Are there a max amount of game save files CP2077 can manage? I have 3 characters, a lvl 35 Corpo netrunner, a 25 Nomad melee and a 10 Streetkid tank/shotgunner. All is well for a long time since launch, i experience no gamebreaking bugs, but suddenly i notice some of my game saves are gone. Example my 35 netrunner a bunch of quick/auto saves are gone, the only ones left are 10-15 levels lower. Same happened next to my 25 melee, only ONE save file exists now, a lvl 3 :<
This is litteraly tens of hours of gameplay lost.

I use Epic Games Launcher to run Cyberpunk, just now i've turned off Epics cloud saves. Since the saves should be stored locally on my drives, im hoping theres a way to restore them.

from what I understand auto/quick auto saves have a limit, so they end up overwritten, only manual saves last
unfortunately you can't create a different profile for each playthrough

Playing level 37 nomad. Decided to go look at my streetkid. Manual streetkid no longer existed. Old corpo had disappeared as well. Each had one manual save.

Myeah this sucks so much... I kept playing on my Corpo and did more quick/autosaves, now *all* of my Streetkid saves are gone, and only one of Nomad at lvl 3 still present... i'm estimating 15-20ish hours of gameplay lost.

Hope CDPR gonna fix this soon!

not sure if this would work in the mean time but copy the saved files into individual folders for each character and then when you want to play another character put the files into the game saved folder

Will do this going forward. Kinda wish there was a skip to all the intro quests, a new char takes about 2 hours to get fully into the game and open up most of the features, which i've done on 3 chars already, 2 of which are gone completely cause of saves maxing out

Check if OneDrive is active in windows. Because this is a known issue with One Drive "backing-up" personal files to the cloud and moving them from its original folder.
