I wondered about this as well. I checked my steam-cloud to see if anything was saved and I did have savegames from October 2020, but nothing later than that. I then checked my laptop and found two folders, one labeled save and one labeled SAVE..
The SAVE-folder contained everything synced to steam-cloud, while save contained everything else.
for a quick workaround under Linux delete the save folder in hlvr and then open a terminal and create a symlink by opening a terminal and running ln -s Save save
Nothing extracted yet.
Reporting this here since there seems to be no Alyx specific GitHub repo available. If there's a better place for this report please let me know.
Describe the bug
After downloading Half-Life: Alyx on a fresh Linux system and letting Steam synchronize the cloud saves, said saves are not shown in the ingame menus (it's just prompting to start a new game, as if there were no saves).
After going to the game directory (
Half-Life Alyx/game/hlvr), you can notice the saves being downloaded to theSAVEdirectory (in all caps). Renaming the folder tosave, and theS*folders inside it tos*(in non capital letters) causes the game to recognize the saves.To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Half-Life Alyxfolder insteamapps, or any game saves stored).Expected behavior
The saves downloaded from the Steam Cloud should be shown in the game's menus.
