[QUOTE="zmcvay, post: 228826, member: 4746"] *wince* Ouch. Yeah, after a bad experience, I don't trust any cloud saves to come through for me anymore in a pinch. Sounds like what might have happened is the cloud save didn't install properly on the new computer, but when you played it there it overwrote the cloud data with the new install data and transferred that to your old computer when you booted it up. Unfortunately it may be gone for good. I've found no way to reclaim old cloud saves from steam, as far as I know they're gone for good once overwritten unless support can help you. For the future, your local high scores and goal data can be found under C:\Users\(Your Username)\My Games\Pinball Arcade It's a good idea to manually back that folder up periodically. Only silver lining I can give you is that I had to redo all my goal progress myself this last summer when I moved from PS4 to PC as my main platform, and though I was bummed out to lose a years worth of progress, it actually gave me an opportunity to rediscover some tables that I hadn't played in awhile. Also found it was much easier to get a goal the second time around, took me only two months of playing to get to where it had taken me a year to reach before. So don't get too upset, really the only downside is you have an excuse to play more pinball! [/QUOTE]
