Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: The Forest
  • Steam AppID of the game:242760

The Forest makes save slots from 1 to 5 in %AppData%..\LocalLow\SKS\TheForest folder on Windows. I moved to Linux. And there is no AppData folder. Where should I create one said folder, so The Forest picks up save slots?
If I would use wine (proton based of) there is .wine/drive c/ folder and I theoreticly just make AppData folder there and It should work.
