steam cloud syncing

[Hertzaka]

Hello !
It seems that my saves does not sync between my legion Go and my PC... Steam cloud is doing his mumbo jumbo just before launching the game, but nothing is really synchronized ingame...

Am I the only one ?

Thx guys

Right, cloud saves don't appear to be working. My dream of playing on all my handhelds and PCs are out the window until this gets resolved (hopefully soon).

I think I found the issue.

The save I have locally was at

"C:\Users\%userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered"

The cloud saves were loading to

"C:\Users\%userprofile%\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered"

For some reason they are using the OneDrive in Windows 11. I was able to upload the right save to the cloud.

So what exactly does this mean? Do I need to copy/paste the save from onedrive to my local storage? Do I need to do this each time then I want to load up my cloud save on another machine then?

You need to move the saves from local to the dumb onedrive folder. From there, steam should take over and upload your stuff to their servers.

What I did was.
Disable steam backup for the game for both pcs
Create a test save on the other pc, to make sure a folder is created.
Delete said save.
Go to the original pc and load up the correct save. Save again.
Move that save to the one drive folder.

Re-enable cloud saves for both.
Load up the game on the second pc, wait for sync
Profit?

Once you do that, the cloud save SHOULD load on your portable device, but I haven't tested that part, just standard pcs so far. Linux may be different.

I lied. It seems to still not be working.
Cloud saves are still going to one drive when disabled, and if I rename onedrive, they don't download at all. Not sure if this can be fixed user side.

Same problem. PC saves didn't transfer to the steam deck. I hope they fix it soon.

+1 Cloud Save not working for me. Thanks to DevilsBane99 hint I was able to transfer the files manually but I hope this issue will be fixed soon, as cloud saving is still not working for me.

Same issue and manually moving saves on my onedrive pc is also the only way for it to work for now. Would a symlink work? I think waiting for them to patch is probably best.

All I've been able to figure out so far is that Oblivion is saving somewhere that isn't on the OneDrive or the Local Drive.

I created a new save file. The deleted all the saves from those previously mentioned folders and it was still able to load a save game.

I'm having the same issue. Cloud Saves were coming into my PC into `Home\OneDrive\Documents\Oblivion Remastered`, but Oblivion Remastered on my PC was creating _its_ saves in my `Home\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered`. The Steam Deck seemed to be doing things just fine.

To rectify this (at least until it gets fixed in a future patch!), I created a symlink/directory junction on Windows using the OneDrive folder as the source of truth (meaning I moved my saves from my Documents to my OneDrive documents). My home directory is `C:\Users\ben`, so that means...

```
mklink /J "C:\Users\ben\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered" "C:\Users\ben\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered"
```
