Cloud save not showing

[Ghostkwebb]

So I was using parallels cause Valheim mac wasn't working then it worked and I saw that the cloud saves weren't showing up.
What do you think I should do to fix this?

I'm playing on a vm called parallels and I'm pretty sure these are all cloud saves

If this is an issue with the Windows version of the game you should open a support ticket with Iron Gate.

If this is while using the unofficial macOS build, have a look at ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/logs/cloud_log.txt first, to see if there's trouble with Steam syncing content.

So it is with the unofficial build. I was referring to how it saves on Windows but not on the unofficial build. Also here is the cloud_log.
cloud_log.txt

This is a pic of the unofficial build.

The above pic was the windows VM version

That does indeed look like Steam did not manage to sync your files properly:

Hard to say, but it seemed to work up until May 25th, then stopped working the 27th onwards. This could be tricky to resolve as Steam will not allow you to resolve conflicts through the UI since macOS is not officially supported for Valheim.

To discard any local changes made in the local macOS version, and start using your cloud saves, you could try the following:

1. Ensure Valheim and Steam (macOS) are not running
2. Make a backup of your local Valheim user data, located in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<steam user id>/892970
3. Remove the ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<steam user id>/892970 folder
4. Launch Steam (macOS), make sure you are logged in / online
5. Launch Valheim custom build

All of this is highly experimental, so make sure you have backups.

I'm having exactly the same issue. I can see my cloud saves in the ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/<steam user id>/892970/remote directory. I can browse cloud saves via "Manage Saves" UI, but neither worlds nor characters appear in the game menu. The list is blank. I followed the instructions from this post, but it didn't help.

Seems it's a common problem because I don't see any of my characters/worlds stored in my cloud save.
After game launch there's notification about the problem and cloud data won't be available.

I installed a few weeks ago and having similar problems... runs great with new start but if I try to use anything from the cloud it will not work. It 'sees' characters when I view what is in the cloud but when I go to start a game, it only shows the new locally created characters. Added to this, I don't even see any of the save architecture on my drive. There is no: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata//892970/remote folder on my computer. The local folder doesn't appear either however the fact that I can play with newly created characters means they are being saved somewhere!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Could you check ~/Library/Application Support/unity.IronGate.Valheim-macOS-Custom/ and see if you recognize your local characters/worlds?

There is no unity.Irongate.Valheim…. Folder when I look in~/Library/ApplicationSupport/  I feel I must be doing something wrong but game works great, albeit only with new characters.  It ‘sees’ my cloud characters but will not let me use them or copy to local (show them as 0kb)Sent from my iPhoneOn Jul 22, 2023, at 16:20, Tim Kurvers ***@***.***> wrote: The local folder doesn't appear either however the fact that I can play with newly created characters means they are being saved somewhere!

It's the ~/Library/Application Support/ directory not the ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/ you're looking for.

Just to add a bit more info here in case it helps someone. My cloud save load wasn't working on a fresh build as the first time I entered the game I got no characters. There was an I/O error in the cloud log, but my character data was downloaded and present. The second time I loaded the game up, the characters came up fine...

M2 macbook. Works like a charm. However, if you are using a trackpad, I haven't figured out how to really use the game properly, need a mouse to properly construct and do other things like picking out which arrows to use or eat directly from the inventory.

The second time I loaded the game up, the characters came up fine...

Sadly I can't confirm that. My saves won't load no matter how many times I try.

Closing this issue as the official macOS client is now available! 🥳 (see #104)
