Couldn't get most recent game save

is this forum still active???

You should be able to select "Load Game Save" from the Main Menu or in Game and select the most recent point in the game that you're searching for. However, if your most recent save is an auto-save, then you will have to choose the save prior to the auto-save
one that is closer to the "final battle" in your game.

It could be. Never keep your most recent save as an Auto Save, those get overwritten without asking you.

I think I've found what the issue is as well as the solution. A big thanks to Pete._.M for the help on this one. Couldn't have done it without them.

When you install the game, it creates a local game save folder and uses that by default. It is syncing cloud saves, but the local saves take priority and the cloud save is ignored. Found, what I think, is the solution on this. Steps Below.

1. On the machine having issues syncing, go to C:\Users\YOURUSERHERE\Saved Games Delete the Outer Worlds folder.
   
2. Reboot the machine.
3. Sign into game pass on the other machine, launch Outer Worlds, load into your most recent save, quit game.
   
4. Go back to the problem machine, and launch Xbox beta and then Outer Worlds

The most recent save should be pulled down from the cloud. This worked for me, hopefully it will work for you too.

It started happening to me earlier. Couldn't walk more than a few metres without the game pausing for a second or two.

I went out the game. Checked the memory section of the dashboard and noticed I had nearly 2GB worth of saves for Skyrim.

Just spent ages deleted a load of save so now I only have 20 so so of the most recent saves. So far the lag has gone. Keeping my fingers crossed.
