  • Game Version: 20260108.9692.W and 20260108.9694.M

  • Platform: Steam windows

  • Mods: Never used

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System (OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage…): GeForce Now

  • Steps to Reproduce: Load up a save created on Mac Steam on Windows Steam

  • Please provide the entire save file(s) from the date when the issue occurred.
    Can be provided.

  • Details:
    Since the most recent update, I’m seeing what looks like a Steam Cloud save compatibility issue between Mac and Windows. I primarily create saves on Mac, and then I load and continue those same cloud saves on Windows using Steam via GeForce Now, which has always worked without problems until now.

    With versions 20260108.9694.M (Mac) and 20260108.9692.W (Windows), Mac-created saves now trigger a compatibility warning when loaded on Windows, and I’ve also noticed more bugs than usual on these saves, so it seems like cross-platform Mac ↔ Windows saves may no longer be fully compatible?
