Was playing skyrim and when I closed out of skyrim, my computer locked up. Skyrim had been open for something like 5 hours.
black screen with mouse pointer that moved around, keyboard worked, but nothing else did anything (alt + tab; control + alt + delete/esc) didn't pop up anything.
after restarting, i started up steam, and went to play skyrim again. Steam sync automatically starts Syncing without a prompt.

I lost like 3 hours of gameplay...
I can't find any other save files for skyrim locally.
Did steam just automatically replace all of my newer saves?
or did the crash cause my other saves to get lost?

the only thing I like about EA Origin is that its cloud save features seem to WORK properly.

That's a tough one. This is why no one has 'helped' you yet. I've never had any problems with Steam. Just because a game crashes doesn't mean you're gonna lose your saved games. Something else is going on.

Can someone more knowledgable than me chime in here, please?
