虽然“蒸汽云”一词可能会让人联想到沸腾的水壶或老式火车，但在视频游戏方面，它是最大的 PC 游戏平台的杀手级功能。如果您在Steam上玩游戏，您肯定想知道如何使用Steam 云(Steam Cloud)游戏存档。当出现问题时，您会很高兴您宝贵的时间被安全地存储在没有人可以删除的地方。
什么是 Steam 云存档？
(Games that you buy and download)您通过Steam购买和下载的游戏可以将保存的游戏文件上传和下载到Steam的服务器。换句话说，如果您丢失了计算机的数据、设置了新计算机或在多台计算机上玩Steam游戏，您可以通过互联网检索您最近保存的游戏。
当您卸载游戏并在以后重新安装时，您保存的游戏也会被恢复。一般来说，Steam 云(Steam Cloud)存档让您忘记存档数据，继续玩游戏。
每个游戏都支持 Steam 云存档(Does Every Game Support Steam Cloud Saves)吗？
并非Steam上的所有游戏都支持云存档。这是留给开发人员的事情。所有游戏也不一样。开发人员可以选择上传哪些数据，哪些不上传。如果您想知道Steam游戏是否支持云存档，只需前往其商店页面并检查Steam 云(Steam Cloud)徽标是否在游戏功能列表下方。
确保云(Cloud)存档对您的游戏有效(Active)
可以禁用给定Steam计算机上所有游戏的云保存。您还可以为单个游戏启用或禁用该功能。如果您的游戏支持Steam 云(Steam Cloud)保存但未同步，您可以轻松检查该功能是否已启用。
要检查全局云保存设置：
- 打开蒸汽(Steam)。
- 选择Steam >设置( Settings)。
- 切换到云选项卡(Cloud tab)。
- 确保为支持它的应用程序启用 Steam 云同步(Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for applications which support it)已切换到您的偏好。
- 选择确定(OK)。
要检查单个游戏的云保存状态：
- 打开蒸汽(Steam)。
- 前往您的Steam 库(Steam library)。

- 右键单击有问题的游戏(game)。
- 选择属性(Properties)。
- 切换到常规(General)选项卡。
- 检查是否根据您的偏好切换了云同步。
同样，并非所有游戏都具有Steam 云(Steam Cloud)保存功能，因此如果您没有看到单个游戏的该选项，它可能不支持它。在这种情况下，我们鼓励您手动备份保存的游戏数据。
在您的 PC 上查找已下载的 Steam 云存档(Downloaded Steam Cloud)
说到手动备份，您实际上可以访问本地计算机上的云保存的本地副本。只要您知道文件夹位置，当然：
- PC : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata
- Mac：~/库/应用程序Support/Steam/userdata
- Linux：~/.local/share/Steam/userdata
请记住，这些是本地存储云保存数据的默认位置。如果您在安装Steam时指定了自定义文件夹，则需要转至该文件夹。
在这些文件夹中，您会找到根据Steam 应用 ID(Steam App ID)存储的存档。这是一个与Steam(Steam)商店中游戏目录号相对应的唯一编号。您可以通过在SteamDB(SteamDB)上输入 ID 号轻松找到哪个 ID 与哪个游戏匹配。
如何处理Steam 云存档冲突(Steam Cloud Save Conflicts)
有时，您会从Steam(Steam)收到一条错误消息，说明存储在本地计算机上的游戏存档与Steam在其服务器上的游戏存在冲突。这通常是因为您在同一个游戏存档文件的两个不同版本上取得了进展。
大多数情况下，正确的选择只是选择文件最近修改的版本，但在某些情况下，这实际上可能不是您想要的保存。为了安全起见，我们建议您在第一次看到云同步冲突时选择取消它。
现在使用我们在上一节中讨论的文件夹位置备份本地文件。如果事实证明本地文件是您应该保留的文件，您可以返回并手动替换它们。
手动下载您的 Steam 云存档(Download Your Steam Cloud Saves)
另一个巧妙的选择是能够使用网络浏览器查看和下载您的Cloud Sync文件。(Cloud Sync)如果您尚未登录，只需(Simply)前往查看 Steam 云(View Steam Cloud)并登录您的 Steam 帐户。
在这里，您可以查看存储在您的Steam Cloud Sync帐户中的每个单独的游戏文件。您所要做的就是选择下载按钮，然后您就拥有一份自己的副本。这对于在其他版本的游戏中使用保存文件以及在云文件被删除之前快速备份云文件非常有用，正如我们刚刚看到的那样，它们在同步冲突解决方案中被删除。
请记住，这里存储的不仅仅是保存游戏文件。开发者可以选择在您的存档旁边存储其他数据，例如游戏配置文件。因此，请确保您下载的是正确的东西！
如何修复“Steam 无法同步”等问题
与Steam Cloud(Steam Cloud)保存良好相处所需的最后一点关键信息是出现问题时该怎么做。以下是一些一般提示：
- 检查Steam主页，看看他们的服务器是否已关闭。
- 重新启动调制解调器、路由器和计算机。
- 连接到不同的网络。
- 检查您的防火墙和防病毒设置。
- 禁用任何监控或修改网络流量以检查冲突的软件。
- 禁用你的VPN，Steam不喜欢它们，它们会让你被禁止。
现在，您已经掌握了充分利用Steam 云(Steam Cloud)保存功能所需的所有知识。这意味着您可以重新开始享受视频游戏这一最重要的工作。
How to Use Steam Cloud Saves for Your Games
Whіle the phrase “steаm cloud” may сonjure up images оf a boіling kettle or an old-timey train, when it comes to video games it’s a killer feature of the lаrgest PC gaming platform. If you game on Steam, you’ll definitely want to know how to use Steam Cloud game saves. When things go wrong, you’ll be glad your precious hours of progress are safely stored where no one can delete them.
