The Witcher 3: Wild HuntMy cloud save for this game is too full through no fault of my own(7 posts)(7 posts)

I got three savegames in the cloud, each roughly 2 MB in size. And yet every time I quit the game Galaxy complains about file size. What is it? Something literally called "non-game-related", bringing the total W3 wants to upload to 250 MB every time.

Can anyone tell me what it is, and if I can delete it from the cloud without it causing problems of any kind for me and/or my game?

I have the same non-game-related data, which is 171 000 kB. Would like to know if this is needed as well, since excess data will be deleted after 31st August..

Hello. These are saved screenshots. If you go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\The Witcher 3\screenshots and select all of them you'll see that the size matches that of that file stored in the GOG cloud save manager.

No, I don't even have that screenshots subdir and 293MB of non-game-related file in cloud for GOG... ???

I think this link is useful to help you download a cloud backup and manually check what actually is "non-game-related":

Yes, it is. It doesn't matter if you don't have the local folder on your drive, the non-game-related archive contains all your cloud-saved game photo mode screenshots. As you suggested, it's easy to check, download the cloud backup and check the archive.

Still. Someone had this brilliant idea to limit cloud-save storage size to 200MB per game so it can't take even one single playthrough the W3.

You might want to manage your cloud save in the same time as you delete the files on you local drive and AFTERwards synch them with playing the game and stay onine.

I gave some strait forward ideas and expectations towards the developers here:
1 Keep cloud saves under 180 MB
2 Improve recognition of older saves
3 Limit the maximum number of save slots in-game
