Got A Second Steam Deck - Saves Won't Sync

[Atommic]

hey guys,

For context, I bought a steam deck and got all of my games set up and saves were synced just fine. But recently I was able to buy a second one, and when I tried to run my games on the new deck, they didn't have any save data. I also tried this with some Epic games through Heroic Launcher. My sd card had a few games that I tried to import, but they also didn't have any saves synced up. Anyone know how I can fix this? Is it possible to move Epic game data from one deck to another?

Thanks

Are you using the same account on the second deck?

Let me know how this works out because my steam deck got stolen so now I'm waiting for another one and I don't want to purchase if this is a known issue.

I think he just copied the game files from steam folder and did not think about the save data. There is no issue. It all works for me.

Don’t want to get too off topic here… how did yours “get stolen”?
