3. Moving Your Save to Steam
If you had gone through the initial set up, your file pathway to The Ascent's game saves on Steam should look like (or similar to):
- C:/Users/<your username>/AppData/Local/TheAscent/Saved/SaveGames
Here you will see the throwaway save that you would have made if you followed my initial setup as well as a steam_autocloud.vdf file if you have it turned on in the properties of the game.
Turn off the cloud save feature while you move your save over. This can be done by:
Right clicking The Ascent in your Steam game library -> Left clicking Properties -> General tab -> Un-check the "Keep games saves in the Steam Cloud for The Ascent" under Steam Cloud
With that done:
- Delete both the SaveProfiles.sav and SaveProfiles_Backup.sav from Steam's save location.
- Rename your copied Game Pass save file to SaveProfiles.sav.
- Move it over to Steam's save location.
- Press play on Steam.
You should be greeted by your character moved over and upon resuming game, Steam should create a SaveProfiles_Backup.sav of your copied save.
Now you can turn back on Steam's auto cloud feature if you wish.
