Save File Corruption

Extremely rare, I've only had 4 or 5 reports. I'm not sure if this is something to do with the game, or related to Steam Cloud. The corrupted files tend to be a large empty byte array, about 20kb.

I recently had this issue, it may have something to do with saving in the secret "satellite" room in 1a. Same symptoms as described, the entire file was overridden with ~22kb of 0 bytes - and interestingly enough, so was the backup.

EDIT: Was able to recover last working save file with Recuva. File had trailing null bytes, this could be related?

recently happened here. i'm happy to attach the save if needed, but it seems you already have an idea what it would look like.

happened after not touching the game for a few weeks. before the last major update with chap 9 so i don't think anything to do with that. it was mid way through chap 8.

Got the same issue some days ago, started playing with the OpenGL 1.4.0.0 version. Finished playing Chapter 5 and when I've returned the next day the save file was corrupted. Quick look with an hex editor showed 19KB of zeroes both on the save file and in the backup. Unfortunately I got no luck recovering them with Recuva, even with deep scan. Might check with other program later.
