My Motherboard broke so i got a new one (ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer). I had to reinstall windows on my SSD and everything went smoothly. I downloaded steam on my SSD, All my games are on my HDD. I linked the game folder to a Steam Library and Steam recognized all the games i had downloaded and started updating. Although when launching ANY game none of my saves are there except online saved games obviously. But like Outlast 2, Mad Max, stuff like that has none of my save data even tho steam recognized the game folder on my HDD. Does anyone know how to help? Thank you so much for trying in advance!

Depends on the game honestly for instance outlast 2 savegames are saved in the documents folder of your account in the my games folder. Mad max is in a similiar location in a folder called WB Games in the documents folder. But you will need to do a search on a game by game basis as each game can be different based on the choices made by the developer.
