Works on MAC to. In my case the savegame was just in the game gone, but in the Application Support it was there. I created a "savegame2" folder and made a copy like in the tutorial.
@@radozeman yes it works! thanks to you man, it really helped. For the mac users: How to get to Application Support? Open a finder window > on the top left of your screen click "go" > than hold the option key and a "library" will appear > click on this an there is the appliction support and the FS22 folder where you can follow the video instructions.
You’re a savior. Had 17 hours logged in about 3 days of work building my best farm yet and my computer restarted and I lost everything. You’re the best.
My husband was having a meltdown having lost his " months and months of work" save game due to a computer crash. This fixed his issue and my sanity, thank you.
over 260hrs into my game, and it was taking awhile to save so i alt+ctrl+delete and closed farming sim and my save was gone. your video saved the day. much appreciated
I just started playing, and I was expecting the terrain flattening tool to have a confirmation of some kind before applying the changes, so I accidentally spent all my money just to ruin an entire field. Was able to grab a backup from the previous day, and it's all good now. Thanks!
You are a life saver. Just lost a save game that I've been working on for over a week. You saved me a week's work restarting from scratch, nearly gave up on the whole thing. Prosperous 2024.
You are a life saver. I spent 21.4 hours in Farming sim, working on one map, and it all of a sudden disappeared. I don't use mods. Only thing I can think of is while I was on the main menu, my power to my desktop cut out, and an error occurred.
Thank you so much! I have restarted multiple saves the past months and this time i put to much time invested so i didnt want to loose this one and you are my hero atm! Great Video!
I am using a Steam Deck (Linux SteamOS) and I can confirm that this method works!! the savefile location is buried really deep inside but you can find it and do the exact same process here and it works, you really saved my FS22 savefile, I wish I would have known about this sooner as this was the second time, I lost a savefile to something like this. Glad I know how to fix it now.
had a todler banging on my keyboard on the career page and somehow deleted my saved game of 828.6 hours the first and only map i have played. feeling quite releaved that i did this and got it all back thanks heaps mate
Man, I cannot say thank you enough, you saved my bacon! My save game 1 file was corrupt, I moved to slot 2 and hey presto! It works, I’ve liked and subbed, Merry Christmas and a happy healthy new year, thank you Sir 😄👍🏻
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I’m a driver and I took my laptop with me on the road but it’s battery died and I honestly didn’t have a power converter neither had time to plug it at a rest stop, I got back home last night and when I went to relax and play my game I saw my game save was GONE 😢😢😢😢, you just saved me over 200 hours of gaming invested on that file, thank you!!!!!!
Man, thanks you so much. You really save my ass, i thought i got a heart attack when i doesn't find my 200 hour run. Your video really helped me, bless you!
I’ve been playing fs the whole week I had the most amazing farm and I had just played on it every single day non stop and then gone youuuu saved me thx
It happened to me. No mods used in the savegame, most fresh backup wouldnt work so I had to try a older one (lucky it was just couple minutes older) and now its working. Thanks a lot!!
Thank you soooo much!!! I had a 2 week old farm that was going very well and today I just started fs22 and saw the save is gone and I found this vid. Thank you so much!
I was pissed because i am very new to the game and its menues are quite unusual and i dont want restart a game just because i failed in choosing the right thing and you showed me with this video how to copy savegames and use it right, thank you ! I dont understand why developers make such easy things so difficult, not have the options to save as i want to save a game.
Whew, you saved me! I had a hard freeze yesterday where I had to Alt+F4 out, and today the saved game was gone. I know it was a mod because I'm mostly just playing with mods right now while all my fields are weeds lol. Fortunately, I use the autosave mod and save my game every 5 min. I had to go back three saved game files before it would show up again.
dude you are F....... AWESOME!!! u saved my account with the savegasme i've created at the very begining and playing on it ever since that. just to understand, i have over 3000hrs in the game , :DDD
i am not saying, i had the biggest and bestest farm, but still i am happy that its back. i put a lot of work into my tiny shitty farm and i didnt feel like restarting. so thanks for the vid. worked perfectly
For anyone wondering: My savegame 3 dissapeared but there still was a ''savegame 3'' folder, when that happens just do the same as shown in this video and when you paste the backup files into the savegame folder it will ask you to replace already existing folders, just replace them and you should be fine
worked for me on my pc, almost had to delete the game thank you so much!!! how did you figure out how to do this? people are smart af hahaha, thanks again! (Note; i had to go back to a backup file about 10 mins old to get one that worked)
Thank you so much It worked perfect the first save game didn't work but the one before it worked. Can't thank you enough if this had not have worked I would have left the game forever.
Is it the same issue where I’m playing the game and it just like glitches out and move none of buttons are working correctly and then I try to save and log out and come back and my save game is gone
Thank you so much for this. I accidentally deleted a save that had over 100 hours on it. I didn't come across this I would have lost a lot of progress.
I have Farming simulator downloaded on Desktop and Laptop. I have cloud save enabled on both but games file are different from each other. 2024-10-04 I started a multiplayer with my friends (on desktop), today (2024-10-06) i wanted to sync farming simulator 22 files with my laptop, however laptop doesn't show same saves. So i tried to sync on Desktop, sadly it synced and now my Desktop files are gone and now on Desktop I have files from my laptop and the multiplayer save is gone and I don't know how to recover it. Please help. (Sorry for long message)
Thanks for the video, it save me from ragequitting this hacked up game thats priced as AAA. Game is good but I still dont understand how they are so bad on everything else like multiplayer / menu / settings management
Okay so the savegame2 file is still there...and it just isnt showing up in the game. I even took it out, copied it, made a new savegame2 and pasted it all in and it still doesnt show up in game.
Bro man i kiss you and i love love love love love you. Life saver just putted 30hrs on fs25 and when i come back everything was gone. It worked perfectly and again thank you so much😘😘😘😘😘
If i go to my pc it says only "windows c" and if i click on it i can go into users and progams and all of those things, i can not find "documents" where you have it from.
Logged in farm Sim 17 on my ps5 for the first time in years and my 147 playing hours of data is gone...... no saved games, nothing... it still knows I played 147hrs though.... am I screwed?
Yea i had a huge property that i was in the process of clearing out trees to build my house I also had a huge workshop at the back of the property and then i restarted my pc and i lost it i followed this tutorial and it worked thank you so much
pozz, I did the same thing, it gave me back the game, but when it loads and I want to enter the game, it reaches 95% and has been standing for more than half a day, how can I fix it?
Works on MAC to. In my case the savegame was just in the game gone, but in the Application Support it was there. I created a "savegame2" folder and made a copy like in the tutorial.

