In game progress doesn't transfer between PCs

[Tadici]

I was in Australia for a couple of months and there I started playing the game and unlocked all characters and most achievements. But now, that I'm back home, it's like I never played the game! I still have my Steam achievements, but all my in game progress is lost.

I assume there is no way to get my progress on my computer?

Did you make sure to bring over Prefs.ini and Save.ini?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Risk of Rain

[Tadici]

Honestly, I didn't think about that at all. The only game I also played was Binding of Isaac and I didn't have to bring over anything...

Guess I'll have to get all the unlocks again.

Thanks!

You could modify the save files. You can find the save values on the wiki.

[Tadici]

Yeah, I found it. Thanks a lot!

Wow, it's almost as if files from one computer don't magically get transferred to ever other computer on earth.

First of all. That's no reason to be a ♥♥♥♥ about it.

And second. My safe files of The Binding of Isaac were transferred via Steam when I went to Australia and what reason would I have not to expect the same thing from Risk of Rain?

It's almost like Valve have a feature in Steam that does exactly what's being suggested. As someone who's starting to set up a living room PC, I agree, Steam Cloud support would be very welcome.

You probably figured this out by now, but not every games uses Steam Cloud. A way to check if a game uses Steam Cloud is to open the properties of the game, go to the Update tab, there should be a Steam Cloud section below Automatic Updates (and Background Downloads). Even then, I like to backup my saves, if possible, just because I'm paranoid.

Not every games has their save files in steamapps. Sometimes they are in your user/documents(Terraria, Rogue Legacy, Bleed, etc) and I believe some games also goes in your user/appdata.

That was my first and only time as of yet that I used Steam on another PC. I haven't thought of Steam Cloud at all. But thanks!

I'll make sure to check that the next time!
