Got new PC, lost all my work

Sigh, so I really enjoy this game and I have over 400+ hours in it. The last time I played on May 3rd, I turned it off and allowed it to update to the cloud and then i uninstalled it from my old PC as I planed to uninstall Steam and give the PC to my Dad. Now on my new PC. One of the first games i downloaded was Valheim. However, i got the cloud would not sync bug and it just would not sync up and give me my data from the 3rd. I wish Valheim had stuff on their server to store some stuff cause i did every single trouble shoot that I found online about this and Steams Cloud. All of that work down the drain, only boss i had left was the Goblin King. I had the Black metal Shield, Pocupine, the Dragr Bow, padded armor and lots of other stuff that you can see in my screen shots. It is so frustrating to lose all of that gear, all of that farming down the drain, sigh. I never used cheats and I never used mods, well not until today, but none to give me stuff. The only thing I did was I had a paid server for 6 months and my friends stopped playing so I moved all of the junk to a solo game before the time ran out. Sigh, any ideas on other things I could have tried?

Unless you reinstalled windows on your old PC, or explicitly deleted your saves in %appdata%/localLow/irongate, they shoudl be still there.

More precisely, ` %appdata%/../LocalLow/IronGate `
By default, "%appdata%" goes to Users/AppData/Roaming/, so he needs that ".." to go to the parent directory of "Roaming".

Since reading the thread and the fact that you seem to not have the the files anymore, your only option is to use the admin commands to replace your lost stuff and or fly you through getting stuff otherwise quickly. It shouldn't take you too long to recoup losses to be honest.

Pro Tip : Leave your old system live until you are happy with the new.

Try posting in Bugs and Technical Issues. The Developers read that more often and you get a better chance of seeing if anyone else has had that happen, possible resolution. I wish you all the best. It's hard to put in all that work and loose it. But try to remember, we are still in Early Access and the game isn't yet finished. *hugs* Good Luck!

Ohh I know, I do not blame the devs one iota lol This was all on Steam and for all i know I might have not let it fully save on the 3rd. Trust me though, I understand it is EA, i just had to get this off my chest. I wissh I had saved my saved game info or user data, cause clearly we can not always trust Steam Cloud, I now see.

Your world and character file is probably still on your old pc, unless you manually deleted them.

Yeah, fair chance your saves are still on what is now dad's PC unless he started with a full reformat and reinstall of Windows.

>>> BACKUPS <<<

Steam Cloud is not a backup.
