Had this happen with a friend. He ended up making a standard save of the world and then promoted that to a shared world then unshared the borked one.

This is almost what happened to the first attempt my friend and I tried to play. We were playing when an update needed to happen and this caused some sort of issue. When I tried to re-launch the game, my save was flat out missing. He could see it though somehow. I could only see it if he were playing and it still showed him I was the owner. I had tried to save the game before I logged out but it wouldn't save. I could push that button all day but it wouldn't save. I couldn't load any of the backup saves because it said there was no primary save. He ended up making a standard save then promoting that to a shared world and gave me permission to it. I was still having problems with things so I ended up uninstalling/reinstalling. Oh, the joys of early access.

I have been having this happen. I'm playing it from the PC GamePass. I had to go find both .exe files for the game and set both to always run as administrator in order to save keybinds (probably only needed one but wanted to be sure). Of course this won't help anyone on an Xbox, but this does seem to be some sort of permissions problem. I don't know why it's pulling this.

Three times now my friend and I have had to restore our game from a standard copy one of us thankfully made because hours of playtime was erased by there being no save or backup saves created during that whole session. This latest time, it was him who owned the shared world. I had played through 6 in game days, a couple of them with him. During that entire time, not one save was made, even on logout when it says it is going to make a save. I had made a standard copy when I left the game since we flat out lost everything from our first game and we didn't want that to happen again. I'm not sure if making the standard copy somehow made the shared save lose all those hours of gameplay or not, but that was kinda crazy that neither him or I had any trace of it otherwise.
