No Man’s Sky Cloud Save Stuck at 68% – Can’t Sync or Recover. What do I do?

Hi, my name is Tadeu, I'm an independent consultant and a Microsoft Xbox user just like you.

I'm here to help.

I hope everything is going well and thank you for reaching out.

This support is intended to answer questions about the use and configuration of devices.

I'm sorry you're having this issue with Man's Sky.

1 Try these troubleshooting steps.

2 Restart your computer and the Xbox app.

3 A simple restart usually resolves temporary issues.

Check your Xbox Game Pass subscription.

4 Make sure your subscription is active and your payment information is up to date.

5 Check for game updates in the Xbox app. Outdated versions can cause syncing issues.

Test your internet connection. A weak or unstable connection can disrupt syncing.

Try launching the game with administrator rights. This may help resolve permission issues with save files.

Please note that this is a public forum only. I will respond as soon as possible, and I apologize in advance for any delay in responding. I'm just a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others. I'm not a Microsoft employee.

Best regards.

Ah, yeah may be a display issue in No Man's Sky then, which if so, I would let Hello Games know that the save date and times aren't displaying correctly, when you have the time to of course. (Contact - No Man's Sky)

I asked about the Cloud saves on PC and the answer to me was: Right now, as it stands with Cloud saves, you can't force update them on PC because you cannot access the cloud saves on PC and there is not an existing user interface to do so.

Safe Travels,

Just to make sue I understand...Are you connected online?

The Xbox One will automatically sync your saves to the cloud unless you're not online...with the latest save.

Per the link below or in your own words....what happened to the save?

support.xbox.com/.../manage-cloud-saves

-Error: “We couldn’t sync your info with the cloud.”

-Error: “Your other Xbox is taking a long time to sync to the cloud.”

-Message: “Which one do you want to use?”

-Error: ”We can’t save additional info for…”

Just in case,

If your local files, are there any that represent the date on your save file that should be represented there? Are your local save files saved in C:\XboxGames\No Man's Sky? And just to make sure, do you have more than one save game in No man's Sky? I'm checking some info on cloud saves on my end but it may take a bit until I get an answer, but as soon as they answer me I'll shoot what I find your way.

Thanks,

This moderator is clearly copying and pasting old data from the Xbox One days. This troubleshoot doesn’t work on Xbox Series X or S consoles.

“Cloud saved games” isn’t an option anymore.

I can’t find how to force a cloud sync. I can’t play Starfield on my other console in another room because the data won’t sync.

What’s the point of cloud saving if it doesn’t actually save???
