I appreciate the reply, Nick. Interesting to see some of the things you have to contend with behind the scenes. I can imagine how frustrating it must be. In my own daily work I'm regularly frustrated when things don't quite work correctly due to bad configurations or bugs/'features' that few are interested to fix.
To Avionic's post, I have had to contend with the cloud save corruption in 2024 too, and had to reset my cloud save completely. For me, it manifested itself with SU3's release. The game would freeze within a few seconds of reaching the main menu, so the game was unusuable. Nothing fixed it until I gave up and did the cloud save reset. I still haven't fully rebuilt my controller bindings since (but I don't use 2024 much). It often prompts me to save a new profile after editing a binding, even when I'm editing an already-customised profile. So it's getting messy with duplicate/triplicate versions of profiles with a (1) and (2) suffix. Confusing. But I digress!
