BEFORE
✅ Save your game. Users should save to the Cloud while being connected to the internet. Afterwards, close your game completely.
*If you run into issues Cloud saving, please try again!
✅ Update your game! Do not play offline while this completes.

AFTER
✅ After the game has updated, load the game, and save immediately before progressing. If using cross-save, we recommend opening the game on one device, saving and closing, and then opening your other devices and repeating this process.

✨ Once updated, the new Star Path is available for you from day 1.
🦁 Scar’s story arc is a story update. To enjoy it, you will need to have the Sunlit Plateau unlocked, & have completed “The Curse” quest which involves fixing the pillars of Friendship, Courage, Trust, & Power.

And, just to be sure, backup you local save:

Savegame location:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Gameloft\

USERNAME = Your Windows profile name

Can't access my save, it exists on another device on the same account while when I login in PC, it's gone and the game is new

Its never a good sign that:
1. It requires all this for a game update.
2. That its not actually posted in the news section or forum on Steam.

Anyway thanks for reposting it where it should have been to begin with.

If I understood right: the game will not automatically updated after midtnight? So it's possible to save to cloud before starting the new update?

When is the update available? Also, Cloud Save just doesn't work automatically for this update?

This is caused by cross play, not an update. If it was only on steam (or any single platform), this problem wouldnt exist. Everyone wants to be able to play with anyone on any platform, accept the problems that comes with it.

Think of this closer to a phone app game with cross data saving, rather than an actual PC game.

MOST companies, also dont use steam as their main communication line. However, I do agree here, as most companies just dont put in the small effort it would require to post here.

It's a precaution, there's nothing required of you to do. Literally just don't play the game while offline when the patch is being deployed. They could've been quiet about it and simply ignored all the failed migrations of people messing it up. They could've also taken away all agency from you as an adult and simply made the game unplayable for a whole day, but they didn't. They have a game with an online infrastructure that also uses offline data, so I think it's fair to assume that on a new patch data migration might not work properly if the server is using the newest update while you're offline and saving your game with the old structure on. I think it's fairly common sense in regards to patching.

If you have cloud save enabled, is saves on your local drive and to the cloud too. You can do a manual save if you open the esc-menu > settings > click on the left side "save". The game saves on exit too. It's telling you that in the little info box when you click exit.

Question, I did not orginially save my game as a cloud save. I saved it on my local drive. I now have created a cloud save account and saved my game but I do not know how to verify if it saved on the local or cloud. Of note, I only play on one platform. So do I require a cloud save?

Yes, I found saves there and 2 were from today. So is that a local save? Am I good then? Sorry not too computer savy.
