Steam Cloud

[GunRunner51]

Since steam getting updated on my rig I found that the setting/option to enable steam cloud synchronization... is now forced on. After disabling it, it re-enables the option everytime steam is restarted..
What is this, is steam now getting like W10 where things can't be turned off?
Never used steam cloud, never needed to.

You don't have to use it, but what's the harm in having a backup in the cloud? Doesn't matter how great your rig is, something can go wrong for whatever reason and it's always good to have backup saves.

I think it's a bug from their latest update. Hopefully they fix it soon.

It has a tendency of messing with save data of some particular games (i.e. some of the WWE games, Nickelodeon Kart Racers and Sunset Overdrive) plus has a tendency to fail and erase all data for others due to failed synchronizations as well.

Ok, hopefully a bug in settings.

because the cloud can RUIN saves. Cloud wrecked my 500 stardew valley saves, yes its suppose to ask "do you want to use cloud save" but it doesnt always. I have had it wreck my saves (go back weeks and weeks) w/o even asking, just did it.

I HATE cloud saves with a passion

Strange. Knock on the wood but never had an issue with cloud saves.

Hi guys,

I have exactly the same problem. I have also tested the BETA. Unfortunately without success. The cloud saves activate automatically after each restart. I have never used this feature as I always have and use a local backup of my games and savegames. What worked for me was that I manually disabled the cloud feature for each game. I hope this will be fixed soon. I agree with Rotan, I'm not a fan of cloud game saves either ;).

Hmm... I was under the impression that cloud saves are just a copy of your local save in case you loose them (ie, hard drive failure)

So basically all your saved games are stored on your computer and they are accesible even if you start steam in offline mode.

That's what I thought too.

Yeah, they get re-enabled, that's so annoying.

It's simple, i don't want them. Easy as that.

Still dealing with this ♥♥♥♥♥ being forced on in specific games even when disabling cloud save crap. Jesus christ.
Ever get the feeling that every tiny piece of software is now starting to force crap on you whatever it is?

It has been a problem for a while:

Yes but it causes a lot of issues when there are conflicts.

Some people like to play it safe and just back up their saves manually rather than have an automated system.

I know this is a few days old and probably apparent now, but I just checked the cloud settings and it didn't re-enable upon sign in / startup.

They pushed out another update last night to fix that.
