I have tried the official FAQ steps; the clever but no luck workaround that uses the public beta testing server to "clean" the files; I have watched and followed the instructions of Clairvius' YouTube video on the matter to no success. I feel like I have picked and poked at my files all night at this point...

What I can do is access all of my saves with no issue when I am running them through the public beta testing version. The only issue is that it's on the public beta testing version.

So that is to say; the saves themselves are accessible (after the public beta test does whatever it does and deletes whatever corruption it claims to find) but only on the public beta testing version.

i was able to use 2-3 backups back to recover my second to last save--- to get to backups go to search bar type %appdata% then at top where it shows folders go back one folder to get to appdata then go into local > R5 > saved > saveprofiles copy and save this folder somewhere and delete the whole folder from appdata, launch game and create a new character and load into a world to generate a new folder> now go to the saveprofiles folder you saved and find the file thats name ends with backups (there should be several try get the one thats contents was edited second to most recently), copy the whole lot from inside one of these backups (the 0.10.0 folder and the account description txt folder) then go to the appdata>local > R5 > saved > saveprofiles go to the folder that has just numbers (your steam id) and delete the 0.10.0 and acc desription txt file from inside and paste the backup one in, you can try launch if it doesnt load go back repeat steps with 1 more backup file back (to find out what file is mopst recent you can right click and see when was edited last, the most recent one will be corrupt but 2-3 back should work), continue untill loads (you will lose few hrs of progress but better than nothing)

This is a bit easier to follow so I’ll try this another day when I’m not frustrated as hell:

This is what I did to resolve the issue when it cropped up for me today.

I had a few characters and I ended up deleting my first character just to clean things up and I guess maybe that played into the issue with the steam cloud saves, so this is what I eventually figured out that fixed it for me - I was stuck at loading screen (map) and it would never get to the character screen.

Hopefully I remember most of the steps but I think it gets the general idea across. Since I had multiple characters I wanted to keep I had to do some figuring out which folder was for which character - roughly points 6 and 7 below so you can probably skip or modify those if you only have one character.

  1. Go into Windrose in Steam and disable cloud saves for it in the properties.

  2. Go to "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles%your_Steam_ID%" and backup that folder somewhere for safe keeping - that is where you will copy back your characters that you want to restore.

  3. In folder "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles%your_Steam_ID%\RocksDB\0.10.0\Players" delete the folders in there - each folder is one of your characters (if you have multiple) - ensure you have the backup above before doing this.

  4. With cloud saves off and the local characters deleted, I was able to launch Windrose with no issues - it forces you to create a local character since you have none.

  5. If you check with the new character created, all your worlds still exist. Exit Windrose.
