How To Transfer Saves Steam Deck/PC
Steam Deck To PC
Alright, so to transfer your save from steam deck to pc, you will first have to either use a program to transfer files from your steam deck, or connect via usb.

If you are using a program on steam deck make sure to have hidden files enabled, here's how to do this quickly.

Right click the Hamburger in the Upper Right Corner of your Explorer Menu and enable it in the options

Now you will have to navigate to the /home/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/482400
Pictured below

Once you are here, head to the following
PFX -> drive_c -> users -> Steam User -> Saved Games -> Nightdive Studios -> System Shock -> Saved

Here is where your saves are.
PC:
Now get your save from your PC.
Open the Run App or use windows + r
Paste this in
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\SystemShock\Saved\SaveGames\
This should bring you straight to your saves, which is located in your user folder.

Now that you have your save from your PC, plug in your steam deck to your PC, then copy from PC folder to the steam deck folder. If you want to wireless transfer, I recommend KDE connect, it works great on PC/Deck

if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

PC to Steam Deck
Alright, so to transfer from PC to Steam Deck, you will either need to plug in your steam deck, or use Warpinator/KDE Connect
Warpinator Guide Here(not mine) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISVozaJzLmg
KDE connect - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbP0YCdAvho

Then you will need to go to your saved games folder which is under your user profile, or you can paste this
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\SystemShock\Saved\SaveGames\

After that you will have to add the file to Warpinator/KDEconnect to be sent

After that head to
/home/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/482400/
Then go to
PFX -> drive_c -> users -> Steam User -> Saved Games -> Nightdive Studios -> System Shock -> Saved

Then simply drag and drop the save here, and presto, you now have the save added on steam deck.

Cheers. This is meant to help transfer saves since steam cloud is currently not working on this game.

Will probably update it later tonight to add a separate section for pc to steam deck.

Well Deck to PC is what the instructions above provide, I just reversed them to move it from PC to Deck, so yeah... they'll work fine either way

But this is just meant for now, I'm sure it will be fixed on their next patch :steamthumbsup:

They really need to just fix the cloud saves for this game.
