Moving game settings and saves to another PC
Hello. I currently have Steam installed on two Windows 10 installations, on my PC. On different disks.

One of those installations is old, where I've been playing Steam games so far.

I'm trying to migrate everything to the other, NEW installation, before deleting the old one. I just installed Steam on the new W10, but I'm not seeing any of my games' settings or saves there. They're still only accessible on the old W10.

How can I move the settings and saves, from one to the other? From what I understand, Steam Cloud is supposed to keep all of that synchronised so I can access it from both W10 installations, right?

There's two games I wanna do that with, specifically:
1) Sheepy: A Short Adventure.
2) The Sinking City (Remastered).

I haven't been able to find a discussion here that addresses my situation. Except for stuff that is like 10+ years old, in which case it could be very unreliable.

Thanks for your time. Best regards.

The Sinking City (Remastered) uses steam cloud going by what is say on the store page. So in this case all it would be is installing the game on your new pc and steam cloud should sync your saves to the new pc. You may have to open up the game after installing it to force it to sync.

do you mean for all of the different games?

(edit, saw the two you talked about. same applies, though.)

if so, that is not the easy answer you are looking for

each game is going to decide where and how to keep those

some use the appdata folders

some use the documents folder

some use multiple folders in both their main download and then on the system

some even used to use the registry (not sure if any are still doing this)

i do not know if they are automatically saved to the cloud or not

but i do not think so

you are going to have to find out where the devs decided the files are put

edit

that would be for the settings, mostly

if it does have steam cloud, the actual save game should still be there

And Sheepy does not use Steam cloud, so that's that. According to PCGamingWiki, its savefile should be in your Steam folder, steamapps/compatdata/1568400/pfx so you'd have copy them over yourself; whether or not that path is correct I can't say, since the game in general doesn't appear all that significant so I wouldn't necessarily trust the data they have.

In your library, right next to the "run" or "install" button, you should be seeing a cloud status icon (which also has a mouseover telling you what it means).

edit:plus you are in three other threads posting the same damn thing

this one command fixed all the problems you miraculously seemed to share?

Considering that he wants people to use cmd? Virus or malware.

Thanks everyone for your help! :) Everything's solved now. Here's the update:

1) Sheepy: It was indeed a matter of copying the local game save files, since the game effectively doesn't use Steam Cloud. I thought it did, but upon looking again I verified it doesn't.

I found the location of the files, here: C:\Users\(Your Local Username)\AppData\Local\SheepyAShortAdventure\User Data\Default\IndexedDB\chrome-extension_dkoamdilnalhkoenefeomjikocgieika_0.indexeddb.leveldb

I copied all files inside that folder, to the same folder in the new Windows 10 install. Overwriting when needed.

2) The Sinking City: I hadn't tried just running it in the new Windows 10 install, because I thought maybe I needed to do something that would work for both games. But when I ran it, everything worked. I had automatic access to the game saves, because it does use Steam Cloud for this.

I was also a bit too cautious, because I had already lost some progress to a previous, unrelated issue with this game.

3) The malware attempt: Thanks to everyone who pointed out the malicious intent from that reply. Don't worry, I knew better than to follow those instructions. Thanks for reporting it too. I assume someone did, because it has been deleted already.