Same here, I was about to lose 243 Hrs. Basically all the FS22 I played since release.
My husband was having a meltdown having lost his " months and months of work" save game due to a computer crash. This fixed his issue and my sanity, thank you.
Time for a new husband. So you can ‘save’ your life
so was i you dont get how much work gose into a save
Well, I hope he’s no longer your husband
Yeah I lost months of work.. not her husband. Was still pissed off with loosing hour upon hours of work.
Dude, you are my hero. I had about 2 thousand hours into Hobo’s Hallow when the thing disappeared. I almost started it over.
Wow that’s a lot of hours!
over 260hrs into my game, and it was taking awhile to save so i alt+ctrl+delete and closed farming sim and my save was gone. your video saved the day. much appreciated
Oh I’ve done that before as well!
That was probably the best tutorial for FS22 there is. It literally saved me from bashing my computer to bits.
Thanks lol!
I just started playing, and I was expecting the terrain flattening tool to have a confirmation of some kind before applying the changes, so I accidentally spent all my money just to ruin an entire field. Was able to grab a backup from the previous day, and it's all good now. Thanks!
Nope! No undo or going back! Unless you restore a save game.
You are a life saver. Just lost a save game that I've been working on for over a week. You saved me a week's work restarting from scratch, nearly gave up on the whole thing. Prosperous 2024.

