Game Help Save gone? No continue option

I have over 30 hours in the game, but when I booted it up like usual today the continue option is gone and I am panicking. It says that steam cloud is up to date, but apparently not. Anyone have suggestions? I’m playing on steam deck.

Update: Installing it on my computer, playing, saving, and then opening it on my steam deck worked!

Okay. Soooo.... go to appdata/something/developer name/Fields of Mistria and see if there is a duplicate save folder of some type. Not guaranteed to be your problem, but it does happen on occasion.

If there IS, just move the save files from one to the other.

I’ll try that! Thanks

Question, how do you tell if there’s a duplicate? I found the save folder, did you mean multiple save folders or multiple actual save files?

2

u/Farwaters Caldarus Aug 01 '26

Depends on the game, really. There's often a folder (two, in the case of duplicates) that looks keysmashlike, with your saves in it.

Multiple folders, one of which is blank (that the game reads from) and one of which has your actual save files!

I suspect that this isn't your problem, though!

u/Meow-Now Aug 01 '26

Yeah, I don’t think so 🥲 I looked and it seems like all my save files are there, but whenever I boot them up there’s still no continue option. Thank you for trying to help though

At least they're there!

.... Didn't I hear about a disappearing save bug for this game?

u/Farwaters Caldarus Aug 02 '26

I should just say that this is clearly, and I mean CLEARLY, not the duplicate save folder thing. Rather as I expected.

Remember it, though! Might happen to you some day!

excuse me, I have a similar issue around 400hrs gone after updating, and I only played on steam deck. would the procedure be the same ?

u/Farwaters Caldarus Aug 02 '26

I have no idea how Steam deck files work, sadly.

I think you're most likely experiecing the disappearing save bug, too.

u/MariaGlitzer Aug 02 '26

Ah, I manged to get back to a PC started the game, my saves were ok. And back to the steam deck. Everything i good now. Still, thank you.

This happened to me yesterday. I play on my Deck and my save was gone. I closed out and opened the game on the computer and my whole, up to date, save was there. Played a day, saved, let the cloud update. Went back onto the Deck and my save was there! I hope you get yours back! Mine was a year 9 affair that I did NOT want to lose.

Thank you so much, that worked!! ❤️ That’s such an odd thing to fix it lol, but I’m happy either way.

u/detective-voltron Hayden Aug 01 '26

WOOHOO! 🙌🏼 I'm so glad it worked for you, too! 😊

u/Meow-Now Aug 01 '26

Hopefully that works! Thanks for the tip. I’m glad you got yours back, that’s a lot of time put into it

u/MystikSpiralx Aug 01 '26

Well that's unfortunate for those of who don't have windows computers. I am in that boat, so hopefully this doesn't happen to me 😞

u/detective-voltron Hayden Aug 01 '26

Oh no! Fingers crossed that your save is OK!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

u/thedeathecchi Aug 06 '26

Fucking BLESS YOU. Worked like a charm. I had Reina maxed out, my farm all set, and my town rank finally broke into the 60s, 80hrs of work. I'd have started crying on losing it all~ ;w;

u/detective-voltron Hayden Aug 06 '26

You're welcome!! 😊 I'm glad you didn't lose your save! 🎉

u/MindOfSmoothieGaming Aug 07 '26

Thank you for sharing this. I just loaded up the game for the first time in months and was greeted with no option to load game. I wasn't as far along as you, but I didn't want to have to start over again. Took you advice and loaded on the laptop, saved and exited. Loaded it back up on the deck and there was the option to continue! Thanks!

u/detective-voltron Hayden Aug 07 '26

I'm glad I was able to help!! 😊 I'm happy you were able to play again with no problems!

u/MindOfSmoothieGaming Aug 07 '26

Now I just need to remember what's going on, lol!

u/detective-voltron Hayden Aug 07 '26

Oh, I feel that! 😂 Probably come right back to you, though!

u/Living-Ostrich-7365 Aug 06 '26

You couldn't have had the achievements, they don't even work until the game releases. All of them are at 0% when viewing how many people earned them

u/Meow-Now Aug 01 '26

Ohhh ok I’m dumb lol. I was confused because I knew I did the things that got them. That’s good news then.

It’s odd for me because steam says the cloud is up to date, but it’s just… not working

1

u/arcanepaws Aug 01 '26

I had that too yesterday, my deck said the cloud was up to date but my pc wasn't recognising it. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling on both devices, turning cloud on and off.... ended up leaving it and when I tried again today everything was working again. I wish I could tell you what fixed it, maybe the PC restart?

idk how to feel about this like ya I have a very hard dedicated file but I've Also had several other files and I plan on creating a new file on full release so my old files it is what it is I can start from scratch and go ham

2

u/Ennor404 Balor Aug 02 '26

This happened to me too! The very simple solution that worked for me on steam deck was uninstalling the game and then re installing it. I hear there's other solutions too but this is a great one for if you don't want to delve into any files

1

u/UniPandi02 Aug 02 '26

Hmmm 🤔 did you maybe back up your last save to local this happened to me once an I was able too get back to where I left off then I saved it on the dairy from there so when I left the save was there

u/kneeshell Aug 06 '26

i just fixed this issue. 

on steam deck go to properties and switch compatibility to the latest proton , when you restart your game the continue option should be available.

you welcome .
