Turn off cloud sync to avoid bug
Just lost about 2h of progress (RIP my bard) because game would never sync, so I was unable to save. Turn it off to avoid losing your progress as well

The Devs stated Days Ago, that you should have Deleted All of your EA saves to avoid issues with Launch saves and Not Syncing

Lots of people, including me, did just that. This bug has nothing to do with the EA saves.

How does the bug work? Are you unable to save at all or are you saving and then cloud saves get corrupted?

I never played the EA, this is a clean install.

You get your first autosave when the game starts and then the "Sync Cloud Save" just spins forever, doesn't let you save, and no more autosaves are created.

It's not a bug, Its ~500k players all trying to upload their saves to Larian's servers at the same time

Larian apparently didn't account for this many people playing at once and it is crippling the Cross Platform Saves server so your saves take forever and a day to sync if they sync at all

The only Dev side "fixes" is to allocate more servers to the processing of the Cross Platform save system so that the servers currently allocated to it can get some relief and stop melting

The only Player "fix" is to disable cross platform saves (pc - console saves) until Larian gets better servers going or demand on the servers drops

The saves do not go through, it says that the syncing is not working, none of the saves work. A sad problem to have, hoping it gets resolved soon, but for now it's better to just disable cloud saving

Quick saves does not work either i'm assuming? If this is the case it's probably some server issue. Probably something to do with cross-saves. Trying to save it to a cloud but being overloaded.

No it's probably to do with there being half a million people trying to sync to a server designed for about 30..

My advice.. disable cloud save. Save manually, wait a few weeks/months for larian to fix the problem.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's steam, not the game, cause I have been having random cloud saving problems for weeks now in different steam games.

The game just don't let me save anyway. I disabled ALL the ways to cloud save and still can't save. It just keeps trying to sync with the servers.

You can't save or even autosave because it says that it's waiting for the game to sync. But the game never syncs, no matter what you do, so you end up having to close the game
