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!
for steam its possible for native linux games. Kind of possible for proton games(but its pretty ugly and I have had varying results). If you are playing steam games though, they are probably already using the steam cloud. If these are non steam games, I would install lutris and check the box making a steam shortcut. Then when you launch them it will ask lutris to launch them and the pre/post commands should run even though using the steam launcher. (I did this recently for some dos games I own on gog. I needed to start timidity before the game launched and stop it on exit so I could have a midi music server. I installed them via lutris but I launch them via steam.)
