Save file from my Linux install doesn't sync to my Windows install

[Marrodz]

I installed Dirt Showdown in the Linux version of Steam and played a long time. Then I reinstalled most of my games in my Windows partition (due lack of controller support in Linux), and the save game is gone! All my advance only reflects in Linux but I had to start a new game in Windows.

Any way to manually export the save game from Linux to Windows? I already checked the game file is not compatible among to simply copy & paste the file :(

BTW, where is the actual official support from the publisher?

I'm on Linux and I've never played this game on a keyboard, always only with my X360 wireless controller.

I've added this line:

Give it a try, no need to play this game on Windows, it works great with a controller.

I think this game is considered abandonware now...

It's not even listed in the Steam Store and anywhere in Codemasters' website or that disappeared Github repo that was used to report problems on the Linux version of the game...

I also ended up with this problem unfortunately...

Too bad! The game is a lot of fun
