1) Rename fallout 4's folder in steamapps. 2) Uninstall fallout 4 from steam. 3) Restart steam. 4) Rename the folder back to Fallout 4. 5) Rename your saves folder in: documents / my games / fallout 4 /. 6) Install the game again, It'll detect your game files, then download any cloud file that are stored. Fallout 4 will not snyc. Was having a freezing broblem. Also I can't load new saves. I could load 2 older saves, but if walk 1 step and hit save. It will save, but won't load. Some how with trying to snyc. I have no saves except what is in the cloud and can't get them. I have over year invested and own almost every legendary item. Over $13 Fallout 4 is a part of the Fallout video game series, which is a post-apocalyptic and role-playing game. Fallout franchise releases mods for the Fallout game. Gamers can load these mods to the In case you save again to the same name, the last save will be renamed to mygame.fos.bak so you still have a (single!) back up. In my case I play on survival and assigned a hotkey F5 to save quicksave, so I get the sleep saves in that strange naming and backup schema and my quicksave.fos, quicksave.fos.bak from my manual saves. I just got the exact same problem running Steam and Fallout 4 for the first time on a new Windows 10 computer. It looks like Windows moved Documents to OneDrive. And Windows always keeps 'My Games' in Documents. The following has worked for me. I had 2 documents folders: C:\Users\my-user-name\Documents C:\Users\my-user-name\OneDrive\Documents The first account has 45.3 MB of actual save data on disk, the second has 130.2 MB. Deleting existing saves to "free up space" as the game suggests does not fix the issue. And it's the account with the fewest MB of save data that's having the biggest problem. There's also two blocks of "Reserved" space. Click the start menu/windows settings/system/storage. or. Click the start menu/windows settings/network & internet/data useage/storage settings. Both take you to the same place.. Here you will find save locations, Make sure all are set to "This PC (C:)" Its Microsofts Onedrive thats causing you the issue. I hadn't been playing F:NV in a while and when i decided to come back, I wanted to clear any external mod files in my game. So I dragged my saves files into a temp folder, and uninstalled and reinstalled F:NV. I put the saves from my temp back into Documents/My Games/ Fallout NV/ Saves after booting up the game. No matter how many times or methods I tried, they wont show up! It's really sad Make sure Steam Cloud Sync for Fallout 4 is enabled on the $500 PC. 2. Launch your game, load a save, make a NEW save and then exit the game. This should trigger Steam to sync. (if you hover over the Steam tray icon, you will see it say "synchronizing" when it's active) 3. Wait for it to finish and then shut down the $500 PC. Get into the habit of doing manual saves and turn off auto saves and don't bother to quick save. You don't want to clog up your saves as it ain't a good thing. Also clear your cache at least once a week and your persistent memory as well. Oh and good luck with Downtown Boston - it sucks balls on performance :-/. X41Rz.
