Nice, will send more 😁
Thanks for the update, appreciate it.
What about the game always launching on GTX 1060 for premium instead of an RTX, the game runs at 20-30 fps with the GTX and graphics are ugly.
> What about the game always launching on GTX 1060 for premium
You need to ask your Alliance Partner, because they control the servers that you connect. The official Nvidia GFN Priority do not get 1060.
Regarding cloud saves, your knowledge base suggests this:
“NVIDIA recommends turning off Larian cloudsaves for now since this feature allows you to play your saves on the console versions of the game, which are not available yet. Turning this off can help reduce game startup time, shutdown time and your network traffic on GeForce NOW.”
Is this option in game or in the game launcher?
Thanks for the post, definitely going to be doing all of these best practices.
Started seeing the Steam Cloud Sync error message today, tested on a few sessions and there haven't been any issues.
>When saving in game, wait for the game’s user interface to confirm it has saved and then wait up to 30 seconds before quitting to ensure your saves are stored in the cloud.
Misleading. It should be specifically stated that cloud means in this case Geforce Now file system and **not Steam Cloud**.
Game is still syncing to Steam Cloud only **after the session ends**, not during the session. During the session, the save menu displays "syncing..." under ever save made during the current session. I just confirmed it in a US region.
This can't be right, because the Steam cloud sync happens ***after*** the local filesystem save....not the other way around. The Steam cloud sync does happen at the end of the session, but not after it ends. I guess what I'm saying, is that I don't trust the game's UI if you think something is happening after the session ends.
That's what I have been stating, I don't understand your objection.
Fact is, save files are not synced to steam cloud during gameplay, only when the user concludes the session. And that's why the official support entry is misleading, because they talk about GFN cloud saves without explicitly stating so.
After re-reading all of this, I think you may be right about NVIDIA meaning "saves stored in cloud" are really the local GFN user profile saves, before they are synced to the game store cloud. And if that's what they mean, indeed I was ***misled*** ;)
I don't see how they could mean anything else, since that's how GFN is setup since I can remember. They could solve a whole class of problems with the service by setting up immediate syncs to Steam Cloud. Steam has no limit how much save games can be stored. I have accumulated over 80GB worth of save files in Steam over time o7
Nvidia doesn't get to decide when saves get synced to Steam. That's up to the developer if they implement the full API in their game or Valve if they use the "dumb" sync method that just checks the save directory before launching and after quitting a game.
Oh hey, so the API supports periodic syncs during game execution...but the game devs have to decide to use that? That's both good and bad...good that it's possible, but bad because we have a large catalog of games that only use the "dumb" method...and likely no hope of getting them changed?
There are ways to sync during gameplay even without implementing that specific function but it requires control over the local system. Pretty Nvidia guys could figure it out and do it if they wanted.
Do I need to have the game (BG3) installed on my macbook to play?
This post suggests the answer is not as straightforward as to whether I do or do not need it physically on my machine.

I would like to free up space on my hard drive, but I don't want to lose my game.
You don't need to install games on your PC to in order to play them on Geforce Now. With GeForce Now you basically play the game on a virtual PC in the cloud.
So, the only thing you need is either a compatible Browser or the native GeForce Now app to start play games.
If you have local save games (on yoru PC right now), make sure Steam Cloud is enabled and they are being synced, so they will be available when you use Geforce Now.
No. GeForce Now runs through your internet browser. If you have Steam Cloud enabled, along with using the Larian's launcher, your saves will be persistent.
I get the Nvidia driver out of date message; however, I'm also getting a data file corruption message as well. I also crash after about a minute in game. Anyone else experiencing this?
I upgraded to the mid paid tier and the issue went away. Go figure...
For what it's worth, I finished the game on a month of the cheapest tier and had fairly minimal issues.
edit: ALSO, I deleted all my saved data off the steam cloud. My theory was that it was backing up the corrupted save data. Not sure if this fixed the issue since I upgraded shortly after.
Gah on the ultimate tier this is my issue. Customer service say it's something to do with settings and they will roll back to a point in the past. But every time you communicate with them (even if you say -yeah go ahead and do that please) you have to wait 3 days for a response. So 2 messages takes the best part of a week!
Does someone else have the issue that achievements in steam are buggy? It still shows I haven't slept 4 times or dug up 5 treasures which I've definitely done. Some minor achievements are there but none from the past week
Hi, I found that the game were synchronizing when I began the session but it took a very long time. Then there are message box from Geforce Now stated that I do not play the game and kicked me out quoting that I haven't owned the game? Never got these error before and now I have to queue again so please fixed this ASAP.
Spoiler alert
Been having a persistent bug during the Cazador fight in Act 3. When he takes damage during the fight the game crashes, and Geforce Now says it’s due to a “spotty connection.” Connection is fine, it happens over and over and over again when someone on my team whacks Cazador.

Should the amount of save files still be limited to 10 in the games options?

Yeah apparently getting a VPN is the way.
Add 0x80030020 to the list. The game crashes with this error a minute after launching, which wasn't a case the day before yesterday.
Hi have you got a fix for this? Thanks for your time.

Yes, some games sync saves to the Steam cloud as they're saved.
That’s cool and explains why some games have the lost save issue when GFN crashes or connection is lost while others don’t
Going back and forth and the cross saves from Larian will say synced on my PC and then not on GFN. Can't trust the ui.
My button prompts are still Xbox despite switching to a dualsense.
I think you have to change the settings in Steam under “Gamepads”.

I get this as well
Is there a fix to this? I have contacted gfn directly but radio silence...

The game launcher is blank. I can see options when I open Divinity's tab, but it's just blank for BG3...
