You are a legend. I recently had to factory reset my pc & all my data was wiped. 3 years of game saves I was devastated but the bulk of the saves were in the cloud. Thanks for the video

[AP-aal]

THANK YOU! Haven't played in months loaded the game and was told there was no save data. Thankfully able to retrieve my 300+ hour save from the cloud.

Dude I accidentaly deleted my save file and I've been searching for three hours to find the solution, and your video tutorial was the one that saved me from a really depressing day hahaha, thanks so

[postathehun]

Wow, it's really good. Lost two hours of progress but at least I have my save back after me accidently overwriting it.

Man, i wanted to thank you so much! I used to play Dead Cells but someday my PC crashed while playing, and then when i restart my pc and started the game, i opened the save box and i saw nothing! My save file was gone but now with your help i got my files all ready! Thanks again man, have a nice day!

I’m so stupid... I wasn’t connected to the wifi

Bro I fucking love you so much. Was playing Lies of P and was practicing fighting Laxasia and accidentally defeated her before I wanted to. Followed you instructions and I am by her boss door one again. You saved my gameplay.

Thank you my dude! I’ve almost lost a playthrough on the game I’ve been grinding 😊

[Zynachinoo]

Dude thank you so much you’re literally a life saver. I don’t do this often but I’m subscribing this is amazing

[Unacquired]

Thank you so much. I was 20 hours in on Hollow Night on my steam deck, and then the save didn't sync. Now it's back! You're the best!

[CoDinksYT]

Unfortunately for me, the game I played decided to corrupted my entire save and delete it and replace my save in the cloud with the new one and there is no way of recovering.

THANK YOU!! Nearly lost my 200+ hour Dragon Ball FighterZ save and I did not want to sit through that story mode again

[DesmondTTV]

I love you. This saved my BG3 playthrough. I went through so many guides and your one is the only one that made damn sense

[lyndonm]

That was the best tech video I have seen. Saved me, I was really worried I lost everything

[alextheshrimp.]

this is exactly the video I needed, but sadly i closed my game before watching this. R.I.P my 57 hours

[hawke]

why does this have to be so hidden lmfao... thanks you saved me so much time

[Torbmorb]

I started the game before! I just lost more than 700 hours!!

[eroplaneeee]

after Locallow path at 2:08, I don't understand it at all, where and how to find the local save files

[setoredan]

Thank you so very much. This put me on the right steps to restoring a game that had been played since April. So many hours. I had killed the sync before I closed my game out so my save files were left untouched. Just had to download them, rename them put them into the local save and YAY! Thank you
