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>/906100/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (906100) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    Closed the launcher, removed its folders and launched the game without issues.

    Tested by checking whether NVIDIA ShadowPlay would display FPS.

    It works, and it seems to be the only way to access the extra keybindings.
  5. Verified by User:Rose on 2019-05-21
    This appeared when inspecting a document. A No Code developer said this on Discord: "It's an X inside the backwards arrow - that's what backspace looks like on most keyboards"
