    Good Day,

    as far as I know when deleting the SBDCache file, it will create a new one at startup taking the Game Progress from the Career.xml file.

    Unfortunately, this no longer works for me. All game progress is lost.

    However, this was not the case in the past. I think it came after the 77.6b Update.

    Does anyone else have this problem or can reproduce it?

    Best Regards

    Are you using the Steam cloud? It twice reset my career.xml, so I'm not using cloud saves any more for ages.

    Hello Spike, thanks for your answer.

    Yes i use steam cloud, it never was a problem.

    The carrer.xml is fine, all the game progress is in there.

    It looks like that the SBD.Cache creation progress does not take the data from the caarrer.xml.

    Hmm. I'm doing that often, deleting the SDBCache.bin. It always works for me. If it's not working for you the only logical reason must be the career.xml is invalid.

    Did you delete the SBDCache.bin whilst you had Steam Client open?
    If so try it before opening the Steam Client

    Make sense, when i take a "old" SBDCache.bin from a backup and restore it, all works fine. When i delete it and it will create a new one, all game progress is gone.

    Thanks, i tried, make no difference...

    Will only pull info for Career data. Careful with bin files in scenario folders as I believe these also feed the data stream.
