Steam Cloud Saves? Please help!

[mrjordann]

Hey everyone!

Here's the rundown: My Fallout 4 game basically, for some reason... deleted a ton of old saves. How can I restore save files that were somehow randomly deleted? Is it stored on the Steam cloud? I appreciate any help I can get, thank you for your time.

 

If you're a Fallout player and want to know what happened, read this if you want:

I chose to go with the Brotherhood at the Mass Fusion mission, and now I regret that. I played the game last night, and all of my saves were there. No problem. But today, I decided to go back and choose the Institute. I figured... it's only a couple of hours that I'd lose, so it's worth it. I'll reload from a save and go with the Institute. When I got on my PC today, all of my saves were gone, from 1 day and 3 hours, to 2 and a half days. Every save from 1 day in and before, it's all there. Every recent save from 2 days and up, it's also there. But in between, when I chose the faction, it's all gone. Why did this happen? How can I restore it? Is it saved on the Steam cloud? Thanks for reading, I'd appreciate any help.

If you have cloud save on (which is probably a must), go to steam userdata to search for your save games there I think

It's on your steam installation folder (not steam library)

thanks... still really confused. It's not on my harddrive where my games are stores, or in documents on my SSD.
