So on one of the rare occassions that I got the game running (using Debian Wheezy), I played on for a while, periodically saving manually, overwriting the previous save and checking the "Steam Cloud" box.
Finally, when I was done for the moment, I saved the game once more and left; later, when I returned to pick up where I left, I couldn't: the "Load Game" button is disabled, presumably because this used to be my only save game which is now gone.
I'd really appreciate any help.
EDIT: Tried saving a game without ticking the "Steam Cloud" box. This time around it seems to have worked, so for the time being, I'll use that as a workaround.
(Somewhat OT: I'm getting more and more frustrated with the technical issues. I've really been looking forward to playing for quite a while now and now that it's out, I can only play on my notebook's Debian Wheezy system (even though it's not working reliable at all and has a few issues like this one) much rather than my desktop computer running Xubuntu 14.04 and otherwise exceeding the recommended requirements. I do appreciate the effort to make this game available on Linux very much, but I'd expected a much more well-tested game than this. I'll not go as far as to call this launch as bad as that of Sim City turned out to be, but there is a core similarity: as much as Sim City wasn't playable for people when it was launched, Cities: Skylines isn't playable for me at the time of the launch and I'm not seeing any evidence of the developers trying to fix it.)

). I know it is hard work and yes you are allowed to take a break and eat pizza and wine but don't call it a successful start while the bugs/report forums and steamforums are filling with tickets/support request. I would not have been mad if you canceled linux support and or delayed it for a couple of weeks to make it stable but to be honest, most of the wine emulated games are running better than this.
