[QUOTE="zmcvay, post: 266394, member: 4746"] Pod, did you have any luck with the restore? You shouldn't need to edit p.dat or anything under /MyGames/Pinball Arcade/, but after you restore your backups to that folder, you *have* to replace and edit remotecache.vdf and pbaprg.dat under Steam/userdata/<Steam ID>/238260. If you didn't back those files up, I was able to make new ones by deleting them and then starting Steam in offline mode after I had restored my old scores. You then have to change the localtime value in remotecache.vdf as described in Xanija's backup guide. If you don't update those two files, then no matter what you replace or edit in /MyGames/Pinball Arcade/, Steam will just overwrite your highscore files with the junk data from the corrupted cloud save again the next time you start TPA. I can verify it works, I replaced my corrupted highscores with my backups 2 days ago and have had no trouble since. If you're still having trouble, please post what files you have backed up, and what you've done to restore them. [/QUOTE]
