i own the game and my friend is staying over and bought it. when they logged in on their account to play the game, they were logged in as them, but playing on my save data.
#save data bleeding between two users

Do you mean they had access to your dungeons when they played on your own computer?
Isn't it because it is saved in your game's files?
lament comet
they were on my file, but logged into their steam
it seems the game is using the same data on the pc, and doesn't care which user loads it
so now I'm scared what got uploaded to his steam cloud; is he going to get home to find out he's on my data? we won't know till he goes home tomorrow
hollow thorn
Did he have all your rings too?... lol
leaden shell
well then its steam's fault
then it didnt synchronize the save data with the cloud
ofc i only store the data for the game itself
not which user plays
but this happens in all games ive played
in Elden Ring too for example
when i change user, it still uses my local save data
lament comet
basically:
-i played on my pc with my data
-he came over to visit and bought the game
-logged in as himself and booted up the game
-my save data

not sure how the steam cloud internals work
lament comet
I'm concerned cause he got a save cloud update so i think we just duped my data but we won't know until tomorrow
I'm curious; if he goes online will it give me two steam ids??
leaden shell
give who two steam IDs?
lament comet
basically when i went online it assigned me a user based on my steam ID right?
if he was to go online with my save data but his steam profile, couldn't that break something?
I'm scared to check
