I had a character (FL4K) at lvl 65 with 80+ hours behind of gaming
Recently there was a fast blackout in my house, during a Borderlands 3 gaming session
After that i opened the game and my character result corrupted (with the title “!Corrotto!” except of his name)
I have the PC copy for Epic Game Store, and i always save in Cloud
There is an opportunity to re-obtain my work back? It’s impossible that a single crash could easily throw away a LARGE amount of time for a game, i need it back
Here it is the screen of the gaming folders, (1.sav is FL4K, 2.sav is Zane, that i create just for prove)
I still have the character file, but why it’s impossible to play?
Thanks for the answers…

It looks like the save file got corrupted somehow - this can happen if there’s a power outage (which seems to be your case) or game crash during any file update (spinning vault logo on screen).
First, I’d strongly recommend copying the folder contents to a safe location before trying any of the following (both 1.sav, 2.sav, and profile.sav)
You could try temporarily removing the local copies of your saves and forcing the Epic client to restore from cloud. If the cloud version has already been updated to correspond with the local ones, though, you would still have a corrupted save.
Another possibility is if you have Windows incremental backups enabled on your saves folder, you could right-click on the folder and see if rolling back to an earlier version helped.
Do you have any sort of scheduled backup of your computer aside from the Epic cloud saves?
If short power interruptions or brown outs are something you experience regularly, I would also definitely look at getting a UPS for your gaming rig as future security. (And making regular local backups of your saves folder)

If you have OneDrive turned on on your windows, there should be a backup of the save files on OneDrive.
log into Microsoft OneDrive via their website, see if you can find the save files there,
there should also be older versions of the save files if the newest one doesn’t work
