[QUOTE="Xanija, post: 249604, member: 2707"] The problem is: Once you launch the game, Steam will check your local save file against the one saved in the cloud. If the local file is older, it will automatically replaced by the cloud file. If for some reason the local file was once new created by TPA, it was copied to the cloud. Older save files will now continuously overwritten by the file from the cloud. Big question: Do you have any backup of your save games? If not, you're screwed. If yes, you will need to convince Steam cloud that your local save file is more current than the save file in the cloud. It's possible, but a bit tricky. Check out this thread: [url]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/7686-How-to-retain-local-scores-and-goals-after-Windows-reinstall[/url] The mentioned steam forum guide should help you. Of course you need to do it a bit differently, as you don't want to delete the cloud file, but you want to replace it. If you have problems, please let me know. I was able to recover my data after a user profile change with this. I'm sure I can help you with it. You will need to know the SteamID for TPA. This is 238260 [/QUOTE]
