Additional Information​

As I mentioned above, I have tried all steps outlined in the "our tips to fix" since this seems to be a known bug. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled, then RE tried those steps, and nothing yields improvement.
I am willing to delete my Steam cloud saves to try that, but in your final steps of -



"3. “Recover your Steam Cloud, as the broken files might be stored there” Issue.
This is very unlikely, so please try everything above first.

Go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=949230 while logged into the same account used to play CSII with

Download all the files that the user wants to preserve to a safe location outside of the game user folder. Like C:\\SteamCloudBackup or just their Downloads folder if they are not too precious saves.

Reset the Steam Cloud; this may, unfortunately, reset some achievement progress tracking. Additionally, Paradox login and friends of Chirper entitlements will be reset if owned. It will be necessary to log in to the Paradox account again to re-unlock them.

Start the game with the command line toggles --developerMode --qaDeveloperMode (game properties>General>launch options)

In the main menu, press Tab and navigate to Platforms.

Expand Remote storages and press Wipe data under the Steamworks entry (this will irreversibly delete all the content on the Steam Cloud, so make sure to have downloaded the things you want to backup).

Remove the launch options from properties, or at least --qaDeveloperMode as it exposes some dangerous operation that can wipe data unnecessarily.

Restart the game, and confirm the game works locally."



- I am unable to find what you are talking about by pressing tab to navigate to platforms. I have added the command line toggles to as written, but nothing different happens

Please advise
