Suggestion - Save game data backup/rstore to Stadia PRO Account

LemonLime — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:16:20 GMT

I would like to suggest for Stadia to offer a way to backup/restore game save states in your PRO Stadia account as save game data corruption is an issue that can affect any game.

If a feature existed to backup/restore game save data to your Stadia PRO account, then a user can recover when a save game state is corrupted, by restoring a previous save state.

To clarify, I am suggesting a cloud backup/restore of game data from within your Stadia account with no local file upload/download or ability to edit game files.

Backup/Restore of save game data would have been an amazing feature to use when I just had this happen to me: https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-General/Boarderlands-3-Guardian-Rank-Glitch/m-p/13592#M6468

@LemonLime : The only catch with that is that not everything is stored on the Stadia server, rankings typically get pushed to a ranking server someplace else and not just to a server where some save data is stored. I don't think it would necessarily help with your BL3 issue. Just my thoughts on this though, so feel free to post a suggestion via the Stadia app.

@Mad_Dog_Bravo: Thanks for your reply. I understand and agree that games can vary on how save data/stats are stored. In the case of ranking servers, you are correct that a save/restore feature would not work. Games that use save data files only would benefit from this feature. In regards to BL3, on PC you would have a Profile.sav and other *.sav files (game save data) that would include all progress, inventory and guardian rank stats. I was suggesting the ability to restore the save game state for games that use data files.

Thanks for the tip on submitting a suggestion via the app.

So after almost a year - has anything changed since then? Or the silence means there's no hope for google to add saves backup feature in any foreseeable future?

I'm a new user, Stadia was introduced in Poland this month and I'm a bit afraid to play long games here (I have Borderlands 3). I was also wondering about buying Cyberpunk 2077 but we all know how buggy it is currently. If saves got corrupt, all the play time would be wasted...

This functionality isn't available.

You could also check THIS topic with some option you have.

Can you or somebody else tell me how I can save (if it’s possible) games while streaming games on stadia? Or if it’s supposed to save automatically or something? Been at this a few days now and am getting frustrated
