    I had about 50 different formations and closer to 100 custom liveries. All gone now. UGC substitution and liveries are enabled, I've tried toggling these two settings, and restarting the game between. This setting being bugged was the issue the last time my liveries and formations disappeared. This time it didn't do anything.

    I can make new ones, they show up and work, but the old ones are all gone. There's several people complaining about the same thing in the comment thread under the update on Steam. Either the update messed up the UGC settings (doubtful, as new liveries work), or someone seriously messed up.

    I'll also mention any liveries I've not made myself but downloaded from the creators club, are also still there and work as intended.
    Like this IC-livery for the BR 146.2.

    Actually I managed to figure out what had happened. It would appear an update since the 15th have moved the save files into another folder in the SaveGames folder under Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld7\Saved\SaveGames\*folder named a long number*, instead of just sitting in Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld7\Saved\SaveGames. However, whatever process did the migration missed UGCFormations_0.sav and UGCLiveries_0.sav, as the UGCFormations_0.sav was completely missing in the new folder and the UGCLiveries_0.sav was only 2 KB in size. Moving the UGCFormations_0.sav and UGCLiveries_0.sav files manually to the new folder seems to have solved the issues, all my liveries and formations are back!

    Did you import your profile / the correct profile on first launch ? My UGCFormations_0.sav and UGCLiveries_0.sav files copied over by themselves without issue

    Hi all, we've found that liveries were no longer visible in-game after the Day 1 patch due to the implementation of Steam Cloud support. However, this will only affect those who played during early access.

    You will now find folder with a long string of numbers that represents your profile under \\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld7\Saved\SaveGames\. This folder is synchronized with the Steam Cloud and is where your UGC files need to live.

    Previously, the UGC files were kept in the SaveGames folder. Simply moving the UGC files into the numbered folder will make them visible in-game.

    If you made any new liveries/formations after the Day 1 update, you will have a new set of UGC files in the numbered folder, and your old files in the SaveGames folder. Unfortunately, you can't keep both, so you will need to decide which files you keep in the numbered folder. Keeping the older files would be the logical choice if you already have a lot of creations.

    Alternatively, you can re-import your profile, and your UGC files will be in the right place by default.

    Wait, our created liveries are now synced to the Steam Cloud??? DTG-Chris

    ...is anything else more, compared to older versions? Why wasn't this more prominent release news, goddamnit, that's (almost) huge!
