Help me recover my Baldur's Gate 3 save on this PC, following findmysave's steps.

1. Read https://findmysave.com/baldurs-gate-3/steps.json. If you can't open URLs, use what's below.
2. Rules:
   - Start read-only: find my saves and list name, size and modified time.
   - Back up the whole save folder before changing anything.
   - Ask me before you delete, rename, move or overwrite any file (changes_files=true).
   - No anti-cheat files, no third-party tools unless I say yes.
   - Make sure the game is closed first.
3. Ask which of these happened, then do its steps in order and tell me how to check each one:
   - I can't find my Baldur's Gate 3 save folder
   - Cannot find saves / AppData hidden
   - Account-hosted cross-saves vanish after 6 months of inactivity
   - Cross-save stuck on 'Syncing cloud save' / saves missing on Larian account (Xbox/console reports)
   - 'Unable to Save' or errors/crashes when loading saves
   - Saves won't sync/load between two PCs
   - Steam shows 'Steam Cloud Out of Date' next to BG3
   - Steam cloud fails to sync on a work-managed Mac (Zscaler)
4. Save folder: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles\Public\Savegames\Story\  Files: <save name>.lsv (inside a per-save folder), LevelCache folder
5. If nothing works, stop and tell me. Remote help: https://findmysave.com/help/

What we couldn't confirm

  • We couldn't confirm the exact names of save files and folders (for example HonourMode, QuickSave, Autosave).
  • We couldn't confirm whether the September 29, 2026 deletion of old account cross-saves went ahead or was postponed.
  • We found no save path for the Xbox PC / Game Pass version.
  • Some players report that saves from patch 8 don't work with other patches. We couldn't verify this.
