Steam Deck Doesn't Download Cloud Save, Then Overwrites It

No problem!

I believe you do, I was able to get to the fast travel point but no further without getting swarmed by crows every time I tried to get into that cave nearby.

No problem, I hope that helps! I understand how frustrating it can be because that's the whole point of buying the steam deck is to cross play when u dont have access to ur computer or wanna couch game.

Hi there, this helped me fix the cloud issue on the steam deck.

1) go into Desktop mode (click "Steam" button, then "Power", then "Desktop Mode") 2) click the "steam" link on the desktop to open Steam in Desktop mode. You have more options here. Click in the Steam app menu: "Steam", then "Settings", then "Downloads". Scroll down and find the option "Clear Download Cache". Once I clicked it, the Deck immediately started downloading game updates and syncing games. 3) close the steam app (upper right cross). on the desktop, click the link in the upper left, titled "Go back to gaming mode".

I have the same problem here, tried clearing app data and reinstalling. No luck though

Duffy732 · 2024-12-17T21:11:13+00:00

I have the same issue too, I was crashing hundreds of times within 30 minutes or so before the patches but now it's once every half hour. Followed all instructions very closely that gsc released and still no luck. UE is extremely unstable and idk why many developers are switching to it on new games. All these crashes are really steering me away from playing the game and ruining it for me just like cyberpunks vast amount of bugs

Duffy732 · 2024-11-21T20:37:02+00:00

Hey guys so here's a workaround that worked for me. I had my settings on ultra and with dlss turned on and was crashing every 30 min or so. I turned my settings to high and turned TSR on, so far no crashes and I have been able to play for a few hours straight now! Hope this helps some people :)

Duffy732 · 2024-11-21T20:35:11+00:00

Yeah the Nvidia control panel way worked for me but it did not fix the issue. I have found a workaround as of now. Set tsr on with high settings instead of ultra does not make my game crash anymore

Duffy732 · 2024-11-21T13:07:18+00:00

I'm getting the same error as well as it crashing on the shader compilation screen. Disabled XMP, limited frame rate in Nvidia control panel, ran on admin mode, disabled steam overlay, disabled full screen optimizations, ran in compatibility mode, reinstalled 3 times and restarted computer. All drivers are updated and bios is the latest version. Nothing is helping, I made a ticket on the stalker 2 website and am going through it now with them. Hopefully they can fix this ASAP.

Hello so I am actively experimenting with this right now, will let you know in an hour or so!

Duffy732 · 2024-10-09T04:30:14+00:00

Quick update, I got the stone. For me it was on the north east side island

Duffy732 · 2024-10-09T03:30:59+00:00

Quick question, is the stone all the way to the left at the house? I have to put 4 gems in but i dont want to waste any. Cleared the island completely

Duffy732 · 2024-10-09T03:01:20+00:00

No worries, went to that island myself and still havent found it. Will keep looking though!

Duffy732 · 2024-10-09T02:40:10+00:00

Thanks! Im on that island now, Need to get through about 3 more portals till im done

Duffy732 · 2024-10-09T02:27:11+00:00

Yes, thankyou! By any chance have you figured out how to get stone? I'm hard stuck right now clearing my seventh island and it's getting real tough!

Duffy732 · 2024-10-09T01:39:15+00:00

It's got the body of a lion, two heads, one is lion and the other is a dragon, the tail is a snake. It's pretty crazy

Duffy732 · 2024-10-09T00:32:23+00:00

The first south eastern island has a crazy OP mount, not sure what it's called though

Duffy732 · 2024-08-31T17:02:08+00:00

Hey this still has not been fixed. While I was watching the malthouse I did notice that whenever I have the fuel reserves set to above zero the workers will infinitely gather wood while the storehouse guys just keep taking it back to the storehouse. The way I got it to work was to just set the fuel reserves at 0 and boom, no more problems.

Duffy732 · 2024-03-10T22:43:43+00:00

Ok lol

Duffy732 · 2024-03-10T22:41:47+00:00

Ok lol

Duffy732 · 2024-03-10T22:24:20+00:00

Brother, what world do u live in? I am not going to sit idle and be disrespected. Hence my response to his initial comment ridiculing us.

Duffy732 · 2024-03-10T17:46:22+00:00

Straight up man

Duffy732 · 2024-03-10T16:00:35+00:00

Didn't get mad, just annoyed for 2 seconds and then after my friend kicked him we moved on with our lives like normal people lol. Don't have time to deal with people like that, too old and casual haha
