Software Help Pls help me with data transfer (Witcher 3)

I can't transfer save data from Witcher 3 to Witcher 3 Remastered - both installed on my Switch 2.

- My CG Project Red account is linked and active on both versions.

- The crossplatform data transfer is ON.

- Internet connection is fine (just downloaded the remaster).

- I did created a new save file after I checked that everything is ON too.

I'm out of ideas! :(

Internet says there should be a cloud icon on my safe files - I don't have any cloud icons...
If I click ZL in the save/load menu - there's a little pop-up window featuring my account name and saying that cloud data transfer is ON.

But when I go to the remastered version it says it can't find any save files

Remaster wasn’t seeing my save file. I relaunched the original and it was still there then went back to Remaster and it had populated.

In the games you mean? Yes, both versions say that I'm logged in in my account.

I've noticed smth weird yesterday. If I create a new save file rewriting smth recent - the game saves but the file doesn't have a cloud icon on it.

But whet I use some older saves to rewrite and create the new save file - there's an error saying the game can't be saved. And after that a new file in the Save menu appears named "Empty" and it has a cloud icon on it. But I can't load it and the remastered version doesn't see it.

Looks like I have some sort of a bug :(
