Android Cross Device Save Issues

evets122

I'm curious if cross-device saves are working for anyone on Android. It appears that my Android devices can only play saves that the device created itself.

On my Android devices (2.7.3.1 on tablet and phone) in-game I have Data Folder set to /storage/emulated/0/Documents/BaldursGate1 and Permissions shows Yes.

When I start and save a game on my Android tablet, the save shows up in that .../Documents/BaldursGate1/save folder. However, if I sync the .../save folder to my Android phone, in-game the phone will not see the tablet save file in the load screen, even though it is physically in the filesystem. If I start and save a game on my Android phone, and then sync that to my Android tablet, the tablet also cannot see the phone save in-game.

If I sync both tablet/phone saves to my Windows game (2.7.3.0), the Windows game can load/play the Android saves. But if I save a game from Windows and sync it to the Android devices, in-game the Android devices will not see the Windows save files.

Here is the file directory, showing 3 saves started from the 3 different devices (tablet, phone, & Windows):


Here is what the tablet shows (just the tablet created save):


Here is what the phone shows (just the phone created save):


Here is what the Windows game shows (all 3 save shows):


Am I missing something to get the Android devices to recognize saves other than their own created ones?

Nevermind, I didn't realize the "Import" button in the Options -> Data Folder needs to be pressed every time in order to import new save files synced from other devices into the designated Data Folder into the game itself. While it's not as seamless of a sync as I was hoping for, it does get the job done. Will leave this up for anyone else who may have been confused!

Good to hear it works for you. And yes, the problem with the lack of a more seamless sync was the massive number of mod files it synced during the beta.

We'll look at something that mixes the two worlds and auto-sync saves in the future.

Makes sense and that would be great in the future to treat that save folder differently, thank you!
