The more I play Baldur’s Gate 3, the more fun I am having, but as time has gone on, the more I find that the game is somehow breaking both Steam and my entire household internet.

    I turned off cloud saves for it. It was murdering my patience when a friend would ask me to play another game while I was in a bg session. I cant figure out if it uploads ALL saves, or just the most recent. I quick save a ton, so i guess i could be to blame… But since im only playing on one pc, and not on my deck, i dont need the cloud save atm.

      The game has an insanely high number of saves it keeps by default, 20 for both auto saves and quick saves. I reduced it to 10 for both as I never need to go that far back (or if I want the option I just make a manual save), that alone will cut your Steam Cloud size in half.
      EDIT - The number is actually 25, even higher than I remembered.

      I like the cloud saves as a backup. You can manually back them up to a NAS or USB stick but so far it hasn’t been a problem for me yet. I am in act 1 still.
