what is the Cloud warning? And how do I fix it?

[Dansky]

The game gives you a warning to change user save file because of cloud conflict, and says it wont run properly, but doesn't say how to change it. Please help.

I think this is an issue with steam, and nothing to do with the game.

Not entirely sure what, if any, data this game is storing in the cloud (Maybe subscribed mod list? No idea) but if you force it to launch the game it should play perfectly fine.

Issue should resolve itself after a while or maybe after the next steam update.

If it's persistent then Nadeox will probably show up and help you

Thanks for the response Thomas. Its a warning in the top right corner when you first start the game. just had some troubles loading replays and I thought it may be due to cloud conflict warning. All good though, thanks again.

Usually occurs when userfolder is in a cloud save (e.g. OneDrive)

It should preferably be local (Documents folder). I believe the errors occurs when there is a save in both? Not entirely sure

Nadeox may be able to help further if you still need assistance, as I have never had this issue myself so I'm not 100% sure how to fix it. Although I'm pretty sure the support tools in the launcher/posts in the forums have sufficient information

SInce the error is showing in game and not in steam, it might be worth making sure that your BeamNG folder is stored in documents.

If you have OneDrive enabled, make sure it does not back up the BeamNG folder.

This is correct.
It's not an error, but it's more of a warning.

The game stores your mods and personal settings in Documents/BeamNG.drive by default (Userfolder).
If you use Windows 10 and you have OneDrive enabled, your Documents folder is constantly sync with the OneDrive cloud.

This can be problematic, as files can get locked and become unnaccessible when the sync happens, and it's not a good idea to have that for game files.

That message should be explaining you how to change your Userfolder location, to a different one. In general, from Launcher > Manage User Folder.
From there, simply choose a different location that is not Documents / OneDrive folder.

Thanks for the feedback all. I only run Onedrive if I feel the need to back up files, otherwise I have it off, so I think it should be ok. I found when i had trouble loading the replay, I had to make sure I hit stop on the one I had been watching previously. Thanks again guys, If I get any problems I will know what to do.

Then why, Nadeox1, did Steam decide to warn me about this after 4 years of playing the game? I received the faulty sync warning yesterday but my Steam had no issues with anything before then.
