A Linux user was reporting that steam sync instructions was not working / there was no mysav folder in the game folder. It appears the umineko linux .exe doesn't save to the mysav folder or the saves folder - it saves to "~/.Umineko4hdz/". Fortunately this folder is not automatically synced with steam, so there is no issue with steam sync intefering, even though the .exe patch doesn't work at all.

The user enabled steam sync as follows:

I have Steam Cloud Sync working between 2 of my Linux computers and 2 of my Windows computers. On Windows, the bat file works as expected. On Linux, it's just a matter of replacing the saves directory in the Umineko executable location with a link to ~/.Umineko4hdz/ ie: ln -s /home/ryukishi/.Umineko4hdz/ /home/ryukishi/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Umineko/saves Works great so far and I've been enjoying a seemless experience across my many devices :smile:

edit: This is no longer correct! the .Umineko4hdz was due to the .exe not being patched correctly? or using an old version of the linux .exe? In any case this info is no longer accurate.

Just a heads up on the Linux/GNOME crash issue (Ubuntu 19.10): Onikakushi - no crash Watanagashi - no crash Tatarigoroshi - CRASH on first launch only, then normal Himatsubushi - no crash --> you may want to change the warning to "... may crash GNOME ..., if the issue persists, ..." or something

We should update the warning in the Wiki and the Installer to state GNOME might crash instead of it will crash (or do some testing to double check). Admittedly this is just one report. I will ask fallenguru what their GNOME version is as well.

edit I aske dwhat their GNOME About panel says, and it said ...:

.... GNOME 3.34.2. sometimes Canonical backport things, or use older/newer versions for some components. my gnome-shell package (what crashes) is at 3.34.3-1ubuntu1~19.10.1, for example. in any case it's stock 19.10 with latest updates.

edit2: The issue https://github.com/07th-mod/higurashi-assembly/issues/97 should be fixed before this issue is fixed

Given that the gnome issue is completely fixed, and that the steam sync issue is unclear, I'm closing this issue.

If the steam sync info needs updating, open a new issue.
