You don't ... Listen, this isn't my first game ever. All your advice is small talk. Save your time. I know how to uninstall, download, upload saved data to the online storage, install, close apps, and restart my ps4. I already did all this. I completely removed the game and all contents of the game from my system. I re-downloaded as if I just bought it. When I upload a saved file from the online backup (any of them, I have over 20 saves) NONE of my content is there... AFTER I ALREADY ONCE HAD IT. I was halfway through the game. Up until this point I was able to access the free horses that I paid for with real $$$ during the pre-order. I ALREADY HAD THE DLC UP TO THIS POINT. As I stated in the original TOPIC; I also lost all of everything I earned in the game. My guns - gone! My Saddle - gone! And yes, I know how to play. I went to the gunsmith, I went to the stable, I went to the camp, etc. I am in the middle of chapter 3 with $24.38 and a pistol, a knife, a bow, and a donkey!
NOW: If I start a new game from scratch, all of my content is there / available. The horses, the outfits... Just as it was when I first started playing. But if I load a saved game, it's like my first day playing except for the game completion and missions. Who the hell wants to go into chapter 4 broke with no guns, and no horse, and no I can't go get the gold bars... I did that already which is why I had all upgraded gold guns and saddle and horse. I had 5 gold bars and went to the fence for the 1st time ever, saw I had $2,800 and felt like lil pump about it. Went to the gunsmith, stable, and camp and upgraded. Continued to play for the next 2 days. (Mostly roaming and hunting) and made my way to chapter 3 (half way through) on the 3rd day. I decided to watch Netflix and for the first time ever I actually had to "close application".
Ever since I tried to load a game ever again. It's been totally fkd up!
