Steam moved my saved games
Posted: Fri, 12. Jan 24, 15:52
I'm a tad biased when it comes to Steam. If possible I play offline and have disabled cloud ever since it overwrote my X3TC saved games (hence destroyed many hours of my game play). The Steam launcher is installed on the G drive (M.2) but several games are installed on different drives. All the saved games are located in the corresponding save folder in the C: > .... > documents folder.
Now for almost a year (playing other games in between) I'm building a major settlement (own mod that overlaps Red Rocket and Sanctuary build/sandbox areas) in Fallout 4 which is located on the D drive (another M.2). I had not played it for like 3 weeks and after the Steam update today I thought to check it out and continue the build. To my surprise all .fos files disappeared! It took me some time to find them. Steam moved them to the G drive (where the Steam launcher is located), under Steam > userdata > .... > WinMyDocuments > MyGames > Fallout 4.
For now only FO4 saved games were moved. Has anyone encountered that, too, maybe with other games? Is this a "normal" Steam feature or do I miss something?
Cheers Euclid
