I lost days of play time to a stream cloud sync error (lemmy.ca)

I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4 over the holidays. I started and finished the Nuka World DLC (killed all the baddies), made it to level 90, etc.

Today I was playing on my Deck as the battery got a little low (11%) so I saved my game, exited the game, and went to shut down.

As it was shutting down, the Deck displayed a message, something like "Syncing to Steam Cloud" as the logo was spinning.

A few hours later, on a full charge, I booted it back up, started Fallout 4 again and... some of my old saves are there, but only about 30% of them, and critically not the most recent ones.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is this a known issue? Can I fix it, or report it? I've basically lost interest in finishing the game now.

I had something similar happen with playing Brotato on my Deck and PC, at some point there was a Steam Cloud error and my entire save got wiped. It's frustrating since you can't do anything after it has synced with all your devices. Steam Cloud is synced with your current saves and you can't go back in time to change it unless you still have access to the files.

So if you have a pc that has the game installed I'd boot the pc up without starting Steam and see if your save games are still there and copy them some place safe. Then let steam sync and move back the savegames and launch the game.

Yeah that would have been my go-to, but I've been playing on my Deck almost exclusively for about a month now so... no games on the desktop :-(

In the end, I decided to just open up the console in Fallout 4, input a few cheat codes and get (most of) the stuff I lost. I guess I'm mostly wondering if I should report this as a bug or something.
