Lost save game following save

[NCC74654]

I went on a farming mission yesterday with a friend. We grafted a lot and upon returning to base I went about building before eventually signing out. Upon relogging in a few hours later, I discovered that everything we did was gone. All the supplies, all the building everything. The game loaded up a previous save of over a day earlier. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

That sounds like a brutal rollback! A few possible reasons and fixes for this issue:

Possible Causes & Fixes

1. Cloud Save Sync Issues

• If the game uses cloud saves (Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation), sometimes it reverts to an old version due to a failed sync.
• Fix:
  • Check Steam > Settings > Cloud and see if there’s a sync conflict.
  • If you’re on Xbox or PlayStation, check for any save data conflicts in system settings.

2. Corrupt Save File

• Some games roll back to an earlier save if the latest one gets corrupted.
• Fix:
  • Check if the game has a backup save feature. Some survival games keep older save files in the game folder.
  • If it does, try restoring a previous manual save.

3. Auto-Save Failure

• The game might not have auto-saved properly before logging out.
• Fix:
  • Always manually save before quitting, if the game allows it.
  • If it’s multiplayer, ensure the host saves before shutting down the session.

4. Dedicated Server Rollback (If Playing on a Server)

• If you’re on a dedicated server, it may have crashed or restarted improperly, reverting to the last stable save.
• Fix:
  • Check with the server admin if there’s a backup that can be restored.

5. Game Update or Mod Conflict

• If the game updated or a mod was removed, it might have reset progress.
• Fix:
  • Check if an update was installed between your logout and login.
  • If using mods, reinstall them and see if your progress returns.

Next Steps

• What game are you playing? Some have specific rollback issues.
• Do you see any older save files in your game’s directory?
• Were you playing solo or on a hosted multiplayer session?

Let me know, and I’ll help you dig deeper!

I’m assuming this is co-op.

I am unfortunately not familiar enough with Xbox to give any advice although I know singleplayer and co-op are experiencing a range of issues.

I am refreshing this in hopes that someone more experienced may be able to assist you.
