After a major update, always prioritize your &#8220;Local File&#8221; (assuming it was the last good state you played). If you are unsure, choose neither: perform a manual backup of your current local folder first (Method 1), then decide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.1rem; color: #e5e7eb; margin-bottom: 10px;\">Q: I forgot to backup and the update corrupted my save. Can I fix it?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #9ca3af; margin: 0;\">A: If you had no manual backups and were not running XMODhub, the situation is grim. If Steam Cloud also synced the corrupted state, recovery is likely impossible. This scenario is exactly why we stress taking action before the disaster.
