Game has no Save files

[house140]

Hi everyone,

Everytime I launch Factorio after a period of time in between sessions(hours), I open the campaign and find that there are no additional missions. I've completed First steps and the first mission of New Hope, and I've seen that I am able to select those missions, but after the hours I'm done playing and come back, they're not to be seen. This has happened a few times so far, and I don't know what is going wrong. I found my Factorio folder, and there is not anything similar to a 'Save' folder as shown here: https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... _directory . Autosaves are still there, but not completed campaign missions.

1. OS?
2. Type of installation?
3. log-file?

the save folder holds games that you have saved manually.

I've completed First steps and the first mission of New Hope, and I've seen that I am able to select those missions, but after the hours I'm done playing and come back, they're not to be seen.

Please clarify.

Can you select First Steps 2?
Can you select First Steps 3?
Can you select New Hope 2?

@bobingabout: I do not see any save folders related to Factorio when I attempt to save game.
@DaveMcW: During the session that I beat the levels, I am then allowed to go back and see First Steps 2,3, etc. However, if I open a new session, like today, it immediately starts the tutorial as if nothing new has happened.

I think something is wrong with your windows roaming profile configuration. Your progress and saved games are going to get written to this path, and if they aren't there later then something outside of Factorio is removing them.

Problem fixed (embarrassingly) by restarting the computer. Not sure what could have made the problem originate other than changing my IP address to fiddle with making multiplayer work.
