I am still doing some testing with the Steam Cloud saves. There is a hard limit of 5000 files, and you can easily pass that with a few pilot accounts. I will be doing some testing to see if there is a way to just transfer the last played account, instead of all of them. This could be a factor in the other issue with the cloud randomly skipping files on the transfer. Converting everything to Uni…
Build 0.0150 I have been working all week on getting the Cloud saves with cross platform compatibility working... it was a fail. I am extremely close, but for some reason, random files are being ignored during the save folder transfer. I suspect the reason for these issues revolves around the large number of files that create the Astrox universe, but I am not sure yet. I will keep working on th…
