Feel free to download and alter the files to do the same for other games.Ĭredits and special thanks go to reddit user InsomniacsUnite, thanks to whom I found out about symlinking cloud folders.Users have the option to disable the whole Cloud synchronization present in the Steam Settings in the client. I've left all older versions of the files on the site, so you can see the creation process. Since this utility creates a symlink between the game's original save location and the new cloud-stored save location, any save-file managers should work with no problems, but I can't guarantee it. I will not be held responsible for any loss of files or data caused by using it. I've made this utility for my own personal use. Added warning messages for various situations. You will no longer be able to accidentally delete your local saves if the cloud save folder is missing or has been renamed. Bugfix for systems with an incorrectly set Windows PATH variable.
Added option to change cloud folder after picking. Also, obviously, do not use this unless you have Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive or another similar cloud folder solution installed on your computer. The new save folder will be \DarkSoulsIII. Do not move or rename the new save folder, or you will break the symbolic link and the game will no longer load from and save to that folder. Make sure your cloud folder program is always on, and set to start with Windows, otherwise your saves won't sync properly. If you encounter errors or crashes in the game while saving or loading, try running the game as administrator. Simply download, extract and run the batch file using administrator privileges (not required, but just in case). Your current saves will not be lost.ĭropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft One Drive or another similar cloud storage solution installed on your system. The game will now save to a folder on your Dropbox or Google Drive instead of locally storing the saves. This file is used to move your DarkSoulsIII save folder to a cloud solution such as Dropbox or Google Drive, and then create a symbolic link between it and the original save folder location. This batch file will fix that and safeguard your progress. Should you try playing on a second one, or if, heavens forbid, a hard drive failure should occur, you'd be starting from scratch.
This means that your entire progress is locked to your one computer. A simple batch file used to set up and use cloud saving in Dark Souls III using an external program such as Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, etc.ĭespite it being synced through Steam, Dark Souls 3 does not use Steam's cloud save features.
