has anyone had luck fixing the corrupted file issue? I randomly got stuck in the inifinite load last night and today I just get put back to the main menu. I've already tried the replacing files and disabling steam cloud with no luck. Not sure whta else to do considering I was basically at the end of the game and would rather not have to start over right now

I have the same issue. Just stuck in Loading screen, and then goes back to main menu after 5-10 minutes. Only option is to quit.

My game crashed earlier today for the first game. I tried relaunching world and it was an infinite loading screen. I fixed mine after almost 1.5 hours by replacing it with the backup. First few tries didn’t work. I could tell you my process if you’d like. (I know you said you tried this already but maybe I did something different)

Also, have you tried checking to make sure the manifests are both the same.

i turned off game > disable cloud > delete saved > restart game and make character > close game > add folder back > enable cloud >select cloud save on start up. I also tried starting backup with local save only

# astral glade How did you load back up?

You can find your backup saves here. This stores the last 30 backup saves.

C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles%your_Steam_ID%_Backups

Before doing anything I turned off the cloud save in steam Via Properties.

First I just made an entire backup of the SaveProfiles folder on my desktop called windrose backups. This way I had the original save and all the backups. Just in case

Second. I checked the Crashes folder and noted the time. Crash time was 6:53. Then I went to the backups and found a 6:51 save. This is the save I restored.

(Optional) Then I deleted the SaveProfiles folder completely. IMPORTANT: IF YOU DO THIS STEP MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF THIS FOLDER. Next, I launched the game so it would create a new SavedProfiles folder. Exit the game. Doing this erases your character and worlds. HAVE YOUR SaveProfiles BACKUPS!!! After this verify the steam cloud is still disabled. I cannot remember if I had to flip it off again or if came back on.

Next, I copied the 0.10.0 folder from the backup. I went back to the SaveProfiles folder. Instead of going to the backup folder I then went into the other folder, the one with your steam ID. Open that, open RocksDB then paste the 0.10.0 folder in there. replace any items.

Go back to the backup save and this time copy the AccountDescription.Json. Follow the same previous steps that you did the 0.10.0 folder. Back to SaveProfiles, Open SteamID folder (not the backup one), Open rocksdb, then copy the AccountDescription.Json into it, again replace files if asked.

Finally, I went back to steam properties and turned the cloud save back on. I used the cloud save option and not the local one. If i did the local one this didn't work.

Loaded up the game and my save worked. It did crash about 5 mins into the game again and I had to do this again but I just let the game run for about 5 mins next time doing nothing serious and turned down the grapics a notch. Been fine since.

oh i see it but dont see that as a backup

tepid willow

You don’t need to back that up. I’m just saying check and see if they are the same.

nova bane
#

ok so i clicked current and it has the same name and number as manifest

tepid willow
#

Should be good then there. Mine was also the same but it was something I came across trying to get this to work.

nova bane
#

it still doesnt work dead

tepid willow
#

Welp, unfortunate. Hopefully they can fix this issue soon. In the meantime maybe support can help you

I was able to get it to work with a back up from 2 days ago.

#

was a pain in a you know what on Steam OS, but only lost 2 days of game

Ty friends

So happy to hear that you both got a file working! There's probably some lost progress but its better than restarting!

# fast wagon having the same issue, can't seem to make it work :/

I'm having the same issue and also have no idea when it started because all I've been doing is playing on a server, now none of my local worlds work OR any other servers, cos the server I was on had a 2x XP multipler

don't wanna recreate my character but the character repair in WindrosePlus doesn't work for my character save either. 🙁

Guys im raging, the game wouldn't start at all stuck on the "steam play button" goes blue "launching" then nothing, then back to "play" as if the game isn't launched...and after reading the whole cloud save corruption issue, I managed to recover the worlds folder and got that working
but my character doesn't load... I've copied over the "players" folder back into the game (steam cloud off now) but then it got stuck on infinite loading.
So after testing 2 things I can't get my character to load now. one of two things happen:

  1. If I just copy over/replace the Players folder, it get stuck on infinite loading
  2. if I copy over both players and accounts, it opens the game, but just basically ignores my player folder and accounts folder maybe?, prompting me to start fresh (tutorial intro, new character)

is there a fix? the backups of the Players folder does not show anything older than today even though I've played several days during the week, only about 6 "backups" all from today once the issue started

Hey, captains! We’re rolling out a new Steam Cloud Saves update intended to fix the issue with corrupted saves. We’ll be closely monitoring your feedback and will respond accordingly if any issues arise.

Version: 0.10.0.5.120-073042fb

Save files improvements
Implemented a new storage and backup system for save files

The game now automatically backs up all data every 10 minutes of gameplay and upon exiting

Updated the save file structure for cloud synchronization to minimize syncing issues

Broken save files no longer block the game from loading

Data Recovery UI: If the latest save file for a world or character is found to be broken at startup, a special UI window will appear. Players can either quit the game (e.g., to attempt a cloud resync) or recover data from a backup. The game will automatically offer the latest available one

Save Migration System: Implemented a system to migrate old save files (pre-version %version-number%) to the new format. In most cases, this process is seamless and invisible

Migration Conflict Handling: If the game detects old, corrupted save files that cannot be properly migrated, a notification window will appear with information about the affected files and a prompt to delete them
