Hey all,
I'm experiencing an apparently somewhat common problem with the PC version of the game where Steam or the game seems to have some selective memory about your MP history.
Last night I was up till about 3 AM playing multiplayer (it was just too much fun, I usually hate MP, but anyway) and got to level 15 or something, had a bunch of weapon unlocks and completed challenges, spent god knows how long on customizing appearances, etc.
The issue is today, when I click Online, it says my level is 1 and everything is locked. Also, there is an interminable recycling of the "loading online appearances" message which never goes away no matter how long I wait. However, if a join a match and then quit out, my level is restored but none of my challenges or color schemes are there. I checked the official forums and several of the last posters on the related thread...

...said that enabling Steam Cloud globally (for all games) fixed the problem for them. Unfortunately, it had no effect for me. The work-around of starting a game and then quitting out to restore my level worked before and after I enabled Steam Cloud globally. The challenge data and color schemes are still missing, before and after the Steam Cloud tweak.
Also, when I go into Steam and check my achievements, Steam correctly states that I have completed challenge-related acheivements. For example, Steam says I have earned the "Master of Arms" achievement, which you get for completing 5 weapon challenges. So, Steam knows about my challenges and such, but the game doesn't.
UPDATE: It also seems that there is something wrong with the single-player side too. I'm at the very last save point, right before the battle with the Chaos Lord. So, when I go to "Continue", that's what comes up. However, if I go to "Replay Mission", they are all locked, as if I haven't played through any of them. The single-player interface also says I have not found any servo skulls, even though I've found over 10, and Steam's list of achievements confirms it. So, again, Steam seems to know more than the game does, on the single-player side too.
I'm hoping my post on the official forum will garner some fix, or at least an acknowledgement from Relic of the problem and that they're working on a solution, but I thought I should post here too, in case you all have found a work-around that actually works.
Thanks for any help you can render.
