Introduction

So, you have multiple computers you want to play DS3 on, but the game doesn't support Steam Cloud sync, so what can you do?

Well there's a fairly simple command line that makes it possible when combined with OneDrive.

Requirements

Requirements:
Windows 8, 8.1, 10
OneDrive
Two Computers
Internet Connection

Steps

Steps:

1. Locate your DS3 save files. They should be in:

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII

2. Locate your OneDrive folder. Should be:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\OneDrive

3. Backup your DS3 save data, make a copy of it on the desktop or somethin. This will prevent your folder being overwritten with blank data from the new computer if something were to go wrong.

4. Open Notepad to get your command(s) typed out before you have to enter them.
Copy the following:

mklink /J  “C:\Users\<USERNAME>\OneDrive\DarkSoulsIII” “C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII” 

Change the <USERNAME>s to your username for your computer (not steam).

5. Open Command prompt.
Start button
Search for or Run
cmd.exe

6. Copy and Paste your command from notepad into Command prompt and it should run immediately as soon as you paste it.

7. Go to Computer #2 make sure DS3 is installed and you've run it at least once.

8. Repeat steps #1 and #2

9. Delete the DS3 Save folder on Computer #2.
i.e. “C:\Users\james\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII”

10. Repeat steps #5 and #6 on Computer #2

11. Startup DS3 on Computer #2 and press continue game.
Start dying!

I just set this up and played on PC #2. Then I went back up to PC #1 to see if my save file updated. It did not. Is there something I need to do to refresh onedrive or something else?

@DryHummus you may have to delete/move the folder/files that are already there on the second computer (back them up first if there's anything there)

[DryHummus]

I'm having trouble with the second computer whenever I retype the command. "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." is the error message I get. Please let me know if there's a solution to this

And even if they did, they recommend you backup your saves somehow as well.

[Gespenst Gaming]

No you won't, this is just backing up your saves, From Software has no way to know you're doing it.

[JonoL]

just wondering if you would get softbanned from doing this?

Razer is good if you like spyware

Razer Cortex is a good program to use for backing up saves to Google Drive or Dropbox
