Last updated
StarRupture splits saves in a confusing way during early access. The copy Steam Cloud actually syncs lives under userdata 1631270 remote, which is why AppData can look empty even with hours played.
A local mirror exists at %LOCALAPPDATA%\StarRupture\Saved\SaveGames on some installs, and dedicated servers write beside their own install. Check the userdata path first, since that is where Prima, Destructoid and the Steam forums all point.
