So i started using ludusavi and i really like it! I can just dump all my saves onto my NAS and i’m good to go.

I now made two .sh files, one for ludusavi restore --force and one for ludusavi backup --force I made the global Lutris setting to exectute the restore BEFORE launching a game and backup AFTER exiting.

This should then give me a steamcloud like automatism where my savegames would be always on the newest version regardless on what PC i played on last time.

But this only works if i play them via Lutris. I have a steamdeck and a minipc with chimeraOS (steam gamepadui per default). I start the games via steam there, not lutris… does anyone know of some possibility to globally start a script or command before starting and another one after exiting the game in steam?

Because i have quite the few non-steam games in my library and also have all my emulated games in there.

That would be fantastic!

    Are you just talking about the ability to set a run/launch command on steam? This is set per game by going to the game settings (cog icon) and it’s right there at the bottom.

    Edit: not sure for post-exit though…

      yeah i could put the restore command at the launch command…but as you already said: manually for each game and it doesn’t do anything on exit.

      And tbh it would be really cumbersome to add them all by hand…
