Cloud Saves

[Lecivic]

I have a feeling something is wrong with the cloud saves,

1: in the discussion section here there are some comments about glitches/missing item ect when using cloud saves between 2 computers. I myself have not tried playing on 2 computers with cloud files so i can't back this one up. (yet)

2: i myself notice it takes a long time to upload cloud saves even with fast internet (1 gig)
When i check the steam cloud save is says Schedule 1 has 1038 files in the cloud save with a size of 949.89 KB. I only have 2 save files going on right now. I bet those high amount of files are the culprit of the long upload time.


1 other game that has this issue is Powerwash simulator, with 1 save file over 3000 files in the cloud, that one takes a long time as well.

in case you want to check your remote files you can see them here,
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage

Steam client has timeout and fetch limits.
Visit Steam cloud storage and find total number of files for "Schedule I"
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage
For example, it should be between 100 to 2000+
Go to save file location on PC where you want to sync.
Press Win + R to launch the Run utility.
Type %username%/AppData/LocalLow/TVGS/Schedule I into the box and hit Enter to open the folder directly
Check total number of files in folder - every sync from Steam creates 50-200 new files and you must press resync on Steam client as much as possible to reach the same number on your target PC.

There are 2 issues:
1. devs must learn how to pack save data into binary format to avoid this pain in a$$
2. Steam must fetch all files without timeout and limit per cloud sync

I tested this solution on GFN, Boostdroid and my local PC.
P.S. I had the same issue before with multiple games, just keep press "cloud sync"

Just adding to the discussion here, I've been playing quite a bit the last 3 days on my Steam Deck. Says cloud saves are up to date. When I hop on my desktop, I get an entirely different save point. I'm in the same room, looking at the same spot, but completely different inventory, plants are ready for trim (in the correct save there are no plants cause I ran out of soil) and my packaging station has completely disappeared. I've even got a couple experimented strains sitting in my inventory that I got rid of a long time ago.

My home screen and save file there show exactly the same thing though, $37k net worth on both, 12 hrs played. Not sure what's up, but I hope they figure out a fix.

This is because devs create 1000+ files for every world object: cars, rooms, inventory, actions, etc. in the game. Therefore, you should erase the target save folder "%username%/AppData/LocalLow/TVGS/Schedule I", which you plan to synchronize with Steam cloud.

I found a temporary solution- instead of opening the game on my laptop, I open it on my pc, then in my laptop i go to the steam library, choose the game and change from "play" to "stream".
then the game play and save always on my pc, but I can still play it from my laptop.

Nice one. I will give it a try.

But I have to keep my PC on, and try it from office laptop.

What I do right now, is copy the local save file after every session and move it to the other machine.

I paste it then I open steam and sync.

I get same progress exactly.
Otherwise, different inventory, and things will be upside down.

Yes mine is bugged between my laptop and desktop, they didn't sync saves even though steam said it was up to date so idk. Im just making manual copies when I travel between PCs atm.

How would you get a manual save?

Same has happened to me a couple times as well, and I only play on one device... I'm guessing it has to do with sync issues with the cloud saves. I need to check to see if I can select an option to only save locally.

i reported a bug earlier but its definitely due to the cloud save. Its almost like its combining my old local save and my cloud save into one game because my pot plants are inside each other and i cannot trim them or move them lol. And I'm on the same PC I've been playing on. When i went to load into the game it made me pick between cloud save or local save. I picked cloud save and it's all messed up.
