Steam Cloud Saves?

Post by actrade »

I'm sorry if this has been covered already, but will cloud saves be available? I bought the game through Matrix and prefer not to use steam, but will if cloud saving is available since I play at home and on my work computer.

No plans currently, I asked a while back and got a response from Erik.

Ok thanks. Erik, just wondering is this due to save file sizes as I imagine they could get rather large?

We'll be looking into this after release, but we are not supporting cloud saves or other Steam features at release (other than the basics to allow Steam itself to work).

As a workaround for the time being you could use GeForce NOW cloud gaming.

So i'm going to dig up this super old thread to re-raise this question as we are long post-release. Why is this still disabled?

Based on steamDB, the logic is entirely there and setup, configured and ready to go... but "hidecloudui" is set to 1, so it doesn't work for players and we can't make it work. (You can see it configured here: https://steamdb.info/app/1531540/ufs/)

Is there a reason why hidecloudui is set? Was this causing tickets to be raised or something?

Same here, was wondering if this will at any point be implemented as me and all my friends to play on different computers throughout the week.
