Maybe they are playing on a server and got kicked?

Hard to grasp really.

I don't get it either, but I get the impression that he/she is not happy about whatever it is.

Shot in the dark but try this..

Library
right click game name for Properties
Local Files
Verify

Good Luck.

Yup, everyone should be prepared to lose everything at any time because it is ALPHA.. such is the way of game testing.

However from the blog post.

On a more technical note, we’ve also been looking into a solution for a cloud sync issue where players have gotten their saves overwritten and replaced with earlier versions. Losing progress is always very unfortunate, so getting this fixed is something we’ve been keen on and really want to get right! Just like with other updates to the game lately, this patch will come to the Public Test branch before we push it to the Default version of the game, so keep an eye out for that if you want to help testing it!

Since basically every game on Steam has issues with Steam Cloud I have my doubts it is the devs fault.

Except in a recent news by Valheim devs they acknowledge there is an issue with it they specifically are working on....

First piece of advice I got off of Steam forums was 'disable cloud saves'. Never had
any reason to regret it.

Sync works fine for me but I live near NYC so server connection is not really an issue.

If someone lived in China or something it might be a good idea to disable it .. or if you use wifi or live with a family that constantly streams everything.

Only issue I ever had was from a game crash and that hasn't happened in a very long time since I don't mod or anything.

I've been in Japan for many years and its not an issue here. As I said too, its a known issue to devs who are working on as per the news today.

I have no idea what's going on here.

I don't understand why it's forced to end. I'm so angry Please make it properly This has happened more than five times already I'm so angry.

It is difficult to understand what you're trying to complain about. If it is a technical issue with steam game cloud synching, that is something that the development team recently said they're trying to fix.

If your issue is something else, try to explain things in a different way.

Can you explain the problem in more detail?
