Hi.

I have a problem with game saves.

I have been playing as a corp for many hours. Then I have created a new game as punk. Played as punk for few hours ( 10+/-). One day later I've loaded the game as corp ( the saves were still visible). When I turned the game once again all the saves as punk disappeared. The only saves I can see are the corp ones.

What can I do?

Assuming you are on PC, open save folder:
"C:\Users\[PC_user_name]\Saved Games\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077"
and see what is there.

You will see them named "ManualSave" with incremental numbers and ordered by creation date.
Now check if numbering is continued and date order is followed.

If some numbers are missing - that may indicate deleted save. If you are sharing PC you may want to ask other users about this possible "incident".

If date order is not in line with save numbers - that indicate that at some point old save could be overwritten by new ones.

Either way, if you do not have a backup, only way to retrieve old saves would be by use of some kind of file un-delete program and see if that help.

*) aside from manual saves there are also quick saves and auto saves which you may want to check. There are also pre-final mission and endgame saves, but that is perhaps irrelevant here.

If there weren't any manual saves, the new game might have progressively overridden every autosave slot. If that's the case undeletion software might not help. It could otherwise be that you logged in as a separate user. Doubtful.

Both autosave and manual saves are missing. I have been playing at the 26-28th of December as a Punk. I can see autosave and manual saves when playing as Corp ( 10.12.2020-26.12.2020 and later 29.12.2020 ). There are all save missing as a Punk ( autosave and manual saves from 26.12.2020 - 28.12.2020 ). They were visible on 29th but they disappeared after launching the game.

There are no third person to delete them manually.

Is there a possibility they got deleted on GOG's Cloud?

Well, cloud saves for CP2077 are showing this heavy load message, so it is possible that some de-sync could occur. But as far as I remember cloud save should not delete any local files automatically.
Unfortunately I can't help on this as I disabled cloud saves for CP2077. Perhaps GOG Galaxy support can shad more light on this issue.


I'm also not aware of any build-in function to automatically clean up save folder... Wait, I read that there is a mod to manage saves for different characters. Are you sure you did not install any mod that could interfere with saves?

I was having all kinds of save issues with cloud storage.
I completely disabled it and have not had an issue since.

May as well be Steam the way Galaxy works

Game is broken beyond compare, too, it's not just Galaxy, heh.

My saves just disappeared.

Playing as a Korp till level 40?

Started a new game with Punk till level 12~

Loaded the game as Korp

All saves playing as a Punk just got deleted/overwritten or whatever else.

That sucks.

Saves are not deleted. Game just dont display them sometime when you go in load menu. Trick is to try multiple times until they show up again.
