This is the second game (after Tiny & Big) that trashed the progress I made on Windows. In both cases, after installing the Linux versions, the progress was gone. This is very unfortunate and a rather demotivating experience. :/

Do you mean your Windows progress was not available on Linux, or that when you ran the Linux version, it trashed the Windows progress?

Hi, thanks for replying!

Both - the Windows progress was not available using the Linux version (that might be intended, although I'd like to see that feature - it works for some other games) and going back to the Windows version left me with a screen telling me there was an issue with the save sync.

Ok we'll try to reproduce this.

This is a known issue due to the steam autoclound sync not currently working on linux.. We are working on getting it supported correctly and cleanly with Valve right now.

@xentropy You can disable cloud syncing in Linux for this game. So your windows progress should be retained.

Thanks for all information!
Great to hear you're looking into this issue.
