Can't change save type from cloud to local. Lost 20 days of game progress.

I was playing during the night (17.07.2025 around 01:00 am - 03:50 am UTC +3), reached day 526, but when i opened the game some hours later (17.07.2025 around 15:30 UTC+3) it's on day 506. I asked my friend he said that this can happen if i have game saved on a cloud. So i tryed to change to local save but got an error. I verifyed file integrity, restarted the game but still have this error. Today (18.07.2025 around 13:30 UTC +3) checked again and still can't convert save type.

Attaching some logs and screenshots.

Steps to Reproduce

I'm not sure that there're any steps. I was playing the game, closed it and opened with a rollback. 

I just opened the game to check if i can convert save type and got an error.

I can fix it

Hello.
I need more details about "The last step you need to do is copy and paste the old save file (location C) to the new (folder D)".
I tryed copypasting diff files and folders but the game couldn't see it. So what and how exactly i need to copy and paste to the new folder? (whole "Klei" folder? just agreements, donotstarvetogether/beta folders? only files in donotstarvetogether folder?)

Xin chào.
Tôi cần thêm thông tin chi tiết về "Bước cuối cùng bạn cần làm là sao chép và dán tệp lưu cũ (vị trí C) vào tệp mới (thư mục D)".
Tôi đã thử sao chép các tệp và thư mục diff nhưng trò chơi không thể nhìn thấy nó. Vậy chính xác thì tôi cần sao chép và dán vào thư mục mới là gì và như thế nào? (toàn bộ thư mục "Klei"? chỉ là thỏa thuận, thư mục donotstarvetogether/beta? chỉ các tệp trong thư mục donotstarvetogether?)

Delete all data in the new folder, then copy everything in the Klei folder to the new folder

tôi đã thử với đường dẫn
này D:\games\steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\Klei
cũng đã thử mooving để hoàn toàn khác biệt thư mục như
D:\games\dst\game files
nhưng trò chơi không thấy các bản lưu cũ

To know where the new folder is, go into the game, click on the "data" icon in the left corner of the screen. You will know where the new save folder is. Most of the time it will be another folder (next to your DST game folder) --> My new save folder is "Don't" (it creates itself) and I copy everything in the klei file to the "Don't" folder and that's it.image.png.587977dbd4ce5bcfd454be9dff8982e0.png
