Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

[8.0 Hotfix4, DE, Steamdeck] Spielstand-Laden Defekt // missing save files - solved

Post by Argoraner »

Hallo,

Spiele auf dem Steamdeck, meistens im Offline-Mode. Manchmal über NVIDIA-Go.
Bin gestern online gegangen und es gab ein X4-Update (wahrscheinlich das Februar update?) sowie das Update auf Vulkan 3. Danach habe ich das Spiel gestartet. Zunächst fiel auf, dass die Musik wieder aktiviert war (habe sie normal aus) und dann, dass alle meine Spielstände mit älteren Versionen ausgetauscht waren (neuester Spielstand 2026-03-08 00:51:43 Version 8.00). Habe die Online-Daten (https://store.steampowered.com/account/ ... torageapp/...) abgeglichen und der letzte Spielstand da wurde entsprechend im Spiel auch geladen:
WinMyDocuments Egosoft/X4/-Steam-ID-/save/save_002.xml.gz 112.64 MB 8. Mrz. um 0:52 Herunterladen

Ich habe aber offline auf dem Steamdeck im Save-Ordner (deck/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/392160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/documents/egosoft/x4/-steam-ID-/save) auch neuere Spielstände (zumindest wurden sie danach erst erstellt und haben andere Datenmengen (>121 MB)).

Wenn ich das Spiel verlasse versucht Steam die Spielstände hochzuladen. Dann kommt jedoch eine Fehlermeldung: "Steam cloud: Synchronisation nicht möglich" - Steam konnte Ihre letzten Spielstände für X4: Foundations nicht mit der Steam Cloud synchronisieren." Auch bei "Erneut Versuchen" passiert nichts.

Gibt es irgendwie eine Lösung mit den neueren Spielständen zu spielen? Diese befinden sich im richtigen Ordner aber irgendwie werden sie nicht geladen.

Viele Grüße

Hello,

I play on the Steam Deck, mostly in offline mode. Sometimes via NVIDIA Go.
I went online yesterday and there was an X4 update (probably the February update?) as well as the update to Vulkan 3. After that, I launched the game. First, I noticed that the music was back on (I usually have it off), and then that all my save files had been replaced with older versions (latest save file: 2026-03-08 00:51:43 Version 8.00). I compared the online data (https://store.steampowered.com/account/ ... torageapp/...) and the latest save file there was loaded into the game accordingly:
WinMyDocuments Egosoft/X4/-Steam-ID-/save/save_002.xml.gz 112.64 MB Mar 8 at 12:52 AM Download

However, I also have newer save files offline on the Steam Deck in the save folder (deck/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/392160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/documents/egosoft/x4/-steam-ID-/save) (at least they were created afterward and have different file sizes (>121 MB)) .

When I exit the game, Steam tries to upload the saves. However, an error message appears: “Steam Cloud: Synchronization not possible” - “Steam was unable to synchronize your latest saves for X4: Foundations with the Steam Cloud.” Even when I click “Try Again,” nothing happens.

Is there any way to play with the newer save files? They’re in the correct folder, but for some reason they aren’t loading.

Best regards

Solved my Problem.

The Game-Files are now in an other directory on steamdeck. Now they are in:
"home/deck/.config/Egosoft/X4/-user ID-/save/"

Insert my newer saves in there and now it works.
