My save game went back in years, how do I fix it (Ironman)?

[Scyobi_Empire]

So I have an Ironman save and I went to load it. I notice my 5 fleets are now 2 and look at the year.

Today.

I somehow went back in years. Please tell me there is a way to fix this....

I cannot account for that. Not can I understand how you have a cloud and a local save of the same Ironman campaign.

Is there some backstory here?

FYI cloud saves are visible here:

Local saves are kept here:

I made a bug report about the 2 saves thing, https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/stellaris-2-ironman-saves.1481233/, and I believe when I clicked load game it must've loaded the old one. Is this not normal, having a local and cloud Ironman save?

Not for the same campaign, no - whatever the game save setting is at, it saves there for the whole campaign.

Unless you started a new one with the same name, something like that?

Odd, I just changed the autosave to cloud setting.
Some people duplicate their Ironman Saves as a backup, looks like I should've done that.

Yes, I'd definitely recommend that for the future!

Very sorry this happened to you, whatever the cause.
