daldingo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm just trying to understand why this continues to happen? I've never lost a save before this update, and my saves have vanished twice now. I'm using steam, and I would just like to know how to stop this from happening. This is a truly joy sucking problem, and I can't help but be super rustled over it.

LtShinySides Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Maybe disabling Steam Cloud will work? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/9200-saves-keep-disappearing/#findComment-79954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SardaTFK Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 A crash ate my saves and unlocked chars, probably something to do with the hotfix.

Silvi Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I already learned from my mistakes and I back up my saves every day after I finish playing. Gonna keep doing it till the official release of the game.

Silvi Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Maybe it depends on where you have steam installed. I have it on a separate hard disc along with other games...

I have it on the same harddisk as the system, but the games and steam have another partition.I have steam on a plug-in harddrive, yes. Another reason MIGHT be disabling and enabling steamcloud a bunch of times. There are people who experience problems with steamcloud in general, not only in relation to DS and I'm not sure if that issue was ever explained. Personally I disable steamcloud because it slows down the shutdown of steam too much for me.

I don't think the registry will like that.It works fine tbh, never had a probelm with it. mind you, I never tried switching on steam with the external drive unplugged, that would be an unfun idea...

cattafett Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 don't know if this helps but i play another game that uses the steam cloud (X3 terran conflict dead is dead) which had the same problem of saves being lost/not working. the workaround they found over there isAfter you quit the game, make sure to Quit from the Steam layout/app in order to force a Cloud Sync.i don't have much hope of this being fixed as steam still say the problem is at egosofts (the people that make X3) end Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/9200-saves-keep-disappearing/#findComment-80276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
