How to stop Atomic Heart lost progress
The main way to stop Atomic Heart lost progress and to protect your save is to be on the lookout for a “Disconnect” notification while playing the game, according to a user named .Isaac on Steam.
If you see that message, it means that the game won’t save properly until your restart the game. The user was able to reproduce the saving problem on the game’s Xbox Game Pass version by manually disconnecting his PC from the internet.
To double-check and make sure your progress is actually saved, we recommend the following: Every time you save, check the Load Game option and see what the timestamp of the most recent save is. Otherwise, you might want to reload a prior save.
