Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/203680/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (203680) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    "The solution isn't linking old accounts. It's going to your open network and Internet settings, selecting Change Adapter Options, and disabling every single connections but the one you're using. It must also be a wired connection. Do that, and it works. No account linking required."
