Steam [resolved] New Pc, Lost Save Data And Progress

Hey all

Recently got a new PC and all my save data for TSW has gone. I'm signed into my DTL account but my data doesn't seem to have synced over. Am I doing something wrong?

 

Dovetail live has nothing to do with your profile, savegames or game settings, it only saves Mastery progress, Community Event Rewards DTL screenshots and your drivers logbook.

Your profile, progress and game settings are saved locally on your PC in the following directory:

C:\Users\yourname\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld5\Saved\SaveGames

If you don't have a backup of this directory or no longer have access to the old hard disk, all your progress is permanently lost.

 

Damn it. I assumed the save data was synced to the steam cloud servers?

 

Unfortunately no, TSW has no Steam Cloud support, everything to do with profile, progress or game settings is stored locally only.
I personally use OneDrive, but any other cloud service will do too.

 

Lesson learned i guess, I'll make sure to back up my save from now on. Thank you anyway.
