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).

Having to buy a number of in game coins that doesn’t match the price of items should be illegal

They do layoffs and rehire later though

I think it’s just basic etiquette to mention that a link is NSFW when you’re sharing it in a regular conversation, no matter the context.

Yay, more game devs lost to the Valve machine, never to complete a project again.

Maybe mark your link as NSFW?

They can’t write their own laws and their terms of service can’t go against your local laws if they want to provide their services in your State (in the general sense, not in the USA sense), so customer protection laws can solve the issue if Nintendo won’t solve it themselves.

It’s as if customer protection laws are necessary… A whole bunch of things found in EULA doesn’t apply to me just because of where I live and the fact that we have them here.

Ok, doesn’t make what I said wrong

I thought it was just that they’re set far into the future

Every time there’s a change to Civ people say it could completely destroy the franchise… We’re at number 7 now…

The vast majority doesn’t care about it, which is why games still manage to sell record numbers with it in place.

Launchers themselves are a form of DRM anyway

No they haven’t and HD2 is the only game for which they removed the requirement for PSN.

I’m 100% sure when player count has dropped enough they’ll add PSN back.

The machine needs money to run, keep paying more and more, while you wonder how you’ll be able to afford a roof over your head, the managers are drinking champagne.

I guess OP believes that the drive size has a link with the Deck’s performance? 🤔

Don’t need to be on the inside, just need to look at the history of their efforts to shut down emulation including ROM websites and emulators on Android and on PC before the Deck was even a thought in someone’s mind.

No, Nintendo goes after emulation in general, nothing specific about it being on the Deck.

Nintendo only release their games on their own console…

Microsoft has made zero effort to make Windows more compatible with that kind of portable hardware, just wait until they release their own version of the Deck.
