Missing South of Midnight cloud save

JohnSwan3000 · Apr 22, 2025

I was four hours into South Of Midnight on X|X. Fired it up in ROG Ally — but I was getting 20fps on low settings so I closed it and deleted the game to continue on console.

Back on the Xbox, my progress is now gone, and I can only start a new game rather than continuing. In Manage game>saved data, there is one 9.9kb file, but my only option is to delete it. There is no visible cloud save information.

So, some kind of conflict has occurred and it looks like my local save data is gone from the console. Any tips to retrieve it from the cloud? Or is that playthrough lost?

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing missing saves from the game South of Midnight.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please make sure that your console is syncing with the cloud by closing the game on your console. Restart your console completely by holding the power button for 10 seconds. Reopen the game and this should trigger a cloud sync to check for saved data.

And then check your internet connection because cloud saves require a stable connection. To do this, go to Settings > Network Settings and check your connection. Test the network to ensure there are no interruptions.

Next is to clear local saved data but not cloud date. The small 9.9kb file might be a corrupted local save and deleting it may prompt the console to pull the correct data from the cloud. Do this on your Xbox console, go to My Games & Apps > South of Midnight > Manage Game & Add-ons > Saved Data.

Select Delete Local Data, but ensure the cloud save option is not deleted.

Restart the game and see if it retrieves the cloud save.

Then double-check cloud save features. Kindly ensure that your Xbox settings are configured to allow cloud saves. To check on this, please go to Settings > System > Storage > Cloud Saved Games. Confirm that Cloud Storage is enabled and syncing.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi,

Fear not, your progress is saved in the cloud. Your save files are also stored on the console itself.

If a save is missing it will be synced.

It's a cloud only title

And cloud is not available in South Africa at this time

Try a soft reset of the console for the missing save try disconect from the internet and check the local save if not delete the local save and try retrieve the cloud one
