OK, I guess I can just merge my thread about Ironsaves lost--not showing up completely-- into this one. And, yes, I see my Ironman Moscovy file in the savegames part of my Steam files.





I will just put my post from that thread into here.



Ironman Save disappeared







This has happened to me twice:



Start as Moscovy, ironman mode. That is the only country I have played. No mods. No DLCs



At some point, I have played enough for the day, hit "Esc" and save--even though the game should be auto-saved in the Cloud.



Come back a few hours later, or the next day, and there is --no-- save in the cloud. Completely blank. (Nothing, of course, in "local" either.)



The first time, I ignored it and started over--I had a better starting plan which I wanted to do anyway.



But this second time, I really liked my start, and am unhappy to lose the save. Maybe I will just stay off of Ironman, but I like the excitement of not having lots of old saves (more important to me than the Achievements)--teaches discipline when making choices.



[Note, it is not that I have never been able to do an Ironman save. I have had previous Ironman games that I had deleted. It only recently seems to be a problem--again, no save seen at all]



I have put in a ticket with Steam, but maybe I am overlooking something obvious.



(As to the advice to move all my wanted saves to someplace--from other games on Steam?--delete Steam, and do a fresh install. That is above my technical expertise. I will just drop Ironman rather than, likely, causing an even larger mess for myself) [Edit: And, now I see that someone else has tried that, and it did not work]
