I was playing fine up until today. No changes made to anything since yesterday, just bam, an error. I loaded the game today and got a database migration error. I followed paradox forums about the issue to the fix from Paradox here: https://support.paradoxplaza.com/hc...-My-launcher-doesn-t-work-my-game-wont-start-

I followed those steps and it fixed the startup error. Except now I can't load my game(s), the only ones that exist in the save folder are extremely old save files....not sure what is going on.

Anyone know how to access my save files as of just yesterday? I never touched the save files, I just reinstalled the launcher per the instructions, and my games save to the cloud on steam anyway. They just won't show up in the game.

Nothing the launcher does touches the saves, so I don't see why that happened to you. The missing save files are physically not present in the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/save games/ folder?

If cloud saves, are they visible here?
