valouris Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I thought it was announced that the game would utilize Steam Cloud support after it was made available only to Steam, but it seems this is not the case, I cant find it anywhere... Will it be implemented in the future?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Seifer Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The save files are too big for SC, unfortunately =( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mije1983 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Wouldn't think it would happen in the foreseebale future as Steam Cloud has a limit of 100MB and FM saves are much larger than that. For example I'm only in January 2012 and my save is already 119MB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valouris Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 dammit, I was really looking forward to this feature...they shouldn't have promised it though.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdunk Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 And even if they up the limit to something OK for FM, there's still going to be the issue of how long it takes to upload/download the massive savefiles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem would arise from multiple savegames, but then they could allow you to choose only one to have on the cloud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 BTW, within 7-8 months of FM gaming my save grew up from 50 to 130 MB. Is there a way to prevent it from reaching GB dimensions ? In the past years I think to remember there was a tweak to cut from the save old data. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuRvZ Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 dammit, I was really looking forward to this feature...they shouldn't have promised it though.... I don't think they ever promised this, as it was pretty obvious from the start that this would not work for FM due to the file size. Even if it would be possible, it would be impractical due to the time it takes to upload and download the files again, even on a fast connection. Remember it needs to upload them every time you save. They might have promised Steamworks support, which is far more than just the cloud, for example achievements, stats, ingame overlay, copy protection etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