Wow did you save me! I would have lost 20+ hours over 4 days of work. Way easier than I thought it would be. Thank you!
Great to hear!

Glad I could help
Thanks for this, I deleted a "multiplayer" save not realising that it's actually the same save as the single player one!
Ah yes, they are the same!
Man, I cannot say thank you enough, you saved my bacon! My save game 1 file was corrupt, I moved to slot 2 and hey presto! It works, I’ve liked and subbed, Merry Christmas and a happy healthy new year, thank you Sir 😄👍🏻

Thank you soooo much!!! I had a 2 week old farm that was going very well and today I just started fs22 and saw the save is gone and I found this vid. Thank you so much!
Are you a life savior man! I tought 113 hours of game I lost. THX 🤗

This will help a lot, farm sim has been refusing to save then deleting the save completely recently
Oh that’s not good! Sounds like a mod problem!
dude

You may friend are a life saver, my game crashed and upon re loading the game my save was not there so I done this and I have my save back!!!
Thanks!
Bro, I just love you so much bro. You saved my hours and hours of gaming because I accidentelly deleted it.🙏🙏
After a hectic day at work come home to find my save has gone 😢, you sir are a legend thank you
For anyone wondering: My savegame 3 dissapeared but there still was a ''savegame 3'' folder, when that happens just do the same as shown in this video and when you paste the backup files into the savegame folder it will ask you to replace already existing folders, just replace them and you should be fine
Yes, the folder typically will always be there with files already in it.
Bro you saved my life and 60 hours of my time, THANK YOU!
Thanks Randy, Genesee Co. went missing lol. Had to go back a couple saves to retrieve it. It is up and working properly. 👍💪
Sucks when it happens, but at least this feature exists!
ADAM ADAM GELDİ ADAM OLUYO BEYLER DENEYİN
Thx this works for FS 25. Update your title you’ll get more views, only vid I’ve seen that helps.
thanks man, your video just helped me recreate landsum map with 179 hours of play.
Thanks! Had a mod corrupt a save, this saved me a ton of trouble, thank you.
worked for me on my pc, almost had to delete the game thank you so much!!! how did you figure out how to do this? people are smart af hahaha, thanks again! (Note; i had to go back to a backup file about 10 mins old to get one that worked)
It's been a feature in every version of Farming Simulator, I don't know why Giants doesn't advertise this feature though.
Thank you so much It worked perfect the first save game didn't work but the one before it worked. Can't thank you enough if this had not have worked I would have left the game forever.
Glad I could help
Is it the same issue where I’m playing the game and it just like glitches out and move none of buttons are working correctly and then I try to save and log out and come back and my save game is gone
This saved my almost 200 hour game, ty for this!
Glad it worked!
Thank you so much, now my bois and I can get on grinding again!
Thanks mate, this worked for me. Good video nice n straightforward
Spoke to soon not loading past 95
Try deactivating all mods! Or go older.
Thank you so much for this. I accidentally deleted a save that had over 100 hours on it. I didn't come across this I would have lost a lot of progress.
Ah yes, this method even works for this! I don't know why Giants doesn't advertise this feature....
IT WAS RIGHT HERE. THANK YOU!
thx a lot man my savegame just diseappeared overnight i had over 80h on it and now its back htx a lot
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much, solved my problem. Straight to the point, everything clear, good information. Just perfect tutorial.
Thanks!
I did this but every time I try to load it won't go past 85. any idea to fix that?
It a mod conflict. Try deleting the most recent mods you have used and it should load.
how do I get rid of a mod that I've removed from my folder but the game still acknowledges that it exists?
I slammed my desk 3 times, ty so much😅
Thanks for the help man! When I saw it was gone i was like wth really? lol

