Cloud saves are not cross-platform

Runs natively, but cloud saves do not carry over from the Windows version. Force enable Proton to carry cloud saves over.

Outside of weird save issues, game runs good :)

Seems to have native support, but bugs out when started with Steam

10 months ago
Tinker Steps:Launcher: Start shell file
Significant Bugs:Yes

A lot of times gives a lot of errors and crashes when loading if you start through Steam. Works fine if you go to the folder and start it using play.sh. And sometimes starting through Steam works fine too, so I'm not sure what causes the crashes yet.

Change back grip behaviour, just personal preference tweaks

Input:Lag

A small but noticable delay using left stick for WASD, and left trackpad as a radial menu for hotbar keys.

Might be more of a Steam Input issue rather than a game issue?

Save Games:Other

My save from my Linux desktop was not synced over to the deck running the Windows version.

Not sure why Steam installs the Windows version of the game on the deck, despite a Linux native version existing. Trying to force "Steam Linux Runtime" makes the game refuse to launch...

Seems to work fine after using Proton Experimental though - however I haven't tried it much on the deck due to my saves not syncing over from desktop.
