HELP PLS Yesterday I had to format/reset/reboot (? my computer, so, I lost everything ... so, I want to know if I can just reload my saves from steam cloud, and if it's possible... how? :( Thanks! :3 < > Showing 1-6 of 6 comments Kargor View Profile View Posts 13 Jun, 2017 @ 3:23pm Games that store their saves in the cloud will do this automatically, if it's enabled.If Steam requires manual intervention, because it got confused as to which save is the current one, it will pop up a window and ask you. #1 MaddDoktor [Linux] View Profile View Posts 13 Jun, 2017 @ 3:35pm Make sure that you log into exactly the same account and your games will be there, but you will need to download games again. Assuming you had Steam Cloud enabled, that should have any game achievements and items on the item server.However, single player games might save status of a current game to one of various locations on your hard drive, and if you did not save those elsewhere that you can still access, those may be gone forever.In hindsight it would have been a good idea to have used Steam to back up your games to another or external drive before doing the format/reset. That would have least saved time not having to download games again if they are large or you have slow Internet. And it might have saved data for save games not saved to the Cloud or item servers. #2 xMithrandir View Profile View Posts 13 Jun, 2017 @ 3:35pm

I see, I actually made a backup from the steam and 'my documents' files, just in case, but I was hoping not to need them, at least not all of them. Thank you very much! :) #4 cingur mu lee View Profile View Posts 13 Jun, 2017 @ 3:42pm niceeeeeeee #5 cingur mu lee View Profile View Posts 13 Jun, 2017 @ 3:42pm niceeeeeeee #6 < > Showing 1-6 of 6 comments Per page: 1530 50 All Discussions > Steam Forums > Help and Tips > Topic Details Date Posted: 13 Jun, 2017 @ 3:14pmPosts: 6 Start a New Discussion Discussions Rules and Guidelines
