Steam Deck

Steam Deck

Bottles documents folder?
Hi, I recently got my hand on the steam deck and been loving it. Before I get onto the detail, I just want to say that this is my first time ever using Linux, so I am really not familiar with it.

I managed to add non-steam game and bottles running just fine on it, but I noticed that every time that I close the game, the settings reset. I know the game that I played used the Documents folder, and all of the config files are stored there.

Is there a way to make sure that the Documents folder does not reset each time I play the game?

I tried running this command on Konsole, while it did help with the problem and the Documents folder does not reset, it cause another problem, the controller on the deck is not being detected. I can still interact with the game via touch screen and keyboard though. Here's the command I used:

sudo flatpak override --filesystem=home com.usebottles.bottles

Is there a way so that the Documents folder don't get reset and for the controller to still work?

Thank you in advance

Use flatseal to check your filesystem permissions for bottles.

Someone suggested me to do this but it seems that it will produce the same result, while the documents file are maintained, the controller isn't being registered as a controller sadly. I could remap it to a keyboard key and it would read it though, but it won't be perfect as the keys aren't as versatile as a button mapped. Unless i did it wrong
