Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/2420110/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (2420110) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.

- The initial launch version of the game on Epic was technically DRM-free when using the
-EpicPortalcommand-line argument but not in practice as the game lacked a default save location and so were unable to save progress properly. Update v1.0.43.0 of the game solved this issue, and save files are now stored properly in the root of%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Horizon Forbidden West Complete Editionwhen running the game with the-EpicPortalcommand-line argument.

- Confirmed by opening Steam Input Controls Layout page and viewing the config in action. All Game Actions are assigned to a single Action Set, making button remapping more tedious.
Usually, an average SIAPI-supported game would organize Game Actions by each Action Sets (like "In-Game", or "Menu"), but this isn't the case here.
