If you still get the error a few seconds after pushing the 'Backup to Cloud'-button, just stay on the same menu (i.e. where the cloud save/restore buttons are located) without pressing a button or doing anything else. After some time (about four or five minutes for me, but your mileage may vary), the error message will magically change to "Just now", which means the cloud save has been uploaded. As I'm still affected by the 'savegame reset bug' (for which I gave another workaround in my own post), I have actually been forced to restore a cloud save a few times since the last server maintainance already, so I could verify that this cloud save is in fact working as intended. I guess the game is running into a timeout when the cloud save hasn't been completed after a few seconds, but the save process is actually still working in the background, as long as you don't actively abort it by leaving the cloud save menu.

As restoring a cloud save takes several minutes now as well, I would guess that some Sith Lord from EA's financial controlling force-choked the younglings at FM into reducing the server costs by 99%, and since the recent 'server maintainance' the cloud save management therefore is probably handled by some ancient IBM PC XT from the 80ies they found on the attic. Yeah, I,m still having the problem here. But somewhat like you I have noticed that it is working even though you get the "error" message. But only sometimes. Sometimes not. I,ll try what you suggested and wait a while on the cloud save page. Thanks JohnDo3
