So i started using ludusavi and i really like it! I can just dump all my saves onto my NAS and i’m good to go.

I now made two .sh files, one for ludusavi restore --force and one for ludusavi backup --force I made the global Lutris setting to exectute the restore BEFORE launching a game and backup AFTER exiting.

This should then give me a steamcloud like automatism where my savegames would be always on the newest version regardless on what PC i played on last time.

But this only works if i play them via Lutris. I have a steamdeck and a minipc with chimeraOS (steam gamepadui per default). I start the games via steam there, not lutris… does anyone know of some possibility to globally start a script or command before starting and another one after exiting the game in steam?

Because i have quite the few non-steam games in my library and also have all my emulated games in there.

That would be fantastic!

    Heyho,

    thanks! I found the script but tbh it’s a bit over my head^^ But the solution presented by @[email protected] is good enough for me…yes i do have to set it up manually for each game but it works reliably and is a simple copy&paste process where i just go through my games while watching something on youtube 😀

      Just modify the script, right near the end where it says exec "$@", and add one line before to do anything before launching the game and one after to do anything after, e.g.

      ludosavi restore --force
exec "$@"
ludosavi backup --force

      If you do it per game you can write ludosavi restore --force && %command% && ludosavi backup --force which should execute the commands before and after the game.
