Next time you run it on any other device you've set up the link on, your saves will be downloaded automatically. Steam Cloud should now upload your save to the system. Launch the game one more time on the system your saves are on and close it. You'll need to do this on all devices you intend to play on. It should redirect you to the SteamID directory, and you'll see the Steam Cloud metadata file that Steam writes automatically on sync. In both cases you can verify the link is working by navigating to the directory in the system's file explorer and opening the 110000100a42a26 directory. (If you're not doing this on a Steamdeck, you'll need to sudo it) Launch terminal and run the following command: Launch Command Prompt as administrator, and run the following commands:ĭel 'C:\Users\\Documents\4a games\metro 2033\110000100a42a26'

You'll need to adjust these commands to insert your Windows username and SteamId. The method for creating symbolic links is similar on both Windows and Linux, but there are some differences. Metro will always try to write the saves to the 110000100a42a26 directory, but they need to be in the SteamID directory to sync, so we can use a symbolic link to make Metro write the files in the correct place. Symbolic links are used by your operating system to point a directory (or file) to another directory (or file.)
On all other devices, delete the contents of the 110000100a42a26 directory. Move all the files out of the 110000100a42a26 directory into the SteamID directory. One will be 110000100a42a26, and the other is your SteamID so it will be unique to you. This will make sure that Steam knows it's the most recent device to sync. Step 3: On the system with your current save fileįirst off launch the game, play until you hit a checkpoint, and quit. (Don't worry, since sync is broken, you won't overwrite your existing save, but still good to have a backup!) You'll need to start a new game and play until you hit the first autosave to make sure the required folders are created. Step 2: Launch the game on all devices you intend to play on You probably won't need it, but good to have! ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/286690/pfx/drive_c/users/Documents/4a games/metro 2033/110000100a42a26/users/steamuser/Documents/4a games/metro 2033/110000100a42a26Ĭopy the contents of that directory somewhere for safe keeping.
On the system with your save, you'll want to locate your existing save and back it up just in case.Ĭ:\Users\\Documents\4a games\metro 2033\110000100a42a26 That's not necessary, you can fix this permanently! There are a few posts out there discussing a workaround, however they require you to manually copy files around every time you want to sync. So I just started playing Metro 2033 Redux on my Steamdeck, and turns out there's a bug that prevents Steam Cloud from working, meaning I couldn't swap between desktop and Deck on the fly.Įven if you're not planning to switch devices on the same save like I do, this is probably a sensible thing to do as otherwise you've got no cloud saves.īasically, the game saves the actual save data in a different directory to where Steam looks for cloud saves, so nothing will ever get uploaded/downloaded.
