Description

I've installed some Steam games and two custom games (one from GOG and one from Amazon) on my Steam Deck. I'm running both custom games via Steam, so they have their own prefix folder below /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata:

(deck@steamdeck compatdata)$ pwd

The two custom games are 3696693751 ("Shadow of Mordor", GOG) and 3856528840 ("Broforce", Amazon).

Now, the problem is that the saves of both custom games are not detected by Ludusavi, although they are there alongside the "native" Steam games:

(deck@steamdeck compatdata)$ find 3696693751/ -name "GameData.sav"
3696693751/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/WB Games/Shadow of Mordor/Saves/GameData.sav

However, it works if I add /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3696693751/pfx/ as a new root of type Wine prefix.

At first I thought that Ludusavi may need the installation files of a game to identify it (which are not in the "right place" for custom games), but it also detects Steam "native" games that I've uninstalled long time ago...

Hi! This is actually a new feature coming in the next release (originally discussed in #130). The main issue here is mapping between a "non-Steam game" ID like 3696693751 and a regular Steam ID like 241930 (Shadow of Mordor). In the next release, it'll work as long as the shortcut name in Steam matches the game title that Ludusavi expects (e.g., Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor).

Oh, very nice! And thanks for the quick response! I've actually been looking at the open issue list before posting but, apparently you've closed that one only 3 days ago...
