Steam Cloud keeps getting out of sync

[Lil Silly Vert]

After the recent Steam client update, it has caused all my installed games that uses Steam Cloud going out of sync and it happens on my main computer and other computers where I log in on my Steam. I haven't had this before the newest Steam client update. Is anyone having this issue too?

[elknapp26]

Yes

[JayXL]

Yes it's really annoying. I'm not sure what to do. I guess not play my games until they fix it? The warning that I will lose my save file is not encouraging.

[IFIYGD]

Yes, occasionally on the few games that I actually use Cloud saves on.

This just happened to me as I exited My Time At Portia- however at the same time on the Downloads bar at the bottom of the page, I had "No Connection" showing (even though my machine is connected to the internet and outside browser pages were working as expected).

I had to wait for Steam to reconnect and re-sync the save. No idea what caused the few other previous occurrences- I did not look to see if steam was showing as connected when they happened. Some were from yesterday, before today's latest Client update.

Oh, is that what it is.
I tried playing Destroy all Humans this morning - the game crashes once it gets to a sync screen.
Was perfectly fine and playable yesterday.

YES

Since yesterday every time I click on the "play" for one of my games I get a pop-up that says "Synchronizing Steam Cloud". The game will start but often the icon will appear in my task bar and I have to click on that icon to play. The only game (so far) that it has affected it Banished. Yesterday it crashed while loading and even the Task Manager would not shut it down. Had to reboot my computer. I've never encountered a problem like this and I am really a low tech person so I don't know what to do about this. If it is a Steam thing will they ever admit it and fix it? It's really annoying!

yes i have this similar problem. is there any petition for this error. since i seek a lot of people complaint about this. pretty ironic after get update. the update only give it bugs and make player unhappy.

Some games on my old computer refuses to work with syncing the Steam Cloud. it's a bummer that I cannot play Euro Truck Simulator 2 and other games anymore if it refuses to sync with the Steam Cloud. :/

[Tuittu]

This is still happening. My Subsistence cloud saves are out of sync.

Bunch of idiots demanded Valve to implement this utter garbage, braindead zombies just want everything plastered on the Library page, complete bloat, cant even disable it with a custom CSS script.

My account keeps getting the cloud sync renabled, which is causing me horrendous issues between differing computers and OSes that are very deliberately not sharing save game files, which steam wants to sync with... whatever logged in last.

This pissed me off when it first started happening long ago, and so I made extensive effort to always disable cloud sync anything.

I so wish there was a way to just disable it and keep it off. I can't even refuse to pay for the service since it's forced for free. I just wish for once some company would honor preferences and not override them because they know better based on ignoring the telemetry I can't opt out of providing.

I just want all of the old "cloud saves" ERASED and never reintroduced to a PC again unless I go out of my way to enable syncing, and then maybe have an enhanced option of "sync to this device only" so that the progress on other machines that totally aren't sharing the save games don't end up overwriting each other because I dared commit the crime of *not* pirating the software to run on multiple PCs.

It's like they have no concept about use case scenarios or contextual awareness of why someone might not want his years of progress ruined due to being automatically placed in the hands of guests who were graciously offered by me the chance to play some games to keep them out of trouble on a differnet computer than the primary one I use for gaming... It used to be that Ok I turn on the console and here do whatever you aren't going to ruin my save game progression.

But now, companies assume everyone wants their data to follow them everywhere and that its convenient for some reason to always have assumed preferenced forced down regardless of hardware, circumstance, connectivity, intention or reasoning or even who is pressing the fire button. Not like they even ask for such preferences.

But that's just me whining. My real gripe is that progress is lost because they think that I made a mistake when I disabled the cloud sync across everything I own. I'll turn it on when I want it on, and for the love of anyone that is lovely, I sure hope they introduce that 'sync on a device basis' option so that perhaps I can sync the deck and only the deck and nothing else and never risk progress loss on my real computers because I dared let some kid of a friend of mine's play a game on the deck and have him proceed to screw everything up and it get saved and synced automatically to the hardware I thought was safe.

I also have the same problem. Sometimes clicking on it and pressing "Retry sync" works, and sometimes not. I rarely care about sharing saves across different computers but it's a very annoying message regardless.
