Many PC gamers are experiencing frustrating issues with Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service that are impacting their gaming experience. OneDrive automatically syncs files when users sign in with a Microsoft account, causing conflicts with game settings when gamers frequently switch between devices.
Examples of these problems include the Rockstar Launcher hanging due to synced files and settings in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla not applying correctly. Gamers are calling for Microsoft to make OneDrive an opt-in service rather than opt-out to prevent these issues from occurring.
To avoid these problems, users can opt out of OneDrive syncing by unlinking their PC from the service and disabling the app from starting on boot. It is important for gamers to consider the involvement of cloud storage services like OneDrive when troubleshooting issues with PC games.
These issues are highlighting the need for better integration between cloud storage services and gaming platforms to ensure a seamless experience for users. Microsoft may need to make changes to OneDrive to cater to the unique needs of PC gamers who often switch devices and require specific game settings to be preserved.
