Borderlands 2's amazing game save problem

corrupt save, start from last save and move on with life.
BL2 is a fun game, enjoy what u might have missed the first time

The game is smart and considered you could do it better, so it put you some steps back. Now do it better or be forced to repeat it many times

It was Handsome Jack! He is playing tricks on you! Anyway if you have Steam Cloud enabled, you should let it synchronize after you REINSTALLED your copy :P

i lost my skins playing in offline mode and then playing in online mode on another computer. Might be the same case? However, i didn't look for solutions because, mehh.... skins....

edit: I probably forgot to upload my save to the cloud lel

maybe you selected wrong character in main menu?

You got a synchronization error.

Each time you play a game with sync function on steam your save file is send to steam server for a backup. If you'll install a game on a new computer (or you just formatted your hard drive) steam will download your saves from the web to allow you to resume playing. It is also useful if you have two or more computers and play sometimes on one, and sometimes on the other, because it can copy your saves between them. The problem is that your 24 level save wasn't send to steam. So when the game was launched again it should have reported that save on hard drive is out of sync with the save on steam cloud. The problem is that you probably ignored this (or some bug prevented window from poping up) and steam downloaded your older save and overwritten it on your hard drive. At least it is mine theory about what happened.

It is better made in Orgin where if there is a conflict between HDD and cloud saves the client tells you which was made when with a date and an hour, so it is harder to confuse new save with the old one.

The only solution... which I would avoid, is to use the save game editor.
