Heroic may have overwrote GOG cloud save
Hello, I had a saves for the game Prey on GOG from my PC and were trying to get them to sync and work with heroic. It kept saying the sync was successful when trying to download or force-download but the saves wouldn't show up in game. It also would say like 33 files in cloud, 33 local when syncing.
I figured out that the folder was wrong and manually changed it to the right save game folder and synced again. The game would still not show any saves so I just started a new game, saved as soon as I could and synced again. However, my old saves now disappeared from the cloud and the new ones are there, can't get them locally from PC as I opened the game and it synced. Now the sync says 5 files in cloud, 5 local.
Is it possible that download sync or force download sync will delete my old saves on GOG cloud? Can this be a bug? Thought only an upload will delete the old saves. Maybe the folder it was first using has the old 33 files from when I synced but no idea where that may be now lol.

so I just started a new game, saved as soon as I could and synced again"Sync" figures out which copy (local/cloud) is newer and updates the older one. Since you just started a new game locally, that save is newer, so syncing uploads your local save Since the log said "33 files in cloud, 33 local when syncing", I'd assume the saves were downloaded successfully, but were not recognized by the game for some reason. For that, we'd need those files, the sync log, and a game log

Okay cool, will share the log later today when I get home
Thanks!
Doesn't seem like there's much logs left now or record of the 33/33 since I did it yesterday
or logs disabled for some reason for the game, not sure
@CommandMC I'm having another issue with cloud saves now. I have Dishonored Death of the Outsider on Epic Games. I started the game on Heroic/Steam Deck and it won't upload the save files for me to continue on my PC. If I do autosync on or download, it overwrites the local saves and I have to copy my backup back in.
I tried to do a force upload and it seems to say it succeeded but there are no saves on my PC when trying to play there.

Are you reproducing the issue in those logs? I don't see any mention of save sync activity there
Make sure to reproduce the issue & upload the log files right after that (without closing Heroic)

It seems to have worked now! Not sure what changed but I'm happy lol. Turned on autosync now and hope it will stay in sync
