I started it as a multiplayer server on my hotspot. It loaded a save from months ago, from when i last connected using my hotspot. Steam cloud was enabled. I backed out and reloaded the server 2 times, which overwrote what i had on the cloud. This save game is where i left off on this PC, i made progress on another PC. My only hope is retrieving my local save data from it. I loaded this save (not the months old one) days ago on this PC, which was the present save. Where did steam cloud go wrong?
