    Hi, I'd like to disable steam cloud but just for Dredmor. How can I do it?

    Go to the folder where your game keeps saves (location depends on your OS, so for the time being you won't get an answer about where that location is; I hope you know where to look), and find a file called "config.xml". There, you have this line:
    Code:
    <setting name="enableSteamCloud" value="1"/>
    Just change the value to 0.

    Well, I didn't add it. But I'm glad it works!

    Lol. I'm glad it works too cause mods + steamcloud were making me crash constantly (dunno why. Disabling the cloud fixed my issue)

    Goddamn, Kazeto, you're so useful. I wish I could put you in my pocket and take you with me to places.

    It's worth noting that most games allow you to disable steam cloud individually by right clicking in steam list, going to properties, then updates tab. However, this method doesn't work for Dredmor. It'd be nice if this was allowed, though.

    Can't imagine it'd be harder than referring to steam documentation and referring steam to this very .xml line. I imagine workshop functionality could be handled this way, too. But it's not like I know anything about code.
