I rarely launch GOG Galaxy to start a game. I just start the game, because I don't need Galaxy sitting there in my PC memory. I use Galaxy to install/update games and that's that. Now it just happended... I opened it to install a game, and all my Baldur's gate quick saves were replaced with OLDER quicksaves from the cloud. Cloud syncing does no timestamp comparison at all. It just overwrites everything it finds. I was just lucky that I had a recent NAMED save that survived.

If you really have to overwrite files this brutally, have the decency not to call it 'syncing' at least. Thanks.

Edit: I found out real files were not overwritten. Ony the pictures you see in the loading screen were. So I see pictures from older saves, bu the saves themselves are the most recent ones. Still strange.

What you said is not an accurate description of what my experience with the same situation has been, which has happened to me many different times over the years.

For me, what happens is, Galaxy pops up a prompt that says something like "The save data on this computer conflicts with the data in the cloud. Which save data do you want to keep?" (note: those aren't the exact words since I'm paraphrasing from memory).

Then Galaxy displays the sava data for both places (i.e. "this PC" and "the Cloud") with both having dates & timestamps listed right beside them, and then it lets me choose with a checkbox option which one I want to keep.

However, I use Galaxy 1.2, not 2.0, so perhaps that explains why this didn't happen for you. Or maybe it usually works in the way I described even with 2.0 (I wouldn't know).

I'm not sure what happened in your case though.

It didn't ask anything to me. Anyway it's a bit strange, because I found out real files were not overwritten. Ony the pictures you see in the loading screen were. So I see pictures from older saves, bu the saves themselves are the most recent ones.
That made me think that the files themselves were replaced, but it was not the case.
