Hi, i've recently stumbled upon a problem.

I've played Macedon and chosen Ironman mode for quite a while, at first just thought it would be an experimental playthough. But then i grew quite fond of this playthough and decided to stick with it more. So when i discovered the function "cloud save" (yes i'm noob ikr, just realised this kind of thing exists recently), i was like: this would be great, now i could play the game at more different times whenever possible!

Only then did i realise my save was local and couldn't find any option anywhere to change it to cloud, because in ironman the game automatically saves to the primary and only one save. I recognised with a normal mode, i could change local to cloud and vice versa at any time i want thanks to the saves dialog opening, but with ironman, i had only one chance that is the first time playing ironman and choose the file save and remember to stick cloud with that (which i find is a very tricky moment, very). Now i have to play a new game to stick cloud, or continue playing and accept the fact that i can only play at home...

I've searched around quite a bit but couldn't find anywhere mentioning this thing yet. But figuring the fact that the game has just released and quite still hot on the plate, i decide it would be me to post and mention this problem which i face, hoping it will be an official solution in the near future patch, or if anyone knows a quick solution, it would be great if i could know, too.

Hoping to hear more interesting informations and debates about this. Cheers.

Cloud saves are kept in ...\Steam\userdata\<SteamIDnumber>\859580\remote\save games\ . What if you just moved or copied it there?

No. I have chosen to save locally in the first place, originally just thought of a quick and examinational play to understand the game. Only then becoming more fond of this play, did i realise i could not change it to cloud save anymore.

That's where my problem comes...

Oh, wait. What if i could find the local save file and move it to the folder of the cloud saves? Hm...

Exactly. Local saves are in documents/paradox/imperator/save games/

Thank you for the info, but unfortunately it seems does not work. I've found the local save in documents folder and move it to "...\Steam\userdata\<SteamIDnumber>\859580\remote\save games\" (had to create the folder "859580" and its sub folders) but it didn't show up when i opened load game box in-game.

Any more ideas? Thanks.

Maybe I got the exact folder wrong or it's a bit different in this game. Start a new game with Steam cloud saves and see where it places the save file.
