PSA: Save issues

Hello heisters.

While we're not currently aware of any ongoing issues related to saves, it's still a good idea to make a habit of keeping save backups. As PAYDAY 2 runs locally, we are not able to restore any lost progress if you are to lose your saves, so keep them safe!
If you want help with how to create a manual save backup, check out this Steam guide: https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2384017109

Keep those helmets flying!

Return to the game recently, but all my progress is missing

Haven't played this game since 2018, recently heard PD3 is coming, so I redownload this game to see how is the game now. But I found my level become lvl 0, and my infamy level return to none, all my 200hrs+ progress is missing, luckily the achievement system seems to be still working, and the masks i used to unlock are still there.
Is that OVK's update made my cloud save broken or something?

Progress corrupt.

Upon startup of the game just now, Payday suddenly told me that my progress could not be loaded. I clicked on 'try again.' Then it said 'progress corrupt. Data will now be deleted.' And now my 1900 hours are gone. What the hell?

I know a friend with the same prolem and at least one of him with also largee number of hours. He did not back up, but had a laptop where he played 2 months ago. Did not save everything but this happening with thousands of hours (6.8 in his case) could be heartbreaking.

Hope this issue gets fixed before more people get that feeling.

Also I am happy you got your backup :D

My corrupted savedata seems a little bit different, I didn't get any error code and my game not even crashed once, just downloaded the game, launch, and progress is already gone.

If I use the save file with all my progress it crashes (because it's corrupted):
"Application has crashed: C++ exception
[string "lib/managers/savefilemanager.lua"]:1532: attempt to index local 'cache' (a nil value)"

Anything else, even following the guide, leads me to start the game from scratch.
