If cloud sync is on you will lose your auto and quick saves.

Sorry Bethesda it's still broke. Care to try again.

also, the update causes the launcher to crash about 50% of the time.

looks like it's three steps backwards and one forward on that patch.

I believe I have fixed the save issue for now. First, I deleted everything in my "Steam / userdata / ##### / #####" folder. Then changed the security on that now empty ##### folder to deny write privileges to everyone. Deny for users / admins / everyone. Steam tries to sync the "bad" junk from the cloud and it never is able to write it to the folder. The game will then always use whats in my "My Documetns" folder. (Good saves.) I do sometimes get a message when steam starts saying that it wasnt able to sync. awesome in my book! lol

As Clint Eastwood once said...what a cluster F...

I don't think its steam cloud. I have had it disabled from the beginning and every time it crashes (about every hour or 2 usually) I lose my quick and auto saves.
