PGN file doesn't show up all moves

If I upload my PGN file that I created from a physical over-the-board game, I only see the first two moves, even though all the notations are present in the file. How is that possible?

It is likely that you made a mistake in transcribing the file and the pgn cuts off where you tried to post an illegal move.

Why don’t you post the actual pgn file here?

1... c5 *

So you can see that the parenthesis enclosed your whole game within another game.

You just need to erase the 1.e4 part and the parentheses and the 1..c5 and it will show your whole game.

Although there is also an open parenthesis at move 13 that is confusing. You show Qd4 with ?? and then show a variation after Re2. You never went back to the variation with Qg4. Is Qg4 the end of the game?
