Cloud Saves not loading

[quote user="vikingland1"]Rule #1 in any RPG save often , cloud or no cloud problem solved.[/quote]

This is true, but the problem comes about when you save offline to your hard drive, it won't be synchronized to your cloud save. Meaning, if load the game later on, when back online, the cloud save, not the hard drive save will
be loaded. Overwriting your hard drive save.

You can stop the cloud save from loading, but you need to be paying attention when it happens.

Since you chose to get the save game from local disc, the cloud save is probably rewritten with the new save.

You should have chosen for the cloud save to load.

Maybe load it up on the old machine, sync a saved game to the cloud. Load it up on new machine & the saved game.

Copy the save to your cloud. Load the cloud copy in creation mode. If it auto-saves while in creation mode, your save will then not count on leaderboards nor for achievements. But you can always use the cloud copy to look around to find coords, then load
the survival one (in survival mode) on your HD and have full achivos working.

The save data actually lives in the cloud. There is a local copy on the console itself either on the internal or external but if you are connected to XBL the save will load to the cloud.
