How many of you got screwed over by Steam Cloud?

Only my Psychonauts save. Got halfway through the game and now I'm back at the tutorial level.
Also Steam Cloud isn't free, the publishers / developers have to pay Valve to use it.

I never faced anything like that but thanks for the heads up.

It screwed once with my Torchlight 2 progress, i lost a big amount of stuff and then i disabled it for that game.. voilá no more problems until now.

Steamcloud sucks btw.

I dont use any of these clouds, but my Q.U.B.E. progress did delete twice. Never playing that crap again...

i have steam cloud and every other cloud for all the game clients i use turned off, theyre useless, bugged, slow and i dont need them because my pc remembers when i tell i to save something, its good like that.

I got all achievements for Isaac and since it had Steam Cloud, I thought it would be allright to uninstall it and pick it up later. Lo and behold, Wrath of the Lamb came out and I got it in a summer sale a few months and 2 HD formats later, so I install it and see... that I have exactly zero items and secrets unlocked. Motherfucker.

Thankfully, a torrent had a 100% save game for a vanilla version, so that was awfully helpful. So was learning where that so.sol file is, I aint going anywhere without it any more.

I luckily never had any issues with Steam Cloud, and my 100+ hrs playtime Borderlands save file is alive and well, thank goodness. I still have GameSaveManager as backup though.

I haven't had any issue with Steam Cloud, just need to make it closes your game properly and finish syncing.

I only lost my Ys: The Oath in Felghana saves to it, but it was enough to convince me to disable it.

Never. I just don't use it.

Ever since I started using steam I disabled this out of fear of exactly the stories you folks describe here. I know a friend who lost his fallout 3 new vegas save because of it, and saw a post about a guy losing progress on alien versus predator. Needless to say I was glad on my decision.

I once lost my Dungeons of Dredmor Save.
I really like that game, but it can get really hard some times, which makes losing your saved game really frustrating.

I lost my Deus Ex HR saves after 8 hours of gameplay. :|

Steam cloud, for once, SAVED my life with The Witcher 2, after getting a new computer and have forgotten to backup the save (which had around 8 hours so far)

Just once after an hour of TL2, I learned fro my mistake and that's it.

Deleted about 20% progress from SR3. Didn't play that game again :/

Well I'm fine with Steam cloud

It screwed my Bastion saves.

I actually like steamcloud. The only issue is when it says theres a problem between your local savegame and the cloud one. You only have to choose the local file.

when i force close my games or they crash it usually asks me if i want to use the steamcloud save or upload my local one. When I press upload it always tells me it couldn't upload and it's going to force me to use the cloud save anyway. WHY EVEN ASK HOLY HELL

and it always puts me back like an hour

DEAD ISLAND WHY DIDNT IT SaVE
