One of my saves just vanished XB1

[Gorilla Munch]

Im playing three seperate games and one just vanished. I wasnt trying to load it.  I just noticed that the game save was just gone.

Hey Gorilla Munch, sorry this surfaced for you. Can you share a bit more about what you were doing before you noticed the save was missing? That would help us understand what might have happened.

No stress about losing the save.  I figure anything could happen in alpha.  As for the series of events...I just logged in, started and noticed the save was missing.   Yesterday in a different save game ( not the one that disappeared) i shut off the XB without exiting the game.  I know that is not much to go on.

As an initial step, please try power cycling your console. You can find the instructions here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/power-cycle-console

This has been helpful for some players with this issue. Thanks for your patience and let us know how this works out for you.

Also.... Don't lay your character down to sleep in the game and shut off your Xbox. You MUST wait until your character wakes up, and the saving icon on the right hand side of the screen stops rotating. Shutting down or exiting the game before or during this saving process WILL corrupt your save.
