  • I’ve had to fuck around with my Windows saves (backed to the cloud) when installing the Linux version of Wasteland 2 and the two Pillars of Eternity games and I eventually just gave up and installed them with Proton so it would download the saves to the right place for them to work.

    If you play Deadfire on multiple Linux devices you need to install with Proton compatibility otherwise cloud saves don’t work at all because Steam doesn’t back up the right folder (it uses the Windows folder name which has a lower case o in the word Of), that means that if you wipe your hard drive and rely on cloud saves then you’re fucked because Steam will have created an empty folder to backup.

    And remember, as I said, the Deck installs the Windows version by default but if you have Linux on your PC then chances are cloud saves between your Deck and PC won’t work unless you force the Deck to install the Linux version of games.


  • Only issue you’ll probably have is if the cloud saves are for a different OS, so if you’re playing on Windows make sure it’s the Proton version of the game that’s installed on the Deck, if you’re playing a native Linux version of the game on your PC then make sure it’s the native Linux version that’s installed on the Deck (usual defaults to the Proton version).

    It’s just an issue with the cloud save feature being too dumb, the path to the save folder isn’t the same on both platforms so it doesn’t sync well (although I think it does on some games).




  • You think I don’t know that? It’s an issue as well, federal vs provincial powers are defined but the federal government can’t help but interfere? Well, there’s a fucking issue with the federation and the amount of taxes that they collect then!

    Remember, every time the federal government is giving money to finance programs that fall under provincial jurisdiction (when they’re not simply running the program) it’s a government mostly elected by people of other provinces that’s deciding that and you’re just one out of 28+ millions electors, come next election the government can switch and all that financing can simply stop even if your province (where your voice is a much higher percentage of the eligible voters) has been electing the same kind of politicians for decades, won’t matter, people in other provinces decided that your province was gonna lose funding for programs that benefit you.
