Steam deck, proton and missing save

[Hitman13429]

I started 7d2d without proton. I was going to try running it with proton to see if it runs better but my save file is not in the continue game section. Do I need to move it or is there no way of using my old save with proton? If I need to move it where would I move it? Thanks.

I don't know, but create a game under proton and give it a distinctive name. Then search for the name with filesystem tools (for example "find / -name 'game name' -print" in a shell). The same way you can find the location of your old game. Compare.

 

Oh, and the launcher should also open the savegame location. Probably the proton save game is at a location where proton simulates a windows directory structure, i.e. it would be somewhere with a name of .../Appdata/Roaming/... So you might find the location without generating a game with "find / -name Roaming -print"
