If it was also a Cloud save, then there is a local cached copy of the file which may not have been affected by the write error. By default this is in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YOUR STEAM ID>\203770\remote\save games

That is very sad! Being Ironman the save file is encrypted and so can't be edited to examine or rescue it.

It is unusual to get an issue like that with a local save though; that message you got means the game tried to write the save file and failed for an unknown reason. That can happen when saving to the cloud, of course, if you have an internet dropout or Steam server glitch, but for it to happen while writing a local file is very rare. Assuming your hard disk is genuinely not out of space, you might want to run a disk check across it.

Oh, I see! That is the problem with the ironman paradigm Paradox use; you are wholly dependent on one save file writing cleanly. Any glitch in that process and yes, you lose your game progress. Even with the cloud that can happen, although at least you usually have a second copy to try, as I explained above.

In theory you could write a program or script to copy the save files out to some other location on a regular basis, so you'd have some earlier save to go back to. but that's no use to you now, sorry!
