Saving on the cloud

Hi,

I was wondering if the game would use any cloud saving technology so that we can install it on numerous computers and always be able to continue the same game ?

Thanks !

    I don't believe it has that feature yet, but it's definitely planned for post-ship.

    I just hope that you'll have the choice to keep your save on the PC OR to out them on the cloud, so that you're not dependent of an online feature.

    I was planning to put the save files folder to my dropbox folder, and put a link to that in the folder game...to have the same saves between my desktop and netbook... it seems to be doable, but i need to check after the game release

    I was banking on this as well, but since cross-platform play will be supported (see I reckon there's a system in place? Or, perhaps there will be soon... I'm really looking forward to bouncing between PC and iPad! :)

    Nice idea there using dropbox. Gonna try with google drive.

    ok it works perfectly, to get the link between the two folders open command prompt, in finder program and file type cmd, open it like admin, use this command:

    mklink /D "folder path where u want the link" "folder path in Dropbox"

    i have made in this way the folders: save, mpsave and characters

    Anyway, instead of dropbox u could use any cloud-program...

    Yeah, did that too, works like a charm. I used Google Drive.
    I've also sync-ed the Portraits folder

    Here's what i did. Note that you need to execute cmd with admin rights (search 'cmd', right click, run as admin) :

    cd C:\Users\YOURUSER\Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition
    mklink /D .\save "E:\Google Drive\PCSync\bgee\save"
    mklink /D .\Portraits "E:\Google Drive\PCSync\bgee\Portraits"
    mklink /D .\characters "E:\Google Drive\PCSync\bgee\characters"
    mklink /D .\tempsave "E:\Google Drive\PCSync\bgee\tempsave"
