If it's only saved in the cloud, it can disappear at any time. Doesn't matter which cloud.

Steam sucks ass

Stopped playing for a few months after this happened the first time... Then I gave up forever when it happened again

So? Just use your local save instead

I wish there was a mobile version of this game cuz it's a lot of fun but when I'm at home there are better games on my PC. love it on phone
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
thats how i feel with Slay the Spire. love it, but it feels silly using my proper gaming PC for it when it would run fine on my tablet.

Create a support ticket. They might be able to retreive it.

No backup save here ? : \userdata\\262060\remote

That's why I never trust a cloud as a backup.

RandyRandalman
After having this happen to me on countless elder scrolls and other games I got into the habit of manually copying save files myself.
RandyRandalman
Both for cloud errors and just general corruption issues.
EchoOfSnac
I automatically do it with a program which syncs my laptop and desktop.
RandyRandalman
Steam cloud is far too unreliable for my tastes. That's a nice way to do it.

The voice narrator is iconic but not pleasant. Like, I’d hire him to narrate someone’s life, but I hate them and he has to be condescending.

Cloud systems should be used for multiple devices not for long term storage, you never go without a physical copy on some device.

Not a big Redditor but the DD sub is great, they have a "ask questions and get pro answers" thread that is wiped for space every so often
elmerssoul
Try to kill enemies in the backline first and stun is your friend.
QuickFrog
If you’re not wanting to take the time to lose repeatedly I’d highly recommend looking at guides of each area. The characters you bring to
QuickFrog
Each area of the game is extremely important as the enemies are resistant to different stuff and thus are nearly immune to some characte 2/?
QuickFrog
So bleed characters are great for the left and bottom place. Blight for top and right(cove and ruins). Would also recommend looking at 3/?
QuickFrog
Curio guides. There’s some in the steam overlay. Don’t just click everything you walk by. Most of the stuff you can skip over as the risk 4/
QuickFrog
Isn’t worth the reward. Which is what the game is all about, controlling the odds. Highly recommend having multiple vestals. She is by far 5
Chaimgoldbergenstein
Contrary to what that other guy said; you need to learn NOT to skimp on supplies. Learn what supply items interact with what curios, and 1/
Chaimgoldbergenstein
you'll rake in some fat loot. For example, always bring holy water to the ruins because there's a lot of synergy between ruin curios and 2/
Chaimgoldbergenstein
holy water. Bring herbs to the cove, bandages to the warrens, and so on. Also, get an antiquarian and use her to interact with curios. 3/
Chaimgoldbergenstein
She gets bonus valuable loot for doing the interaction. Beyond that, the game is really just learning what enemies are vulnerable to 4/
Chaimgoldbergenstein
what attacks; for example, don't bother using bleed attacks in the ruin. You can't make a skeleton bleed (unless you REALLY try to). 5/5
Seggs
the best hint i ever got in that game is: "as soon as you view your heroes as a material resource and not as people with feelings, 1/2
Seggs
then you can start playing DD like it's mean to be played" 2/2
cakeisprettygood
healer + 3 damage, get food and torches, ya done for the early game
PMMeAnimeThighs
I prefer healer + support/dot + dps + tank for late game. Vestal/Jester/Highwayman/Man at Arms has pretty crazy dps and good sustain
cakeisprettygood
Crusader can heal, crusader has all the dot you need, Damage over Turns, crusader has dps, crusader is tank, deus vult

Die and learn. My tip.
Azukare
Thats just "Git Gud" with better choice of words. C'mon. Prove to me this game is playable to a enjoyable level.
Valondra
It is. Clearly. A lot of people do it. If you cannot, your expectations for the game or your estimation of your skill is skewed.
LoopStricken
You've already said that you 'love' the game.
Jinxer13
Die n learn isn't that bad of an advice. The elaboration on that would be like this: Don't be afraid to lose chars you leveled, try (2)
Jinxer13
different formations in the process to see what works, note the stengths and weknesses of each car depending n dungeon, play the chars
Jinxer13
in all their available positions, try different loadouts of skills and trinkets and die a lot trying to find what works in each case.
kriskras69
If you need someone else to 'prove' to you the game is worth playing.... just say'n.

