We are very close to release a game on Steam. Unfortunately, there is an issue. The Steam cloud save game does not synch between multiple PCs with the same Steam account. It works fine as long as I stay on the same PC. I can save, all is uploaded to Steam, then e.g. delete all local save files. When beeing on the PC where the savegame was saved, it downloads fine from Steam. But when installing the game on another PC, the save game is not synched. In the launcher, the cloud does synch and says all is ok. But that’s not true.
The achievements get synched fine. But the actual save game of the game does not. Anybody any idea what I’m missing?
I’m using Steam Core. SDK is set up, App ID, Steamworks, all is fine and configured. And as I wrote, all works fine, just not between two different PCs.
Hey @nobodysproduction
Could you provide a screenshot on what you’re doing exactly utilize the Steam Core? It sounds like its not communicating with the server properly.
Thanks!

This happens on Main Menu construct, which is the very first thing loaded, before everything else.
Additionally there is of course all the stuff with the SDK that has to be at the right place and so on. But I’m regularerly uploading builds, achievments are working. This should all be fine. Without having added the App-ID within the correct files and stuff, nothing would work.
I’m about to try and recreate your issue, but the only thing I could truly see from sight could be some kind of discrepancy between the saved and loaded files. I’m not entirely sure why, but that is my guess.
I hope this can help a bit, and I’ll get back to you!

Did you figure this out? I thought you didn’t have to have code in-game to load the Steam Cloud files? I thought Steam handles that before the game loads? I’m sure that’s what it says on their doc page
In this case, how does steam know which files to load or save? There is no way to define the folder or specific save game file outside of the game. Where can I define this then?
