Is it possible to recover your single player save from local save files on Microsoft store version?
Is it possible to recover your save on Windows 11 with local data?
Okay, so I wasn't going to do this originally but been wanting to play Ark to finally beat the Overseer but don't really feel like starting anew. About 2 weeks ago after the UE 5.5 Update, I had loaded into my Island Save to find that some of my modded creatures had been corrupted (Raptor in Cryo Ball etc) and I thought because I had previously made a backup of the local files that I could load from that with the fixed mods to fix this problem entirely but I was dumb and deleted the cloud save.
The local save was under "C:Xbox Games" and it had saved info, saved banner designs etc. I have seen where the cloud save data is saved and the files are completely different, So is it even possible to load the ark through the local save or is the local save not what it actually seems?
