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>/115320/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (115320) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
