Problem with cloud saved game

I have installed game on another PC but I have no saved game folder there. Only save_cache file and settings.ini which is fine consisting configuration to continue saved game, but as I said there are no files to load.

Exactly the difference between the frist PC and the secondary is that there are missing these three folders - Homes, save_checkpoint and save_data.

So is it application or some steam problem, don't you know?

Thanks in advance

When you booted up Rock God Tycoon on your second PC it should have asked you if you want to pull from Steam cloud. If it didn't, I can't do much else other than suggest you use a flashdrive to transfer your save files across.

It didn't. So I copied the files to directory manually as you suggested and it works fine. However I am bit curious whether it synchronize backwards when I go to online mode because I am playing offline on the second pc at the moment so my girlfriend can play fallout from my account. I will let you know what happened.

Anyways thanks for such a quick response.

Absolutely and do let me know! I'm fairly certain the Steam cloud system only works when you are online. But if I'm being honest I likely understand it about as well as any other user.

So I am back with the new info. As I mentioned yesterday I played RGT in offline mode on the laptop and I got to the early months of year 4 with my band.

This morning I went online in steam on this laptop and I saw in library list it was synchronizing. Then I started my primary desktop PC, opened steam and waited to synchronize and launched game. It did not have any effect because last saved position is from year 2 of my band exactly right there where I started to play offline on my laptop.

At the end I checked saved files in local appdata and only file that is synchronized is settings.ini, because it has same date of modification on both computers from today when I launched steam on desktop PC.

So is there any way to force steam to synchronize other files and folders? Could not be problem in some flags that shows steam which files and folders to be stored in cloud and then pulled to local appdata? I am not sure how that works so I am just asking because you mentioned that steam should ask whether I want to pull files from steam cloud.

Thanks in advance for answer, have a nice day.

I just made a minor change to the Steam Cloud configurations that should allow it to scan for subdirectories. I don't recall if it was disabled or not before but this may change it. Beyond that I have no further advice unfortunately. You can test the Cloud changes at any time.
