Corrupt cloud saves overwrite local saves, any way to fix?

If you choose the cloud save it is going to pull it down and overwrite the local save.

Did you already overwrite the cloud save with the local save data that you loaded?

you overwrote steams cloud save, that's it, it is now gone. Never overwrite steams cloud save as the local one in that situation will be the newest save with nothing in it.

You won't get compensation as you chose to overwrite steams save and they cannot recover the old save as you have now synced the new one to steams server.

Nothing Microsoft or the Devs can do as the save is on steams cloud not Xbox cloud.

Same thing happened to me on Forza Horizon 5 but on Microsoft app not steam, it can happen on any platform that uses cloud saving.

I now manually backup all my saves weekly to a USB pen that way I can recover if it happens.

well, the save is gone, picking the local will resync to the cloud and overwrite your original save, there is no restore function, there is nothing that can be done.

Thanks but the games are using the cloud

I believe you can choose to download the save from the cloud or "use local" when you start it up again after you reset the app.

Otherwise, I can't find any info on how to erase the save on the cloud except overwriting it with a local one after you do the above.
