Yesterday couldn't save files because file was "too big". Downloaded the new patch today and it ERASED my last 20 saves. Lost at least 8 hours of game time. WTF?

OMG, dude. That's lame. That's what we get for buying a game at launch or pre-ordering it, I guess 
We will look into this ASAP. Your saves might not be gone, they may just fail to load properly. What system language and location are you using (pm me if you do not want to say it here)?
So now we have multiple threads on the exact same issue......think that will get them to fix it sooner? Been 4 days with that problem that they were blaming n the cloud....saw the comments today on a patch, rushed home thinking they fixed it......nope, no fix, no update to the post....can't play the game......why couldn't they have gotten team that ported D:OS to d this....oops
Pretty ridiculous that this whole problem came about because they wouldn't allow local saves to the XBOX
Not kidding, if this isn't fixed I'm never touching their products again. Just nuts.
I think per Daelus' post in the other thread, my saves were actually deleted because it overwrite them but couldn't save over them because "file size was too large". Is there a fix here or not?
We are actively working on getting a patch out ASAP. Maybe I have been unclear, but the reason for getting too big save files is our fault not the cloud's. Patching can sometimes take time unfortunately, but moving forward I think we will be faster with it. Hang in there!
Unfortunately if they were overwritten there is no way to get them back. But I can not see how they would be overwritten unless explicitly selected to be (except for auto saves possibly). We have a possible fix in the works at the moment for save file too large. It needs to be properly tested with a reproduction case, which is taking some time to do. If all goes well the hot-fix should be available soon.
Very simple - every time I attempted a save, they were deleted but not replaced by the new save. So there's no way to get them back?
No, you will unfortunately not get them back if you chose to overwrite them (even if the save failed). But saving a new one should work just fine after the too large save bug is fixed.
