I’ve been playing a lot of Fallout 4 over the holidays. I started and finished the Nuka World DLC (killed all the baddies), made it to level 90, etc.

Today I was playing on my Deck as the battery got a little low (11%) so I saved my game, exited the game, and went to shut down.

As it was shutting down, the Deck displayed a message, something like “Syncing to Steam Cloud” as the logo was spinning.

A few hours later, on a full charge, I booted it back up, started Fallout 4 again and… some of my old saves are there, but only about 30% of them, and critically not the most recent ones.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is this a known issue? Can I fix it, or report it? I’ve basically lost interest in finishing the game now.

    I was thinking of something like this actually. A shell script that rsync’s the save files to my home server on startup or something. I’ve not heard of “Decky”, so I’ll look that up before I start trying to roll my own, thanks.

      Decky loader is a plugin store/manager for Steam Deck. Let’s you retheme steam deck ui, change startup animations, gives advanced performance controls, and a ton of other stuff. I’d definitely consider it mandatory for getting the best steam deck experience.
