Explanation

Apologies if this is not the correct vehicle for this.

This is not technically a bug in DRG, but, well, not sure where to post . . . Got onto DRG for the first time in maybe a month or so yesterday (3/29/26) on Xbox and got a message that I had a sync issue and should I choose local or what was in the cloud, and I selected local, which appears to have been a bad idea . . . it now launches me into the initial game demo, and talking to Xbox support they say it does look like my game save was overwritten with effectively a blank save, and that seems not great. Is there a way to restore game progress from a backup? The normal Xbox process would be to just download the cloud save if there wasn't anything local, not sure how I had a blank one locally.

I have, uh, a few hours in DRG. Gamertag is the same as my Discord username. Anybody at GSG able to give me a hand on this? I don't know if this is Xbox or GSG or who, but Xbox wasn't helpful and my Reddit post has no traction, and, well, I have . . . 44.3 days playtime in DRG so this is a mite concerning for me.
