Well I have checked the save file. Hate to break you, but last 20% is filled by zeroes. I dont have insight to what should be inside the file. But load of zeroes does not seem right. Compared it with my file and my file does not have zeroes at the end. My ends with "PS4Compliant":true}" string. So it seems like something overwrote end of your file during the crash

When somethig overwrite the end of the file, you cannot use methods for recovering for example deleted files. Simply because the process which overwrote the file used same parts of the drive.

You said the steam contains the same data. It seems like when you executed the steam after crash, it detected file with later save date and overwrote the server copy with your corrupted.

Do you have the windows recovery enabled? If so, previous recovery points may contain the data. But it is only blind shot. Not sure whether the folder is backed up.

Thank you for your response.

I wonder if that file can be restored in other ways

I'm not sure Hinterland is going to assist with a corrupt save file. Don't get your hopes up. I think it's lost. If you pc crashed and now the save is no longer loading, it's probably corrupted. Sorry dude. 

This is also helpful, but it doesnt say it's corrupted, it's only my assumption

Sorry to hear that. I would suggest to contact Hinterland tech support.

This is really helpful, thanks

I was playing Day 185 on my sandbox survival map, and then my PC crashed, and after I load back in, my survival game was absent, and only the second 7 hour game save on interloper was still there. 
I check my save files, and I'm pretty sure they are still there, and even in the sandbox game mode selection it shows that only 2/25 slots are taken, meaning there is one more world that is not showing. 

I tried re-downloading Steam save data with the same result.

Is there any way to fix this? I think I'll kill myself if I don't get it back, I only needed 1 more skill upgrade to max out everything!

I've attached the two save files that won't load, maybe there's a way to make them work?
