Hey,
when I launched the game yesterday, my language was changed back to German, the task bar symbol was distorted and my local data is apparently lost. (And my last save currupted.. RIP). After relaunching the game the first two issiues fixed themselves (I changed the language in Steam), but my local data is still nowhere to be found. Screenshots
First log:
Second log:
“Cloud player-data.json unavailable” means Steam does not have your player-data.json. Maybe you don't have Steam Sync turned on, maybe you have never synced your player-data.json to it or maybe you or Steam or something else deleted it. In any case, doesn't sound like a Factorio issue. Since you didn't have player-data.json in the second start either, it sounds like Steam Sync doesn't work for you for some reason.

I have Steam sync turned off but I used it for about a month maybe? This the first time that I get this error though. Afaik I didn't delete any file, BUT I shut off my compter several times using the power button (causing a "hard" shutdown) so perhaps that's same weird Steam interaction going on there...

You most likely damaged the files that way.
The intresting thing about that is that I did that before and nothing broke. So I'll say it was caused by a Steam fuckup and won't worry about it.
