Corrupted save data due to power loss.
Here is what happened: after receiving the Mission 22 debriefing, the power cut out during the loading screen that appears before the aircraft selection menu.

Please implement a system for additional backup saves, at least for the campaign. As the title explains, I lost my progress due to a power outage; when I launched the game, it prompted me to create new data, but this synced with Steam and I couldn't recover my save from the cloud. Just as the game creates replay files, it could also create multiple backup save files to prevent this issue.

For now, and for those reading this, I would recommend performing a manual backup.

Have you tried checking your steam cloud to see if you have a usable save there?

That was one of the first things I tried; unfortunately, the saved game is from a point after the new data was created, so it doesn't have any records of the previous data.

EDIT:
As an aside, I should mention that mission replay data was indeed saved up to mission 22, but the game automatically deletes it, stating that it is incompatible with the current version; I assume it doesn't match the records of a new campaign, which is why it gets discarded.
