Is there some way to access older Steam Cloud saves?

[GamblingGambit]

I was playing Hollow Knight when my PC crashed WHILE the game was saving. Now the save file is corrupted and I can't open it. Is there any way I can find an older, uncorrupted save file I have used?

There only one version of files.

When you close game, it uploads the said version to the cloud, replacing whatever there.

Example if made one save called Bill, that what you see on cloud when close game, when you open game, make another save call it Jim, and close game, you see Bill, and Jim save on cloud, now age of file, let say Bill save was done at 1PM then quit game, that be on cloud, now when launch game at 5PM, and saved, and quit game at 6PM, the 6PM save will replace the 1PM save on cloud. Deleting cloud save, do that, have to run game, delete saves, then close game, that should get rid of current save on cloud.

If save corrupted, then nothing can do about it, but start new game.

There a small chance if windows has rollback where can rollback files, can look into that, but if nothing appears from the list, then yeah nothing can do about it.

it sucks to know that i could have prevented this by just not opening the game

If mess with save file, always make a backup before messing with it, so can rollback the issue.

For the future I recommend not relying on cloud saves.

Game Save Manager is a must frankly for anyone with more than a handful of games. It's saved my bacon no end of times over the years.

I typically do a backup once a week for the games I've played and bung the updates save onto an external drive.

I suggest Game save manager, just like crunchyfrog suggested.

It can help you with your saves, if you ever want file rollback versions, can try looking up how to make a version rollback system, so if detects update to file, it backs up said file, and keeping old, would suggest getting a nice HDD to hold all storage you wish, as they're cheap compare to SSDs.

It's not like you'd need a "guide". Just go to the Steam cloud page -- and if you want to know how to find it: go to your "Account details" and scroll down to where it says "Steam Cloud"...

And no, you have no access to older versions of the files.

learn to use garbage can, this is seen as not total deleted. ( old windows way to prevent lost data.) until user allowed and free enough room to handle it. )

please dont tell you dont know restore from delete files here, there has been app that could do that over 20 years.
