Hi

I only started playing recently but all of my saved games have suddenly vanished. It’s like they never were! When I hover over Resume it shows the last time I was playing (yesterday) but says it can’t play the save as the file is corrupted. I tried via Load Game. Show incompatible saves doesn’t make them reappear either.
Playing on Mac Big Sur but off an external hard drive.
I don’t see the save files anywhere when I look manually on my computer or the drive. I have successfully loaded save files before so it’s a new problem that’s just happened. I’m also always careful to eject the external properly to avoid corrupting files.
how could this have happened?
 
Okay I figured out what happened. The files weren’t saved in my normal documents folder but in documents folder on iCloud. So I guess it wasn’t able to access iCloud for some reason. Trying to figure out how to tell it to save elsewhere but not having any luck. So I’ve removed my documents folder from iCloud and now my saved are back
