Cloud syncing

Open rileymacisaac opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Hey there,

I'm loving this, and it runs great. I even have mods working through Bepinex.

But I can't figure out how to get cloud syncing working at all. I managed to get my character loaded and working, but every time I close the game steam throws an error saying there is a conflict with the cloud sync.

Any advice or help would be awesome.

The file ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/logs/cloud_log.txt should contain information on Steam Cloud sync operations. Anything of note in there? (make sure to mask out any private data)

I have been having the same issue. I tried a few things, but eventually just disabled cloud sync, and I am now keeping character and world files saved locally.

I'm facing the same issue. I'd love to get Cloud Sync working because I play on my Mac and sometimes move to a different PC running windows. The logs file shows the following:

[SOLVED]

Ok another quick update. I've managed to get it working.

  1. I closed the game and Steam.
  2. I renamed ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<user-id>/892970 to ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<user-id>/892970.back
  3. I reopened steam and Valheim.
  4. I created a new character and a new world. This re-created the ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<user-id>/892970/characters and ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<user-id>/892970/worlds folders.
  5. I closed the game and checked the logs.

This triggered the new world and characters to be uploaded, the old ones to be deleted (although they weren't there anymore ?????)

I then

  1. Copied the characters I wanted from the .back folder to the new folder.
  2. Started Steam and Valheim.
  3. Checked the saves in game and for my newly copied characters clicked Restore in game.
  4. Made sure the saves are set to Cloud Save.
  5. Closed the game.

This triggered the upload for these characters:

I checked my cloud saves in the Steam website, and confirmed that the saves where there. I opened Valheim on the Windows PC and checked the saves. All there. I could load the characters :)

I hope this helps some other people.

@LunaticZorr This absolutely worked, great job! In hindsight I probably should have tried this haha, oh well.

Thanks for that!

Btw – not sure if it'll mess something else up later but I didn't have to copy the characters or worlds back over afterwards. They were all there and up to date.

Closing this issue as the official macOS client is now available! 🥳 (see #104)
