Saved Files Location - Easy Access

[Theoden Tibersaurus Ednew]

1. Right Click on any title in your library
2. Go to Properties
3. Press Locate Saved File Folder

Alot of saved folders are labeled as numbers or searching multiple folders to find the folder with the correct files inside. Alot of folders related to the title sometimes doesn't have save files so it sometimes can be misleading. There are multiple locations where saved files can be stored.

The issue is steam doesn't know where the game saves the files, its not something that steam has access to.

But steam does have access to is Steam Library Folders.

Yes, but steam doesn't know if the game is saving there, or anywhere else. So there isn't a way to have a locate save folder button when steam doesn't know what the save folder is.

an option that allows steam to access hidden folders or Appdata

Let Steam Access these folders

Windows > User > Profile > Appdata > Local
Windows > User > Profile > Appdata > LocalLow
Windows > User > Profile > Appdata > Roaming
This PC > Documents

Not really sure steam will do this eventually but its something that should show up in the next update. It would be useful for all.

Again, that is useless because steam doesn't know where the save data is.

I'm not sure how much clearer it can be. There can't be a button to open a save folder location, when steam doesn't know what the location is.

They won't do it, because as already explained they don't know what the location of the save folder is.

Steam having access to folders does not mean Steam knows what is actually inside the folders. The save locations are linked via the game, not Steam.

As said, you cannot open a folder when it's not known where said folder actually is.

Steam knows where Cloud Saves are put from if available but that's it and that is also something the developer has to specify properly.
