Cloud save... Hours lost.

[Plyply]

Like seriously? I finally got time to really get into this game this weekend and absolutely love it. Till the cloud sync bug.
A bug this serious should have a notice or something pop up on the launcher.
What a BUZZ KILL.

Do you really need to use cloud saves?

BG3 is stable for me, but i turn cloud save off, because in case of crash, i have to wait some sec, until steam is done. If its off, i can start the game instantly.
It has it downsides. I killed my Deep Rock Galactic save. That hurt.

Ouch.

I have my Steam Cloud off for games which create large savegames. For such like Deep Rock Galactic or Monster Hunter where I care about the save game a lot I make manual backups. I do not trust Steam Cloud Services enough not to expect it to botch my save games in a failed synchronisation.

Just disable it, it's still saves on your computer. Steam Cloud is just if you want to easily transfer save data to a another pc. Can still manually do it from your PC so not really a big deal unless it enables steam cloud again asking if want to load from pc or steam cloud. If then load from the Steam Cloud then your data will be lost on your pc. Rewritten with the steam cloud.

This thread occurs in every single game that allows cloud saves at some point or another.

Unless you NEED cloud saves because you play the game on more than one device, turn that **** off.

Personally, my advice is that even if you do need cloud saves, don't use the game's built in cloud save functionality. Set it up with a reliable, dedicated cloud service outside of the game. You're much less likely to have a cloud issue with a service for which cloud syncing is their primary business.

This happened to me and I switched it off, then on again and it was fixed.

Yeah, I own this game on both Steam ang GOG. Failed to synchronize my last save points except very early ones after my OS crashed badly. Lost over 50 hours playtime in tactical mode. All savegames before patch 4.1.1.369083. And no, i tried on off the checkbox for cloudsyncs and it did not really work. This is why cloud saves should work 100% and check the allowed number of savepoints at ever start of the app for issues. To the "Just disable it" users: if you dont need it, dont use it. I rather have this tideous copy and paste done automatically if i got the choice.
