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.

        Uh oh, I cranked that number way up because I thought it would be convenient… Am I going to be in trouble soon?

          You can change it at any point, but if you don’t care about your saves getting into the 10+GB in size then leave it.

              All of them combined, my total never went above 3GB with them limited to 10 each. The save files did get smaller in later game as inaccessible areas from previous acts get purged.

      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.