This is why I don't trust cloud saving
Elrabin
In all my years of using steam, I've NEVER had an issue with cloud saves. I've got hundreds of games.
maninthedarkness
Even the best services have their hiccups. Sometimes because of a malicious outside force.
Roehcai
Same. Still I guess it'll only take one time for me to change my position. But, until then....... we live dangerously!!
Elrabin
I additionally cloud-sync my important documents and savegames using dropbox which gives me version control. But i've never had to use it.

I just started this game, lost my first team and I learned that the stress bar transcends the game

as in like the curse effect in dark souls? or do you mean you in reality are more stressed?
dominiklapierre360
Your character literally have a stress bar, and halfway of it id eather their breaking point, or their "virtuos" moment
dominiklapierre360
When halfway of it, they risk eather a permanent affliction or benifit of a buff. When that gauge is full, they die
PietroAretino
Do not ruminate on this fleeting failure. The campaign is long and victory will come.

https://youtu.be/P7ms_A7mU8U bit of a long watch but had me laughing my ass off
AfroSunset
I think I got slight ptsd from watching that xD
manlytearz
Im only about 3 hours in and yeah, ive learned health barely matters with a healer, dont let stress rise lol
Corbenic
Had a mod that removed stress, it was so easy afterwards it was boring
ColonelCasual
Funny how removing a core mechanic from a game makes the game less fun.
Corbenic
I know, I thought it'd be just like a money cheat or something in the old school rts's you know, cut out the grind. I was wrong
Gorgrim
I stuck with it until the first main boss... then went FTW and quit. My team wasn't bad, just didn't have the exact kind of skills required.
HurtfulThings
FTW means "for the win"... I am guessing you think it means "fuck the world"... it does not
Gorgrim
No, I meant WTF, just switched letters without checking it. But I prefer mahdiiiuukk's idea of full team wipe, as that is what happened
mahdiiiuukk
Full team wipe
Shregy
The stress bar is what makes the game soooo guuut... Sometimes.
everythingwastakenwastaken
Get a jester. I have 3. And recruit more people. If they are low level I and high stress I wouldn’t keeping them and kick them out
superiorninja
Do you get to fix it? If so, how?
MPinky
Sometimes you also need to know when firing someone from your roster is the best thing for you, and for them. (Stress, disease, neg- Quirks)
MothaflippinJames
Bringing a Jester or Houndmaster is never a bad idea

BaronVonJoeJoe
I lost reynault my crusader I started with who was a complete asshole was never virtuous only until the end when the fucker in the first
BaronVonJoeJoe
Level of the dungeon got so stressed he came virtuous. Was the only one to kick ass and died just before the boss died.
BaronVonJoeJoe
Fucking legendary cunt. Pissed me off. He had done so much, but he died like a fucking champ.

Wow that sucks. No HD copy? Tell you a terrible secret though, DD is awfully easy to edit if you're willing to cheat.

Tried contacting support? They usually have backups
Tsumino79
when MHW iceborne broke the saves of people who had not played in ages i remember someone posting a way to get them back
Tsumino79
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage i don't know how to get to that page on the steam client itself but it might have
Tsumino79
something you could use
Tsumino79
alternatively try steam\userdata\(yoursteamID)\(steamIDofgame)\remote see if theres anything there as well

That's why after every session I backup my saves somewhere where steam can't reach em

Is it just me, or does this entirely defeat the point of gaming for fun AND cloud saving?
Nizedk
Cloud and Dropbox/OneDrive sync likes is not backup. It's a thing that syncs errors just as fast.
Mrflabs
Not really it's just a precaution
Alrathra
No and no. You should have 2 different locations of data backup and keeps my hours of gaming investment safe. If you are using cloud
Alrathra
Storage as your only back up or only place of storage, you are not really protecting your data very well.
PutItInMyUsb
Its a normal thing you do when in IT
Alrathra
It's a normal and logical thing EVERYONE should be doing.
TheCoachAdair
It’s just like backing up your hard drive. Makes a lot of sense.
ArtOzz
If you need a hard drive to back up your unreliable cloud saves...then why not start with the hard drive and call it a day?
Alrathra
Because you SHOULD be using two methods of backing up.
ArtOzz
Ah. Two hard drives.
TheCoachAdair
Because what if your hard drive goes bad? ?♂️
