Ferg me - it overwrote my whole character play thru and save

[dbonzai]

Yesterday early on, I restarted my play thru. I manually deleted my local save files and turned off cloud. Played quite awhile with a new character and all was good.

Today I start my game up and it overwrote my game to that old save.

What a piece of garbage save system. @#$@$# u capcom.

Steam cloud issue?

[dbonzai]

Well I turned steam cloud saves off and double checked it is still off.

Just so retarded ist beyond understanding. that you in a modern pc game ( sorry its a console crap port.. capcom) you cant have several save files or restart.

Games 10-20 y old have better ui and better functions.

Only thing I did was update my nvidia driver and turn global cache to unlimited in nvidia settings. The shaders had to be re-compiled

The first Dragons Dogma is that old and that didn't have the ability to have multiple saves either. What in the world made you think this game would be different? (ಠ_ಠ; )

Not having multiple saves is understandable, but the original game DID have the ability to start over without having to turn off cloud saves and manually delete files through a "New Game" button in the main menu.

Its their capcom side server. There is a bunch of people including myself with the same issue. I played 8 hours, with cloud save off as I had deleted my first save at the start because I didn't like the character. The next day it somehow rolled over my 8 hour save with the original save I deleted. So my understanding is they have a server on their end that seems to re-push its latest save periodically even with steam cloud sync off.

Thats a particulary evil thing to do, Glad all teh early adopters of the early access game are working out all the bugs. Itll be great when it goes on sale at 50% off.

If it can help, did exactly the same thing but enabled cloud save once the character was made and into the first camp after the gryphon drop you, played for maybe 1-2 hour ( did a inn save and a couple of manuel save) and quit the game, came back after a little sleep and my new game booted up so you might have made a mistake somewhere.

Im thinking they didnt push their new game to the cloud like you did, thats likely the issue and why Capcom pushed the old cloud save over the new game.

[hOLDtHEdOOR]

what you want to do in this case the easy way. Start your new playthru offline make a save then go online with steam. When you start the game you should get a prompt that your cloud data does not match and select to play from your hard drive. That should prevent the cloud from overwriting your new game.

My understanding is that if steam cloud sync stays disabled after clearing a save, it will use their server side save instead, so re-enabling steam cloud sync seems to be required if you don't wanna lose your save.

I'm always open to having did something wrong and I may have. However, I did restart my game multiple times yesterday without issue and it loaded my "real" game.
