The game doesn't use the Steam cloud, so if you did a clean install (wiping your old user data) and didn't have your own backup of the save file, it will be gone.

When you say there's nothing, do you mean that the game says that all of the save slots are "empty"; or there's a save, but it's at 0%? If it's the latter, maybe the file you see in the Saved Games folder is just a new one that the game just created.

Just to check, under Windows 10, the save files are in

%localappData%\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman\Saved Games

Under Win 11, they might be in a different appdata folder.

When i go to Load game it says "No lego batman the video game data present"

And my old save file is in Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman\Saved Games. It says it was created on sep 15th (when i bought the game)

I don't recognize that error. It doesn't specifically mention save files, so it sounds like there may be a problem with the game files themselves. I would start by having Steam verify the game files.

If that doesn't work, I would try renaming the save file or moving it to another folder. If the game works after that, maybe the save file is corrupted.

Ok i figured it out. So i think the issue was that the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman\Saved Games that had my save file wasnt in the localappdata folder but it was in a Windows.old folder and not the new Windows folder which didnt have my save. (im guessing thats from my windows reinstall)

So then i moved my save file to the new Windows folder (which still didnt work lol), but then i just moved my save in and out and renamed it and now it works. Ty :)

Glad to hear that you got it working.
