Full support for the April 28th Steam update. The old Steam version is no longer supported by this version of CloudRedirect and all versions going forward, so update your Steam. When CloudRedirect presents the error dialog, that means that you still have the core STFixer patches, just not the CloudRedirect ones.
This release includes improvements from previous testing releases that were not pushed out via auto update. Here's a sampling of what those changes are, check GitHub for the full list:
AutoCloud handling improvements
v1.0.5 only uploaded saves that games wrote after CloudRedirect was installed for the first time. This was a design decision to deal with SteamTools 760 nonsense while achieving a result that was better than what existed before (SteamTools itself did the same thing) while avoiding painful work. Anyway, the painful work is done:
This release implements AutoCloud bootstrap! On the first cloud-touching RPC for an app (changelist, launch intent, batch begin), CloudRedirect now scans the game's local user files according to the app's installscript autocloud rules (we parse and enforce those now, just like Steam normally does!) and imports every matching pre-existing file into the cloud cache.
-
Reads the game's rules (root, path, pattern, platform, recursive) from installscript.vdf.
-
Wanders around the resolved roots with platform/exclude filters, applies the canonical %Token% prefix per file, and skips files that already exist as cloud blobs or have a delete tombstone.
-
Integrity checks that mirror real Steam Cloud to prevent data loss in scenarios involving stale data
This is part of the road towards being able to trust the contents of the game's save folders, so that I can upload pre-existing data from before CloudRedirect was installed, without the game having to touch that data to prove that it belongs to the game and is not contamination. Another update will be coming shortly to fully solve that annoying SteamTools-related edge case.
Multi-account isolation, for games that store their save in the game's steamapps/common/ directory! This comes for free with the handling improvements
