The problem with the savegames #64

Closed kgudalov closed 6 years ago

kgudalov commented 6 years ago

When you start games that have already been run in wine steam (Gothic 3, Skyrim SE ), you can not find the old save.

Same applies to Mirrors Edge (save game is not synced). However it does work for Final Fantasy VII, but could be because it has a launcher which seems to handle the sync potentially.

kgudalov commented 6 years ago

The situation even worse. The games mentioned above can't save the settings at all.

Hello @kgudalov, @tingvarsson, cloud saves are managed by the steam client, not Proton. Let's track this issue in the steam-for-linux issue tracker at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5640.

I thought this was just me. In Skyrim I am at level 54 and it can only find my level 10 save and older. I copied the ###54###.ess files in the location that the steam folder points too (/home/me/My documents/Skyrim SE/saves where the level 10 resided and it did not work.

I did find something I will try later. If you add SLocalSavePath= to your Skyrim.ini file in you My Documents folder it should change the save location and allow you to reload your saves. I hope it works.

Then I need to figure out how to transfer my Doom 3 BFG directory from Lutris. It is 60 GBs and I do not want to re-download it.

Edit: Found my save location here /home/your name/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/#######/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/Skyrim.ini I used this find /home/your name/ -name "Skyrim.ini"

Yes, if I was using windows steam over wine it did saves in ~/Documents. With proton it makes own folder for each game. Need some option to repoint it to such a path:

/home/your name/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/#######/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/Skyrim.ini
