    Recovering Lost Saves? (Lost 6 hours)

    Hi everyone,

    This is my first time really ever going to any kind of help forum, but I am in dire need of your help if it's even possible to fix. I am loving FC5 so far, but unfortunately I seem to have lost about 6 hours of progress.

    At the end of my last session yesterday my game crashed unexpectedly. I don't remember exactly what it was I was doing at the time of the crash, since it was late, but I just shut off my PC and went to bed since it was late, thinking it had autosaved shortly before.

    Now I am not even sure autosaves are a thing because when I booted up the game today I found myself where I had last manually saved at the end of the session before that! About 6 hours behind! I had just finished Holland Valley's main quests when it had crashed. Now I have to redo almost all of them!

    I was prompted on my desktop when I went to bootup the game saying something like "Your local files and cloud files saves do not sync up. Please select one." I selected cloud.
    When I went into the game I was 6 hours back, and now I am incredibly bummed out and not feeling any desire to play the game any further for the time being.

    I looked up another forum post about that prompt and it said to check my saves, but I only found the saves for that prior session and nothing during those 6 hours I lost.

    Please, if anyone knows how I can get my save at least somewhat back, so I don't have to redo most of Holland Valley, that would be great.

    Thank you.

    I copy the current saved gamed folder to another drive from time to time, so I have back ups for many past play sessions.
