Step 1: Disable Cloud Saving for this game

Basically go to your Steam Library, right-click Freedom, click on Properties and unmark the "Keep Games Saves in the Steam Cloud for Freedom Fighters"

Step 2: Delete the steam_auto_cloud.vdf file

Open Windows "Run Command" console (Windows + R hotkey)
Then paste the following direction: %APPDATA%\IO Interactive\Freedom Fighters\Profiles

Once in that folder search for the steam_auto_cloud.vdf file (It should be easy to spot, only like 3 files in that folder)

Delete that file.

Step 3: There's no Step 3

Exactly, there's no Step 3, the issue should be fixed already.

Once in-game you should be able to load your previous save files!

Don't forget to press RATE and FAVORITE, it would mean a lot to me.

I have had this problem before but reinstalled the game and now it's saving the game.

Слухай я не знаю хто ти, і де знаходишся. Просто знай, що я тебе б розцілував. Я вже думав гру за один підхід проходити. І хочу додати, у мене проблема спала після першого шагу.
