Hallo everybody,
since the new 18mb patch all my newer savegames that weren't stored in the Steam cloud have disappeared from my ingame Load-savegame screen. (although they were still present in the savegame folder)

I already tried to clear the cloud and disabled it in the .ini file but the game keeps on re-enabling it on launch. Now I have a full list of saves in my My Documents/Witcher2/gamesaves but the game can't find a single save.
Copying them back to the Steam-cloud folder doesn't change anything.

Any ides what I can try next?

Another thing:

Just tried to change the user.ini file again to CloudStorage=false and set the file to read-only but it didn't work. Still no saves showing up in the game

Have you checked this thread?

yes I have, but it didn't work

Disable the steam cloud from within the game.

didn't work /

As of now they're disabled within the game right? Try restarting the game now see what happens.

If that still doesn't, work read the thread dragonbird linked you to: (http://en.thewitcher...m-cloud-saving/)

This point in particular:

"If you wish to return to the old method of saving games ("My Documents\"), you will need to delete all save games stored on the cloud and in the steam directory, and then turn off steam cloud saving in the menu."

Now comes the funny part!

I followed the steps described in the link above, already before I started this thread.
Steam cloud was disabled and showed 0 bytes used, the 20920 folder was recreated by steam showing only the remotecache.vdf file. (also tried to copy some saves into a manually created "remote" folder to see if they get picked up after my first try, but didn't work)

user.ini was set to cloudstorage=false and the ingame option was also turned off.

Result = no saves appeared

Now I re-enabled the cloudsave option but only ingame, got an error saying that there isn't enough free space and woop around a quarter of all saves (= around 100mb)reappeared in the Loading-menu, thankfully just the newest ones.


So the trick was to re-enable the cloud instead of trying to keep it disabled.
Would be interesting to know why the game suddenly decided to ignore all newer saves, must have something to do with the latest patch I guess because everything worked fine before.

Well, thank God it's solved.
