Opening a game in offline mode (with auto saves enabled) wipes out locally saved save games. #4345

After playing around with some settings, it appears the game just ignores save files when played offline. This is not an issue with auto saves, and I am still trying to pinpoint what this game is doing. It does not happen with other games, for instance, brotato works fine offline. |

Some games just work like that, it's not heroic causing that, I imagine it's the same thing with the official Epic Games Launcher If anything, it's something to report to the developers of that game to implement it differently |

Yes, I booted up my windows virtual machine to try and see if it happened on the official launcher. Same thing happened over there. Thank you for your response btw, this problem (as you said) is not with heroic, and I shall close this issue. |

Just in case another one finds this issue with this specific game again, I managed to fix it by symlinking the 'real' (online only) saves to the location of the 'reset' offline saves. To do this, just symlink everything in the directory heroic appoints as the save game directory (you can find it in the cloud saves section), to it's parent folder. This fixed the issue I was having, and I hope it fixes this issue for someone else too. |
Describe the bug
I had my laptop with me, and tried launching Wizard of Legend, which is a game I have automatic saves enabled for. When I launched the game, I noticed all my progress was gone, which is not the desired behaviour.
Proposed solution: don't try to update save games when in offline mode.
