the issue."

Might be a steam thing cause my gals Stardew valley was reverted a full 20 hours of gameplay.

were you playing offline? Seems to happen with me with other games, all progress resets if I go from playing offline to online.
