You've put in your blood, sweat, tears, and most importantly your time, on your Epic Borderlands 4 save file and made sure it was uploaded into the cloud. But when you go to log in away from that PC, you're seeing an old echo of your past, not the up to date save you worked so hard on!
If you have a cloud save that should be more recent, we have a bit of advice on what to check.
First, to enable the Cloud Saves, follow the steps below:
- Open the Epic Games Launcher.
- Click your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Click Settings.
- Select the Enable Cloud Saves checkbox.
You can also check Epic's guide here, and can reach their support team if you need additional help.
Then, recovering your most advanced save:
- You need to delete the outdated saves in the other PC - the one that is showing up as your old echo of incomplete progress and any others you find, until there's nothing there.
- Restart the game again, and since there should be no saves now, you won't see any Vault Hunters.
- Because there is nothing, you'll create a new Vault Hunter.
- Head into the game and progress past the prologue.
- Exit that game, then locate your Borderlands 4 Save Game folder.
- Copy the saves from that one older PC to the current one from the Documents location.
- If the save is coming from OneDrive, this won't work as intended - make sure you are transferring the saves without using the OneDrive copy.
- Keep in mind - this directory has to be created by the game, not manually by you.
- After you paste the "more progress" one, start the game again - and you should be good to go!