Try moving the files to another empty save game maybe?
@@radozeman I just did what you showed with the back up and it worked. Something in my savegame2 mustve corrupted or something.
Thank you very much, I have the only save I had because I have 78 hours of playing on it, a very good tutorial, best regards from Poland
You are welcome!
thank you SO much super simple!
Thanks for the help finally got my game back!
Nice!
can i ask something when I turn on the map and it loads, it just stops at 99% and it doesn't work, can you give me some advice?
So this happened but my save game still shows up where the other do in the folder
my own planted tree sapling is missing, i dont see that on my map. What is wrong ??
Bro man i kiss you and i love love love love love you. Life saver just putted 30hrs on fs25 and when i come back everything was gone. It worked perfectly and again thank you so much😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much!!! Also works for fs25, when the game bugs and make weird stuff, in the savegames
If i go to my pc it says only "windows c" and if i click on it i can go into users and progams and all of those things, i can not find "documents" where you have it from.
Folder icon either on the task bar or desktop or the quick access in any file folder and you should be able to find Documents
thanks! I thought 70 hours of work were gone, but i got it back🚜
Glad it worked!
Just saved me from losing 300 hours worth of play...thanx
Glad to hear it
THANK YOU BRO SO SO MUCH DESERVED A SUBBED U DESEVERED 1 MILLION BTW IF U HAVE STEAM U NEED TO SYNC THE CLUD THINGY ON STEAM
how it come i dont have any "samegame" folder when i go in to the "Farmingsimulator" folder?
It is possibly located under a different username on your computer? I've heard of Steam doing that.
what if you have the savedgame folder do you still have to make another savedgame folder like you did in the video?
If you don't have one yes, though I don't think I have ever seen the whole folder missing.
@@radozeman ok thanks! This helped and saved my 20hr world thx bro 😎
Plz help, my fs22 not saving the game. When i click the save game option , it just keeps on saving game screen for infinit time and freezes there.
That's usually caused by a mod, I would start there!
@@radozeman yes u r right, i deleted all my mods and fresh installs only necessary mods and voila , my game saves now 😁.
thank you man! saved my and my 10 years old cousin's life :)
Glad I could help!
My savegame has gone missing on the gamescreeen, it says empty slot but the files are stil there in the folder. Any idea of what to do?
The main saves xml is probably missing or corrupt.
TYSM. The game crashed while saving and this saved me
Oh hate it when that happens! Glad it worked!
Logged in farm Sim 17 on my ps5 for the first time in years and my 147 playing hours of data is gone...... no saved games, nothing... it still knows I played 147hrs though.... am I screwed?
Unless PlayStation backed up your data it’s probably gone….
Thank you bro, you saved my 200 hours save...
Yea i had a huge property that i was in the process of clearing out trees to build my house I also had a huge workshop at the back of the property and then i restarted my pc and i lost it i followed this tutorial and it worked thank you so much
Nice!
What if I lost the world but the file is still there, but when I start the game I don't see it.
Thanks man, I used this method to rollback my save file after a messed up my farm 👍
I've done that as well!
Thxs so much kept happening and found ur vid and got them back
had a powercut during saving, savegame1 is there with all the files but all my load game sections in game are empty....
One of the files is most likely corrupt then.
@@radozeman ye i was able to return to the previous save. Rip 30mins fidling with wheel loader and pallets....
thank you so much, I just had a minor hearth attack today when I lost 200 hours of playing
Ouch, that would have been a lot of hours to lose!
I did everything but my game won’t load in, it gets to 95% and then freezes, like it’s still trying to load but it can’t
OMG YOU ARE THE BEST, THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU SAVE MY GAME CARRIER
pozz, I did the same thing, it gave me back the game, but when it loads and I want to enter the game, it reaches 95% and has been standing for more than half a day, how can I fix it?
same did u find a reason why on how to fix?
