    Xbox PC Game Pass Cloud save not synching with PC device anymore - No Man's Sky


    My cloud saves have not been synching up after I'm done playing. It has been a few days now and I keep getting a pop up after launching No Man's Sky asking me to choose between 2 different files (Device save and Cloud save) which are both now a few days older than the actual save file in the game. The Device and Cloud save on the pop up have the date of 3/10/22 while the in game save says 3/12/22.

    Is there a way to manually synch to cloud on PC? I get this pop up every time I launch the game and now I find out that my Manual save file in game has also changed to the previous file after I manually saved on 3/12/22 which made me lose a couple hours of progress since my Manual save was new than the Autosave. I hope there is a way to resolve this as I don't want to lose any more progress. I did look through Game Pass settings to see if there was a way to manually synch with Cloud Saves and found no such option.

    :)

    Hey John,

    Appreciate the help. I checked out that other post you linked and I believe I found where the save file is located. Good suggestion of moving the file rather than deleting it. I will try moving it to another location and give an update on how it goes. I've been using the Autosave feature like crazy in hopes I don't lose any progress like last time.

    First picture attached is the only prompt I get when launching No Man's Sky and the second is what it looks like in game (save beacons are supposed to update Manual Save spot, doesn't work anymore) . From the looks of it, it is saving on the cloud (I can always pick up where I left off) but not overwriting the local save file like it originally did. I do remember changing some graphic settings that day and may be the reason all of this is happening. I just don't want this to keep popping up as it may overwrite my current save if I click on either option, then sync with cloud and lose all this progress since that date.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    So, in terms of saves, I found another thread that seemed to have a similar issue: Xbox Game Pass on PC : Force Cloud Save Sync - Microsoft Community. For this it recommends deleting local save files. You can probably move them instead of deleting them so if the game doesn't register the local files and it still doesn't sync, you don't lose your save entirely.

    Just in case, I play No Man's Sky on my Console but I'm downloading it on my PC with Xbox Game Pass to see if I can check out any discrepancies and seeing about reproducing your issue. I know that on Xbox when you first launch the game, it will sync your data for No Man's Sky before launching. So I've logged onto my Xbox, played around a little and used a save point to save before exiting. NMS is currently downloading on my PC so when it finishes I will double check and see if it and how it syncs the saves.

    When you launch the game does it detail anything that says it's syncing or anything like that?

    Just additional resources just in case:

    Thank you,

    Xbox PC Game Pass Cloud save not synching with PC device anymore - No Man's Sky

    Hello,

    I actually had to do some digging to find the location for No Man's Sky since it was not in C:\XboxGames\ which confused me since there is only one game in that file and I've installed 5 games so far. You're going to have to allow Hidden Items to show in your Local Disk drive.

    No Man's Sky is located in -- C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData(hidden file)\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky....\SystemAppData\wgs\(Random Numbered File is the save file)

    So far I only have one character in the game, so only one save game. I did a little messing around with these files and found the one with the exact date for what's causing the issue. First moved it to another location, booted the game and came across the same pop up. Then I took a chance and deleted it, with the same outcome. I tried using the Save Beacon to "Manual Save" and it did not update it both times. Finally I said screw it, and I loaded that Manual Save in game(with the 3/10/2022 file) and it acted like the Autosave was loaded and brought me back to my exact spot with no progress lost. Seems to me like it just might be an in game bug? I believe that it is saving on the cloud but it's not updating it when I launch the game for some reason. I might try reinstalling it to see if that might fix it.

    Really appreciate all your help! I will be traveling for a couple weeks so there's no rush for that info on the cloud saves. I'll be checking my email and will still be able to respond but won't be able to test anything out until I get back.

    Thanks!

    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 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,
