If so, Steam will copy over the save files just fine.
Otherwise, copy the files to the appropriate subdirectory under:
The GameID is in the url to the steam store page for the game, or it can be searched for online. According to the site above it is "335300"
I recommend using SteamCloud game sync if it works for the game.
@Rogue and also thanks for pointing the faq
i was searching inside home for the folder, and wasnt abe to find the files. im using another place for the library, and i didnt search there because i thought proton kept config files at home, rather than at wherever the library is.
The save game files can be transfered to the appropriate directory. It usually works best to use the "Run Once" technique to get the file directories created before you overwrite the game save.
Make sure to reset the permissions on the files after you transfer them. They should be set to the same permission profile as the config settings, and be set to your login username and group (unless you use are doing something fancy that runs steam under a different username.)
i thought i should give it a shot before trying anything else. whatever wasnt overwritten or missed, doesnt looks to have messed up the game. i was able to load and play with my original file, and all settings were ok. i also didnt though about changing username, which i should have as what you wrote makes sense: those files could have problems with permissions, but it looks like nothing went wrong, so who knows...
Anyway, at least the game is working and i also didnt lost my file. i found out the absense of steam cloud in a hard way a year ago (lost a previous save file from this game when deleting and reinstalling things), which i why i knew i had to back it up manually. i also learned some people sync the file using cloud services that allow to sync external folders, so they can use the same file in different machines, but im not interested in that since i only use one, but i guess is good to know that a hack works.
You can see the values used in the mount options when running the
The default is most probably either 644 which is fine (read&write for you and read-only for the group and others) or 755 which includes the executable bit in addition. If it is the latter, you may want to remove the executable bit from all files copied off that file system. Otherwise your system may treat the save files like executables and offers to run them as such, which will obviously fail.

...but honestly the best long-term solution is migrating files to an ext4 partition instead
Great Info I th
In fact, $HOME/.steam/steam is a symlink that points to $HOME/.local/share/Steam.
If you are exploring the directory from another computer (e.g., by mounting the disk), the symlink will still reference the original system’s Steam folder, not the mounted disk’s Steam folder.
So, if your .steam folder appears empty or incorrect, don’t panic! This usually happens because the symlinks are broken or not properly resolved. You can fix it by directly accessing $HOME/.local/share/Steam .
That was 6 years ago. I think he already knows how symbolic links work.
imo, even if the thread is old, if the information can be useful to others, is ok to add it. sometimes i have find how to fix something from old comments.
your comment, on the othr hand, isnt helpful
I don't agree with you, I have a different opinion.
Over the past 6 years, so much has changed in Linux when it comes to gaming that such old advices is often harmful.
Is not only my opinion, is just something factual and logical.
half-true. old advices can only be harmful, if their content cannot be applied or work as intended for what it is specified in them.
Unlike windows or apple os´s, the way linux works changes little, because its main purpose is to be more stable and reliable, to be used industrially (ie most servers for most stuff, use linux). That also means, that everything is must be designed to be as consistent as possible within its own structure.
in less words: linux itself hasnt changed as much as you suggest.
Is also not a valid argument when the comment you were criticising was making an explanation about how to find the right path and how to make symlinks and use them to fix or avoid issues.
that information is still valid and true.
funny you wrote back all that, rather than checking first.
eg. syslinux > grub > grub 2 > efi - to show you how big these changes are
ifconfig > ip ; dd locked at the driver level ; wine > proton ; xorg > wayland
These are just simple examples, but Linux has changed a lot.
Debian today is not what debian was 20 years ago.
And most clones today behave more like windows, let's say that ideologically it's something like win7.
That's how I see it.
again, did you read the comment?
are the statements still true or not?
are they still valid relative to their content?
why your example has nothing to do with what is mentioned in it (about the symlinks, the directories, and how to fix related issues)?
you made a mistake, but is more telling you are still unable to read the comment to confirm it is. im just saying just learn to read twice before commenting stuff.