What Are Steam Cloud Saves?
Games that you buy and download through Steam can upload and download save game files to Steam’s servers. In other words, if you lose your computer’s data, set up a new computer or play your Steam games on multiple computers, you can retrieve your latest save game via the internet.
When you uninstall a game and then reinstall it at a later date, your save games will be restored as well. In general, Steam Cloud saves let you forget about your save data and just get on with gaming.
Does Every Game Support Steam Cloud Saves?
Not every game on Steam supports cloud saves. This is something that’s left up to the developer. All games don’t work the same either. Developers get to choose what data is uploaded and what isn’t. If you want to know if a Steam game supports cloud saves, simply go to its store page and check if the Steam Cloud logo is under the list of game features.
Ensuring Cloud Saves Are Active for Your Game
It’s possible to disable cloud saves for all games on a given Steam computer. You can also enable or disable the feature for individual games as well. If your game supports Steam Cloud saves but isn’t syncing, you can check if the feature is enabled with ease.
To check the global cloud save settings:
- Open Steam.
- Select Steam > Settings.
- Switch to the Cloud tab.
- Ensure that Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for applications which support it is toggled to your preference.
- Select OK.
To check cloud save status for individual games:
- Open Steam.
- Go to your Steam library.

- Right-click on the game in question.
- Select Properties.
- Switch to the General tab.
- Check that cloud synchronization is toggled according to your preference.
Again, not all games have the Steam Cloud save feature, so if you don’t see that option for an individual game, it probably doesn’t support it. We encourage you to make manual backups of your save game data in that case.
Finding Downloaded Steam Cloud Saves on Your PC
Speaking of making manual backups,you can actually access the local copy of your cloud saves on the local machine. As long as you know the folder locations, of course:
- PC: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata
- Linux: ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata
Just remember that these are the default locations where cloud save data is stored locally. If you specified a custom folder when you installed Steam, you need to go to that folder instead.
Inside these folders, you’ll find the saves stored according to Steam App ID. This is a unique number that corresponds with a game’s catalogue number in the Steam store. You can easily find which ID goes with which game by entering the ID number on SteamDB.
What to Do with Steam Cloud Save Conflicts
Sometimes, you’ll get an error message from Steam that there’s a conflict between the save game stored on your local computer and the one that Steam has on their server. This usually happens because you progressed on two different versions of the same save game file.
Most of the time, the right choice is simply to pick the most recently modified version of the file, but in some cases that may actually not be the save you want. Just to be safe, we recommend choosing to cancel the cloud sync conflict the first time you see it.
Now go make a backup of the local file using the folder locations we just discussed in the previous section. If it turns out that the local files were the ones that you should have kept, you can go back and replace them manually.
Manually Download Your Steam Cloud Saves
Another neat option is the ability to view and download your Cloud Sync files using a web browser. Simply go to the View Steam Cloud and log into your Steam account if you aren’t already.
Here you can see every individual game file that’s stored in your Steam Cloud Sync account. All you have to do is select the download button and you have a copy for yourself. This is useful for using save files with other versions of a game and to quickly make a backup of the cloud files before they are removed in a sync conflict resolution as we just saw.
Just bear in mind that more than save game files are stored here. Developers may choose to store other data, such as game configuration files, right alongside your saves. So make sure you’re downloading the right thing!
How to Fix the “Steam Was Unable to Sync” and Other Issues
The last bit of crucial information you need to get along well with Steam Cloud saves is what to do when things go wrong. Here are some general tips:
- Check the Steam home page to see if their servers are down.
- Restart your modems, routers and computer.
- Connect to a different network.
- Check your firewall and antivirus settings.
- Disable any software that monitors or modifies network traffic to check for conflicts.
- Disable your VPN, Steam doesn’t like them and they can get you banned.
Now you’re armed with all the knowledge you need to get the most out of the Steam Cloud save feature. Which means you can get back to the all-important job of enjoying your video games.
