Not sure of others having been having issues with steam save file cloud sync but it seems like every other time i try to start the game it hangs on syncing errors. Wonder if it’s just me or maybe a bunch of people due to the larger than expected concurrent player number.

Imagine making a game so popular that you give Valve’s servers the hug of death

I believe it shouldn’t matter how many concurrent users are playing a specific game. Steam’s cloud save service is handling dozens of millions of users at any given time.

Sucks it’s happening to you, tho :(
