I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4 over the holidays. I started and finished the Nuka World DLC (killed all the baddies), made it to level 90, etc.

Today I was playing on my Deck as the battery got a little low (11%) so I saved my game, exited the game, and went to shut down.

As it was shutting down, the Deck displayed a message, something like "Syncing to Steam Cloud" as the logo was spinning.

A few hours later, on a full charge, I booted it back up, started Fallout 4 again and... some of my old saves are there, but only about 30% of them, and critically not the most recent ones.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is this a known issue? Can I fix it, or report it? I've basically lost interest in finishing the game now.

I feel your pain. I didn't have this exact scenario, but I lost a tooooon of progress in Yakuza 0. Manually saving and then putting the device to sleep. At some point the game crashed and since I hadn't been exiting/entering, the last cloud save was about 2-3 acts behind where I was.

Very rough.
