When you start a new Ironman game you are asked to choose to save it locally or to the cloud. Which one did you choose?

And whichever one, do you have the same problem if you start a new test galaxy that way?


Localos aves are held here:
Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/save games/

Cloud saves are visible here:
store.steampowered.com

Do you see the missing files in either place?

That makes no sense at all - the purpose of resume is to continue an existing game of course!

That really looks like a file system problem, or an antivirus app getting in the way. Which one do you use? Stellaris.exe needs to be in all its exceptions lists.

Which AV do you use? Some need extra steps.
