Shit you right Ill try it next time too and update

Again... better to try "Check Files Integrity" who does the same thing but doesn't use so much time and who doesn't need a great connection....

How can you not understand that...

It worked for me. Simple restart of both the pc and game did not. Worked for me might work for someone else. Better to try something than nothing?

I read and understand what you said, but, again, "it's not a fix" and "it must be something else" that fix the save.

It's maybe hard for you to understand that, but uninstall and reinstall the game will change nothing to the save, nothing at all, the simple reason is because "it doesn't work like this!"

I will give you a real life example.
If the game is your car and the save is the battery.
If the car doesn't start because of some battery issue, and then you sell the car but keep the battery, and then buy the same car, same model etc, and plug again the battery.
The battery still have issue...and it will remain.

What you did is the same has a "check integrity" about the game files with steam, and the only thing who was possible is a corrupted files in the game directory, for whatever reason, it can happen.
But removing the game isn't neccessary, not at all.

Grammar and punctuation aint my strong suit.

I didnt have any mods at all default game it was an issue with saving with multiple players. We just got stuck in a saving cycle and a save and closed caused the game to corrupt. Its a simple guide and attempt at a fix.

The game isnt very large as far as games go. Yes it would take some time however the time which was put into the save file could potentially be saved which the hour or two which it could take some people would be worth it.

If Uninstall → Reinstall the game solve any issues it's most of the time because something has be done badly from the user side, like modding who is the 1st reason who came in my mind, or the usage of a third party software or tool who can affect the game and/or your save.

Uninstall and reinstall the game will not fix the issue... if there is one, because it was juste some random boot issue who can solve itself after a restart of the game or the computer.

By the way, the Save files from the cloud or from the game aren't in the Game directory, and Cloud and normal Save files aren't Deleted when you uninstall the game with Steam or in the windows programs tab.

If you just want to refresh your save with the one from the cloud, there is far easier way to do this and quicker.

Just saying, because Uninstall → Reinstall the game is a very tedious things for some peoples becauses there internet connexion isn't that great.
And before doing this, try at least to check the files with steam, it's easy and quicker than this process (who isn't a real process in fact)
