Hi, (translation with CoPilot) since this morning after about 15+ minutes I only get a background screen with the option to quit the game. I cannot load the game itself. Windows 11 and NVIDIA are up to date. The game was reinstalled. The error remains...
Best regards,
Anselm

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 11:28 AM

#

Ok, can you check if game works correctly from laptop right now?

#

We have issues with corrupted cloud saves when using two devices

#

sry for my english my school english is bad

#

I have checked this, its the same Error on Laptop

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 11:29 AM

#

Seems like your cloud save is corrupted then.

I may try fixing it, but it's not guaranteed sadly.

#

%localappdata%\R5\Saved\ - can you please send me this folder archived?

#

Win+R -> %localappdata%\R5\Saved\

#

From the last device you've used

thick breach Apr 17, 2026, 11:33 AM

#

Oh sorry, i delete the save files

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 11:33 AM

#

D:

#

Maybe you still have it on your PC?

#

Or you deleted it from both PC and laptop?

thick breach Apr 17, 2026, 11:37 AM

#

only from PC

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 11:41 AM

#

Can you give me this folder from laptop then?

thick breach Apr 17, 2026, 11:41 AM

#

know isit on my laptop

#

oh discord says that i cannot give you folder "not the right typ"

#

C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\R5\Saved

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 11:47 AM

#

Archive it into .zip

thick breach Apr 17, 2026, 11:47 AM

#

📎 R5BackData.zip

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 11:51 AM

#

Ok, so lets try following

#

On the same machine, find C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\76561198138282916\ - and delete RocksDB folder

thick breach Apr 17, 2026, 11:52 AM

#

ok

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 11:52 AM

#

After that disable steam cloud saves

#

After disabling steam cloud saves - unpack this rocksDB folder instead

#

📎 RocksDB.zip

#

And then try to launch the game

thick breach Apr 17, 2026, 11:54 AM

#

Ok thank you i try it

#

Ok thats not my game 15 minutes and its loaded and loaded and loaded. I will not loaded i will play 🙁

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 12:10 PM

#

So it didn't help?

thick breach Apr 17, 2026, 12:12 PM

#

No sorry it was 16 Minutes and its loaded and loaded, but its ok

#

Thank you for your help

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 12:17 PM

#

Well, that means your savefile is fully corrupted

#

The only thing you can do it disable cloud saves

#

And then just delete %localappdata%\R5\Saved\ folder

#

Game will work again but you will lose all your progress :(

#

Sorry for that

mystic pelican Apr 17, 2026, 12:54 PM

#
