Notes
- ↑ Unity engine build: 2017.4.36f1[1]
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 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>/906100/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (906100) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ For example, ← Backspace is not listed among the Controls but used to back out of objects inspection; R for Response is not documented; some of the functionality of Space ␣ is remappable but even when fully remapped, the game will require its use to close the SamOS interface.
