Workaround for "auto save" malfunction
By wlkanos
This might not be a common issue but it happened to me several times and to a friend once.
The issue is some times "auto save" does not work and you have to manually save, but even then once you log back in your manual save is not there, I noticed this issue happening a lot for me when I switch PCs, switching between my desktop setup & HTPC. I assume it just doesn't upload your save to wherever their servers are, and once you log in again it'll load a previous save and overwrite your local one. Anyways you can then just manually move your save somewhere else for back up, and reload it if needed.

Below are steps to make sure you can backup your local saves somewhere else just in case something like this happens to you.
You can also use the batch to backup anything or just move around files for other reason, like modding Skyrim VR.

Creating backup batch
  1. Open notepad and paste the following with changing the path to your own:
    xcopy "C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment\One Piece Pirate Warriors 4\Saved" "C:\Users\%user%\Desktop\New folder\backup-%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%-%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%" /c /d /e /h /i /k /q /r /s /x /y

    • %user%=your pc username
    • The second path is the destination where your want to save your backups to
    • The portion after "%date%" is to rename the backup folder with current date/time at the end
    • Delete from "backup" all the way to before the end of quotation mark and replace it with "filename.extention" if you want to move/backup a specific file instead of a folder
  2. Save as "name.bat"
  3. Follow the steps in "Solution #2" here[www.infopackets.com]
  4. Optional but recommended: Assign a keyboard macro to run the 2nd script
Now all you have to do is before closing the game, manually save, click you macro button, and you now have a backup elsewhere of your latest save, if you load the game and a previous save is loaded there then simply move your back up to the first path of the first script, which should be here: C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment\One Piece Pirate Warriors 4\Saved and overwrite all.

you are right this happened to me when I got Kaido's dragon form then when I logged on again it was gone, Law's move set, and X Drakes stats didn't save. You said you switched to PC and it started happening but I been playing this on PC and the same thing happened to me meaning that it is a PC problem.
