I lost days of play time to a stream cloud sync error - eviltoast

I’ve been playing a lot of Fallout 4 over the holidays. I started and finished the Nuka World DLC (killed all the baddies), made it to level 90, etc.

Today I was playing on my Deck as the battery got a little low (11%) so I saved my game, exited the game, and went to shut down.

As it was shutting down, the Deck displayed a message, something like “Syncing to Steam Cloud” as the logo was spinning.

A few hours later, on a full charge, I booted it back up, started Fallout 4 again and… some of my old saves are there, but only about 30% of them, and critically not the most recent ones.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is this a known issue? Can I fix it, or report it? I’ve basically lost interest in finishing the game now.

    I had cloud sync errors on every game I tried on both Linux desktop and steam deck. I was pulling my hair out trying to fix it. In my case it turned out to be my Adguard Home instance blocking some or all of the required links that steam uses for the sync. I manually whitelisted all of them and it’s all gravy now.
