Greetings.

I play a few campaign missions, then quit the game, turn of PC but when i come back to continue the campaign i only get the option to start a new one. All campaign progress wiped. I get a "choose cloud or local save data" messages and i of course chose the most recent. Whatever i choose i have to start all over. Multiplayer is fine. Internet is fine. Syncing says it goes well.

A few other people have reported this. It is different than the mission selection screen bug.

Thank you.

Nevermind, i found out on my own what "put out cloud saves" is.

I disabled cloud saves and now progress is saved. However...when i enable  them (for another game) all progress is lost again.

As a workaround, i back up the Star Wars Battlefront II directory located in the Documents folder (Windows 10). When cloud saves mess up my progress i copy the backup over the current one. 

Thank you for the solutionm if poorly worded. :-)

I put out cloud protection in Win 10 defender. and exclude the scanner from scaning de SWBF2 game folder.

And that worked for me.

And I changed the Bootfile a little bit. 

Now it saves the settings and the SP and Arcade progress.

But it does not seem to work for everybody.

But I'm glad it did for me

good luck.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Could you please instruct me on how to do it? Because you talked about your success, but forgot to mention how.

I would appreciate your response.

Thank you in advance.

Are the milestones wiped as well? If not I would exploit this bug as much as I could if I were you. ;P
