Played primarily on multiplayer via Host & Play w/my bf this whole weekend on a large world on "master" mode. We updated to 1.4.04 yesterday, played all night with no issues, and then played for about 4-5 hours today. No mods were used whatsoever.
After we played for a few hours today, we decided to take a break and I hit Save & Exit like I normally do. After our break, I went to load up the game again via Host & Play and it was stuck hanging on "Starting server..." After about 5 mins of it stuck, I decided to try to load it up in singleplayer mode to find that the file is corrupted.
I navigated the local files and couldn't find any local saves of my world, until I moved it off of steam cloud. I tried to restore previous versions, but there weren't any. There also weren't any .bak files when I took the save off steam cloud.
From now on, I will refrain from using the cloud save feature and will manually back up my files after every session. 30+ cumulative hours into this world are completely gone. I'm completely distraught as we've been looking forward to playing this update. If there is any way to fix the world, or at least retrieve the items in the chests, please let me know.
