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!

    If you already use gamemode it has custom section in gamemode.ini file to execute custom scripts before and after game sessions. You simply use gamemoderun %command% as launch option for all of your games.

    Another option is directly chaining your scripts with %command% but your mileage may vary.

    I was able to log game start and end with this naive launch option.

    echo "start" >> ~/Desktop/test.txt && %command% && echo "end" >> ~/Desktop/test.txt

      to do that via gamemode is interesting, yes!

      I could absolutely do that…still had the manual part of adding it to all games…but then atleast it works Thanks!
