Fallout 3 GOTY cloudsync EGS <-> Heroic mismatches.

I'm having some puzzling behaviour getting savegame syncing between EGS on Win7 and Heroic on PopOS with Fallout 3 GOTY, (running Wine-GE-Proton8-13). some of the savegames sync over but not all of them. I can include log files but it's mostly messages about no savegames matching the filter.

please provide the game log and also a sync log

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

I don't seem to be able to find the sync log location for win7, uploading linux sync logs now this is the log from Heroic client on PopOS: https://paste.debian.net/1303483/ I notice the "--skip-upload" line there immediately this is Fallout3 Global game log (from Settings -> logs -> Fallout3) on linux/PopOS: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/4361cc82/

can you show a lot attempting to upload/download a save from the cloud save sync screen?

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

this is the log popup after loading the game, opening the cloudsynced saves on PopOS (win7>PopOS) creating a new savegame and exiting and then running manual upload: https://paste.debian.net/1303486/

Within /home/loki/Documents/My Games/Fallout3/Saves, is there a long hex numerical folder?

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

like the game UID? No, there's a few config files like fallout3.ini etc I think wine is splitting the install between the prefix and this folder specifcally for saves

variable-lime•2y ago

can you go to the matching folder in Windows to see what's supposed to be there? right, that's expected I'm looking more for the User ID some games do that

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

there was some sort of "Bethesda ID" I saw fly by in one of the log files btw

variable-lime•2y ago

and PC Gaming Wiki doesn't reflect info about the user ID in the save files a lot of the time

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

win7 just contains savefiles yea I'd noticed that as well I'm about to launch it on win7 now to see if the PopOS created savegame has propogated across

variable-lime•2y ago

for clarity, is Win7 using the actual EGS launcher?

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

Yup exactly. so just launched and exited EGS version on win7, no new save from the linux side, my guess so far is the heroic / linux side is not uploading the cloudsync saves correctly.

variable-lime•2y ago

show a screenshot of your cloud save sync screen please

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

from which OS?

variable-lime•2y ago

Linux

hey @termdisc any idea where to add this disable-filters bit:

[Core] INFO: No files to upload. If you believe this is incorrect run command with "--disable-filters"

[Core] INFO: No files to upload. If you believe this is incorrect run command with "--disable-filters"

in heroic?

within the .../Fallout3/Saves/ folder, you should have *.fos files it could be an error depending on what folder is supposed to be synced I am also getting a similar error:

I tried running that back up to the Fallout3/ folder, but it's the same error. I tried quickly searching the legendary github to see where the filters may be maintained, but I didn't get very far in my hunt in adeae8bbfc94427db57c7dfecce3f1d4.json, I came across this:

      "CloudIncludeList": {
        "type": "STRING",
        "value": "falloutprefs.ini, *.fos"
      },
      "CloudSaveFolder": {
        "type": "STRING",
        "value": "{UserDir}/My Games/Fallout3/Saves/"
      },
      "FolderName": {
        "type": "STRING",
        "value": "fallout3"

      "CloudIncludeList": {
        "type": "STRING",
        "value": "falloutprefs.ini, *.fos"
      },
      "CloudSaveFolder": {
        "type": "STRING",
        "value": "{UserDir}/My Games/Fallout3/Saves/"
      },
      "FolderName": {
        "type": "STRING",
        "value": "fallout3"

editing the first value to be "falloutprefs.ini,*.fos" (i.e., deleting the space) makes it seem to work

I'll test this out tonight and let you know this would be found in /home/loki/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/GamesConfig/ correct? nevermind I seem to have found it under: /home/loki/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/legendaryConfig/legendary/metadata/

variable-lime•2y ago

yep that's the one I honestly don't know if I'm breaking it or fixing it because the filter is set up for both the ini and the fos files, and they are in two different folders

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

oh the normal save folder contain's both for me I made the change late last night, testing it out today, if this works we should probably file a bug report / pull request @termdisc seems to be working now! Save numbering is differing between installs but that's just QOL thing.

variable-lime•2y ago

hopefully it holds and doesn't break. I'll lay out how I deduced this solution in case this comes up later. I opened up adeae8bbfc94427db57c7dfecce3f1d4.json to get the key values that I provided here. I then compared the CloudIncludeList against the ones from 20XX (Quail.json) and Enter the Gungeon (Garlic.json). I noticed that 20XX and Gungeon's CloudIncludeList values didn't have any spaces while FO3 did. with a comma-separated list, it probably strictly searched for <space>*.fos, but no file begins with a space

@termdisc sad news, I updated Heroic and now it seems sync's aren't working from win (EGS)-> popOS (Heroic) anymore

variable-lime•2y ago

Post a new log

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

which OS side?

variable-lime•2y ago

Linux

ratty-blushOP•2y ago

this was from a 'Force Download' in Heroic https://paste.debian.net/1303970/

ratty-blushOP•16mo ago

sorry I should have followed up on this, I think it's syncing correctly now. re-poking on this one because I'm fixing the workstation I switched over to heroic too, just removed the space again from the metadata file. can't seem to get it to sync saves no matter what now
