Noita on Steam – Understanding the Download After Quitting

noitasteam

Every time I quit the game, a small file downloads extremely slowly. I get less than 1kb/s on that download for some reason, even though I normally get 100mb/s or better. This is a problem because I can't play anything else while it downloads; so when my friends invite me to play something else, they have to wait for me.

What is going on here, and can I fix it?

By default, Steam will sync your save games every time the game exits. You can disable this easily:

  1. Right-click the game in the library and click "Properties".
  2. Go to the "Updates" tab.
  3. Uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for Noita.

For some reason the cloud synchronization is really slow for this game. That is something you probably can't fix; you might want to take it up with the developers or Valve. It could have something to do with there being an unusually large amount of files within LocalLow/Nolla_Games_Noita/save00 - 451 in my case.
