Having trouble saving progress

Hey so I got GDT on the steam sale and first of all, I just love it!

Somewhere in between year 20-35, I created a great game engine and two major hits. By the “end” of the game, (I should say story), I had ~300million dollars, a great engine, great games, and 3 employees + myself. I was in the third office, too. Now that may not seem like a lot of progress to people that have been playing for awhile, but it was a lot to me.

Now, the last two times I had played the game, which is when all my major success happened, I had to play in offline mode on Steam due to Steam being down or maybe my Wifi. I didn’t think anything of it, since it’s a singleplayer game. I had even saved a few times and checked that the save file was there when I would hit “Load” and it was there every time.

Skip to a day later, I jump on steam and everything seems to be working ok, I’m in online mode. I open GDT, and my latest save was now Y20 and I was down to the second office, 1 employee + myself, a lot less money, and all my research + releases gone. I even checked it by playing it in offline mode again for some reason. All gone. I mean I can always just do the same things I did, but I don’t want this happening every time. So I figured I’d post here to let the devs know and if anyone else had this problem could chime in.

You probably saved it in offline mode, but when you went into online mode again it got overriden by Steam Cloud.

Oh ok, so if I play a game in offline mode and save it there, I have to play it in offline mode every time after that?

You can turn off steam cloud.
