Cloud saves reverts/loses gear if playing on multiple computers
I've had an issue crop up randomly where:
I play on two separate computers with the same account (which should be fine if this saves on the cloud properly), but sometimes when I switch from one system to another (usually with several hours in between), the system doesn't pull the cloud saves and loses any upgrades, new equipment, or materials I had when I exited the game last.
Is there a way to verify that the cloud saves are working properly or to make sure things don't revert to a much older save without just deleting the game from one of the computers?

When I switch computers I stick the users/'user name'/AppData/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim folder with my game save on a thumb drive and transfer it that way. I guess I don't quite trust cloud reliability. So far so good. It's also handy as a backup if the data gets corrupted.
Yeah, I started to do that after the first time I lost my upgrades. It was a little irritating, but worked. But, well, if I don't remember to work my way all the way back into that folder every time and copy the files, it's very frustrating to lose a bunch of upgrades. :-(
And if I actually forget which system I was last on... *poof*
And don't forget about giving each "Valheim" folder an appropriate dated name until you use it. Don't ask me how I know
