Different Save location per Steam User

[Elliot]

My wife and I both use one computer to play Beat Saber. The game is registered to my steam account, and I have shared it with her steam account to play.

Even though the highscores are correctly loaded from her account name when she plays, all the highscore information from my game is incorrectly shown in the local version.

This means all songs have a rating attached (from my account) despite the fact my wife has never played them. This makes it impossible for her to know which levels she's done or not.

Can you please change this, so that the save info is located per Steam user rather than Windows account user :-) Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Sadly this will be hard to change because Steam has different folders for every user if Im right. I dont Know in how far the devs can affect this, but I dont think it will be possible

Hi Snakeeye98, thanks for the reply.

Any game that uses steam cloud supports this. The dev would need to move the save file to the user folder in steam, rather than using AppData/LocalLow. It is definitely possible, although I have no idea how difficult it might be.

The PC market is never going to replace a console in the lounge if the save can't be assigned to a user. The tools are in place to do that with Steam, Steam big picture, and Steam cloud. AFAIK It is free for devs to use, the cloud just needs to be integrated. Going into a seperate windows user account might be ok for a normal PC with a mouse and keyboard, but really isn't an answer for Big screen lounge use.

It really should become standard...although looking in my AppData folder, it is shocking how many devs still use it as a place to save game data.

The other solution is to look at how easy it would be to launch a second version of Steam (running on a different windows user account) only using an xbox controller... It needs to be simple and idiot proof, so a young child could easily do it. If anyone has idea, or you snakeeye98, I would be greatful.

You may are right there, I apologize. If this is really this eazy to acomplish the devs should shurely implement this. :) But sadly I can't help you right now.

Bump in agreement. My brother & I both play this game on the same PC & it's fun competing to see who can beat a song with a better score, but it mostly bugs out & doesn't know who's high score to show & when to record a new high score. I'm also using family sharing & we're logging into our respective Steam accounts to play. Apparently having seperate accounts on the PC itself can seperate the saves succesfully, but that's yet another long step when switching who's playing. It would be great if high scores were tracked based on Steam accounts themselves.
