hello!
yes you can finda FAQ here:

it seems that the issue was loading multiple accounts, i fixed it by manually editing the JSON file

we are currently working on a better handling of saves, the version is now on PTR. So far we suggest to keep Steam Cloud Save sync off as it is the main cause why saves could get corrupted
spark ore
unfortunately i noticed that my saves became corrupted even with Steam Cloud off, but that might have been due to the cosntant Fatal error crashes before this last update.
it seems fixed with the recent update so hopefully no more fatal errors or corruption.

yes, crashes could cause save corruptions too. we are working on a new save system that sohuld make things better, hope we can release it soon
spark ore

Would the PTR version be deployed soon and if it does, will we be able to play with our previous characters?

in terms of restoration it would so a similar thing descirbed in here:

so if you have a working backup - then yes. but you should be able to recover it on your own as well right now by following the FAQ

I tried the exact same steps here but it didn't do anything for me. I'm still being redirected back to the main menu after loading screen.
This is frustrating since this is my 2nd character already and I'm not going to play all of the other things again just to level up my character and equip myself with my current gear.
I'll just wait for the fix

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
hope this would be helpful!
