save game not synchronized between computers?!

[LoWang]

If I install steam and Faster Then Light on another pc I don't have the option "continue". Why can't the game progress be synchronized using steam cloud?

The game has to support Steam's cloud feature, and a few of them don't. FTL is iirc supposed to support Steam Cloud, but it is broken and it seems Valve and subset games are unable to find a solution for the problem. They are looking into it, that said, they're been "looking into" it for some time.

so now I am moving continue.sav file between computers using flash drive :-]

Apologies for that. The feature was planned but something is wrong either on Valve's end or in the game itself. FTL devs have replied in the past and it seems as though it is something that Valve should fix, but on their end, it already looks fixed.

So yeah... limbo.

My solution was to configure the save game folder as a Dropbox folder. So now Dropbox does Steam's dirty work.

Hi, I just wanted to know if there's any hope for cross-platform cloud support to be implemented.

By the way, according to this message, my guess would be the issue is not on Steam's side:
