i factory reset my PC and when i run the game nothing is there its like i JUST bought the game.

I am not sure what you mean by that

Factor resetting PC = Deleting everything on the PC

including your games

Meaning your games will be as if you installed them for the first time

[tawdry rover]

yeah i know i have some of the games cloud saves turned on besides Project Zomboid

any fixes

im worried

[tawdry rover]

if ur confused sir basically i factory reset my pc without backing up pz so then when i re install it and open it non of my progress is there

like its brand new

[upper hamlet]

The game does not have cloud saves, it is written as such on Steam

Meaning if you did not backup the saves, then Steam did not do it either

[tawdry rover]

oh

[tawdry rover]

what are you saying??

[upper hamlet]

That if you deleted your game saves, you no longer have them

[tawdry rover]

so thats it?

i just lost my progress

i technically just factory reset my pc and on steam settings i have cloud saves enabled

im really confused here sir

[upper hamlet]

Not all games have cloud saves

[tawdry rover]

oh

sir

is there any any possible way to try to get them back

like really

any way

i am dissapointed

[upper hamlet]

Check if you have a "Windows.old" folder in your C drive

Next to your "Windows" folder

If not, then there would not be any realistic way to recover the saves

[tawdry rover]

this?

thats the only one the popped up

[upper hamlet]

You do not have it in that case

[tawdry rover]

oh

..

im sad

im dumb anyways

[upper hamlet]

Sorry for your loss, the only realistic recovery is get a disk recovery expert, though that costs money usually and is not certain to recover anything

[tawdry rover]

oh

alright

thanks man

sir

sorry to disturb

i came across my recent profiles i had made on this PC

if i manage to find the one which i think has the saves

will it work?

to re install that same profile

[upper hamlet]

You do? The saves are in the User/Zomboid folder by default
