Make backups of your game save files. I do it after EVERY game I play.
Your only option is to Google WWZ save file.

My paste:
Hello!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to get your progress back in this case, because Epic somehow saved an empty save file to the cloud when you started the game on a clear system. It's not a common issue, but it happens sometimes.

But we can give you our emergency save files so you don't have to start from scratch.

You simply need to go to C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\Saber\WWZ\client\storage*random_session_folder_name* and replace "user_progression.dat" with one from attached archive. {LINK REMOVED}

There are 3 save files - one for 30% completion, 50% and for 100% completion. It's really up to you which one to use. Chose "Use local saves" when you run game first time with new user_progression.dat (if you will get an error message from Epic about the sync conflict).

Best Wishes,

Saber Support team

So what's the best way to start over, because I can't find this file.

I actually want to start over. I went to wwz/savesdir/steam_autocloud.vdf and deleted that. Nothing happened other than the file being replaced starting a new game.

I already caught you cheating to extreme sniper rifle with savefile.

Because you didn't know sniper rifle has scope-in view(you would have if you used it literally even once without extreme sniper rifle unlocked and selected by default; or if you ever took a look at the perks it has).

There's probably not much need for you to backup anything because you likely have everything unlocked by default(except maybe vanguard and lmg).

google wwz savefile, it's on the "♥♥♥♥ egs" reddit.

I only get the user_progression.cfg which doesn't do anything either. Maybe because steam is putting files on two hard drives.

I can ask steam to uninstall, but that doesn't ask you to uninstall save files, right?

That's not entirely true.

The game makes backups in folder storage\slots\PLAYER_ID\backup_number.
I guess Steam version does the same .
So you can try to replace current save files with some earlier slot.

But if Cloud Sync overwritten everything, you're out of luck.

I went here C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Saber\WWZ\client\storage\slots and all I had were 2 very old saves from September back when I played the EPIC version of the game which I only played a few times with no progress. Nothing for my current Steam saves. So these backups are useless for Steam users.

I have explained to you before I don't cheat. And coming from a Chinese hack where your culture does nothing more that steal intellectual properties and trademarks, nice. Your proof I cheat is based on me saying the scopes don't work in this game. The scopes don't work in this game idiot. There is no ADS or scope use in this game.

Honestly, the sniper is the only weapon in the game that has a scope by default, minus the big version also.

I personally don't believe you cheated but yeah... that statement isn't really true.
When you aim with the sniper, you literally go into a scoped view and you get a giant red cross on your screen.

"You are just trolling. Blocked all communication. Should have known better, China. "


"Chinese hack where your culture does nothing more that steal intellectual properties and trademarks"
Prove it.
Casual racism just shows how desperate you are(even if those were true, and they're not; none of that can deflect the facts I presented previously).

Post #47 proved beyond a doubt that "sniper rifle" allows you to use the scope by default.
That is...unless you cheated with a savefile that had extreme variant unlocked and pre-selected...

Post #38:"I just tested the sniper scope and you cannot view through the scope. It just does that small zoom. " - you

LOL you don't even know how to switch the sights after I told you in post#37. Stay mad, logic and facts don't care about your feelings.
