Save data not syncing with cloud?

[chricadic]

I just got a steam deck for Christmas and figured this would be a good game to revisit. Upon installing the game and trying to play it on the steam deck, it looked like I had to start completely over. I was a little nervous that I lost my save game so I reinstalled it on my PC and went to play it. It told me the save files conflicted, so I took the one that was older from my PC. I started the game up on my PC and sure enough, my save game is still there. I then tried again to start the game on my steam deck. It once again started from the very beginning, like I had never played the game before. I ensured that I have the "Enable Steam Cloud" on the steam deck and it even shows "STEAM CLOUD: UP TO DATE" when I select the game on the steam deck, however, it does not appear that it is using the correct save file.

I will keep digging around in the meantime, but was curious if anyone has experienced this and how they went about fixing it? Thank you!

Edit: I realize this should probably go in the support/issues area, but didn't think about that until after I posted this. Sorry about that.

Alright, as I said, I was going to keep digging around. Maybe this is common knowledge, but I did not know about it. It sounds like it may be a compatibility issue due to the OS? Anyways, I found this resolution on reddit that seems to have done the trick - https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/vgszzn/fix_for_pc_steam_cloud_saves_not_showing_up_on/
