If you have lost your save, don’t panic, there should be a daily backup of your saves in a folder that Steam Cloud can't get to and delete (which is how so many people seem to lose their saves).

Here we’re going to walk you through restoring your save.

TL;DR for experienced users: Backups are created as zip files in the “save” folder. To restore a backup, you must turn off Steam Cloud temporarily, and then you can extract one of the backup zips directly into the “save” folder.

Detailed step-by-step guide:

First, quit the game and turn off Steam Cloud for Dead Cells.
This is necessary so that you can restore your save files. In your Steam library, right-click on Dead Cells, click Properties, and in General you uncheck “Keep games in the Steam Cloud for Dead Cells”.


Open the game’s local files.
In your Steam library, right-click on Dead Cells, click Properties, click Local Files, then “Browse Local Files”.

Go into the “save” folder.
In it, there’s a series of files named “backup”. Those are the ones that we need. More on those in a minute.
You might also see a bunch of “user” files – those are your local save files. We’re going to replace them, so keep a copy of them somewhere else just to be safe!
If you’re not seeing any files named “user”, no problem, that just means you’ve only ever used Steam Cloud, so your games had never been saved locally.

In the “save” folder, pick the backup file you want.

In the save folder, you will find a series of zip files named “backup” plus a date code, such as “backup-2019-12-04-1.zip”. Try to remember the most recent date when your saves were still OK, then pick the corresponding zip file.

Unzip the backup file directly into the “save” folder.
Right-click on the appropriate backup, click “Extract All”. In the window that opens up, make sure the path ends with “save” (if it doesn’t, you can delete the end of the path).

Then click “Extract”. If Windows says that there’s already a file named “user_0.dat” (for example), pick “Replace”.

Start the game and check your saves.
If the game asks you if you want to use Steam Cloud, it’s important to say no for now – we want to force the game to use the save files you have extracted locally.
Then, look at your saves, make sure they’re the ones you expected. If they’re not the ones you want, go back to step 4 and try another backup.

When you’re satisfied, you can turn on Steam Cloud again if you wish.
If the game asks you whether you want to transfer your local saves to Steam Cloud, it should be safe to say yes.

假如你的存档丢失了，请不要惊慌，在你硬盘的一个文件夹中应该还会有对你存档的每日备份，并且是Steam云存档无法读取和删除的（许多人的存档应该就是因为云存档而丢失）。

我们将在本篇公告中告知你如何一步步恢复你的存档。

有经验的用户可以太长不看：所有存档备份都以zip压缩包的形式保存在“save”文件夹中，要恢复备份，请先暂时关闭Steam云存档功能，然后就能把备份zip中的存档直接解压到“save”文件夹中。

详细的逐步说明：
首先，退出游戏，关闭《死亡细胞》的Steam云存档功能。
为了恢复你的存档这一步是必需的。请在你的Steam游戏库中右键点击Dead Cells，选择“属性”，然后取消勾选“通用”页面中的“将Dead Cells的游戏存档保存于Steam云”。


打开游戏的本地文件

在你的Steam游戏库中右键点击Dead Cells，选择“属性”，点击“本地文件”然后选择“浏览……”


进入“save”文件夹。
在这个文件夹中，应该有一系列名为“backup”的文件，这些就是我们所需要的文件，详细方法我们马上就介绍。
你同时还会看见几个“user”开头的文件——这些就是你的本地存档文件。我们接下来就要替换它们，所以以防万一，你可以把它们复制到其他的地方去备份一下！
如果你没有看到任何“user”开头的文件，那也没有问题，这意味着你从来都只使用过Steam云存档，所以你的游戏没有任何本地存档。

在“save”文件中，选择你想要的备份文件。

在“save”文件夹中，你会找到一系列文件名是“backup”开头然后加上一串日期的zip文件，例如“backup-2019-12-04-1.zip”。请试图回忆起你的存档还完好的最近的日期，然后选择相应的zip文件。

将备份文件直接解压到“save”文件夹。
右键点击相应的backup文件，选择“全部解压缩……”在新出现的窗口中，请确保提取的文件夹末尾是 “save”（如果不是，请删除save之后的部分）。


然后点击“提取”。如果Windows提示说已经存在 “user_0.dat”文件（举例来说），点击“替换目标中的文件”。

启动游戏，检查你的存档。
如果游戏询问你是否想要使用Steam云存档，请务必在现在选择“否”——我们要做的是强制游戏使用你刚刚提取出来的本地存档文件。
然后，请看一看你的存档，确保它们确实是你想要的状态。如果不是，你可能需要重返第4步、试着选择一个不同的备份文件来解压。

当你对存档满意之后，你可以再次选择是否开启Steam云存档功能。
如果游戏提问你是否想要将你的本地存档传送到Steam云存档，选择你可以安全地选择“是”。
