1/3/2024 0 Comments Old habits die hard witcherI figured maybe because I had so many saves locally, Steam wasn’t able to save anything to its cloud, and for some reason wasn’t telling me this was a problem. This is because I had played the game back in 2015, so I had 80+ hours of saves from 2015 - 2016, and then when I started replaying the game this year, even more saves from then. I play RPGs by saving a lot, maybe too much, but I hate losing progress, and in a game like the Witcher 3 where a lot of quests have variable endings, I like to give myself lots of options to go back to older saves to see different endings.Īll these saves were taking up a ton of data, it turns out (like…2 GB!). I noticed one thing right away: there were a TON of saves in that folder. This is just one hour of saves from 2015. For me, the box was checked, but it said it was only using a few kilobytes of data. You do this by right-clicking on the game’s title in your Steam library, selecting “Properties,” and then under the “Update” tab, ensuring that the Cloud Synchronization checkbox is checked. Looking at Your Steam Cloud Savesįirst, I double-checked that cloud saves were actually on for the Witcher 3. One frequent issue is uploading saves from the Switch to Steam, which some people say is a network issue, but I didn’t really see any issues about downloading. I had done a fair amount of research before buying the game about potential issues with cross-saves. I logged in successfully, but much to my dismay, I didn’t see any available saves to load. There’s an item on the main menu called “Cloud Saves.” You log into GOG or Steam via the Switch in-game, and then can download or upload cloud saves. So, I bought a copy of the game on my Switch and loaded it up. I have no interest in playing a long story-driven game like the Witcher 3 on multiple platforms unless cross-saving is possible, and, thankfully, it is supported between the Switch and Steam using Steam Cloud saves. We’re also about to have a baby, so I am intrigued by the possibility of playing The Witcher 3 on my Switch and taking advantage of the portability and ability to instantly close out a game by putting the console to sleep, which seems useful when a baby demands immediate attention at the drop of a hat. I’m taking my time, doing quests I never did the first time around, and hopefully will actually finish the game and play the expansions. This year I got back into the game and am re-playing it. I loved it so much I would get up at 6 AM and play it before I had to go to work. I got it in 2015 a few months after it was released and played it for 80+ hours, which is a lot for me in recent years. The Witcher 3 is one of my favorite video games.
