How to transfer saves?

[Columbus]

Hi, I just got a new PC that can play this game way better than I did, but my save game isn't showing up. I have the steam cloud enabled for both in the Steam settings and for this game specifically. I even tried to copy the files over from my old PC to my new one. The save games on both PC's are the same name and they have all the same stuff inside the folders. So, I don't know why my save isn't showing up. Every other game I've tried I have all my old saves.

I think you need to disable Cloud Saving at fisrt start, maybe the game loads the cloud saves first and ignores local files - but I am not sure about this. Worth a try me thinks.

Not sure how cloud works but that will appently work. The save is stored in windows 10 ... my documents in a folder called Avalanche Studios. Copy whole folder and place in new documents should work also.
I would suggest also saving with the cotw backup tool in these pages on old computer. Also install it in new one and use that as back up.

What do you mean? I copied the exact save file from my old PC to my new PC and it's in the Avalanche Studios saves folders, but it's not showing up in game.

Ok, I got it. I turned the cloud saves off and copied both of the saves from both folders in Avalanche Studios, and it worked! Thank you guys!
