Cloud Save doesn't work for Multiplayer games
Played with a friend yesterday for a few hours, wanted to continue today from a different PC, but the saves are not there.

Was your friend the host? They would have to load the world.

If your friend is the host, then yeah it's normal.

I was the host, so I assumed the saves would sync for me, but they didn't.

Saves are host-specific. Your friend needs to host and you need to connect to be able to play that same character. The saves don't sync otherwise.

However, I discovered that you can play any MP character in SP if you just copy the save folder from the MP directory to the SP directory.

Well, I was hoping I could use any of my PCs to play this without the hussle of transferring saves manually. Not sure why the game advertises cloud saves, when they don't work.

Just checked, and it doesn't work for single player saves either...

When I go to the game properties on Steam it says that 0 bytes are stored in the cloud for this game...

Did you ever Save? there is no autosave

I have 2 saves in single player, and 10 in multiplayer on my main machine. None of the are available on another PC of mine or in GeForce Now. So either this game does not support cloud saves at all, or the feature is broken...

Confirming same issue; no save files being uploaded to cloud according to steam, and my save file on desktop does not show on my laptop (and vice versa).
Yeah my friend couldn't continue the save when he was host. Twice.

same here. I host the multiplayer game, tried to continue it on my laptop, and it's not there. But, my single player save is on both computers
Szymciak Feb 25, 2023 @ 1:58am 
Interesting, for me neither of modes savegames sync...

I have the same problem. The saves aren’t uploading to the cloud.

Sounds like it just isn't using cloud saves.

You'd have to manually move the save files from one PC to another.

You could use a USB or Cloud storage of your own to do that, pretty easy.

I think cloud save is a basic feature tho, what the hell is going on that cloud save isn't implemented?

It's like Endnight works only in the year 2000 sometimes, having to go manually save at certain points in the game instead of a live save. It's silly an creates so many exploitable moments.
