same issue here. every single note on every game is pure blank; can't write anything, can't make any new notes, and i can't see anything- it's as if the steam notes all refuse to load. i restarted steam, restarted the overlay, went into the steam beta branch, went back to the regular steam branch and restarted my pc, made sure that both my drivers and my windows were up-to-date, and still nothing! this sucks!! all my notes are gone!!

Try reboot pc or change steam DL server and see if that help, possible a steam server glitch, might be part of steam event sale and ISP line is busy, aso you can get though to steam server, and that why you hope change steam dl zone might help.

I managed to solve the issue. It's unfortunately not too obvious from the Steam client side. But when I started a game I had notes in, I noticed that on the notes window, there was a cloud symbol. I clicked on it, and it stated there was a cloud conflict. I was unsure of which option to choose.. so I digged down into where the notes are located, opened the notes with Notepad++ and saw that the notes stored locally are really there. So I choosed the option to keep the local stored notes, and it synced with the cloud.. and then, all the notes on all games are back!

It seems like it was clearly a cloud issue from Steam's server side that caused this. The conflict prevented any notes from being shown.

this problem i hate ark because this problem are so bad

So the solution is to click the cloud button on the notes window, and sync with the local notes ?

I'm assuming that the local notes will be the more up-to-date version, since local is saved first then uploaded to the cloud after right ?

yes, you gotta click the cloud icon in the notes window. and you will know which version (cloud or local) is more up-to-date based on the dates shown. in my case, the local was the most recent version of my notes.
