I should get back to that. I stalled out on the first game (which I think I've decided is just not very good, even with the prettier graphics), so maybe I'll just skip it entirely and get to the game I actually enjoy.

Anybody played the MELE on steamdeck and pc at all?
I started this last night on the deck and completed the opener on Eden Prime so not far into it yet when I tried to pick it up on the pc for a quick look at it this morning there was no save to resume. I've gone back to the deck and it's there for me to resume so what gives?
Apparently the saves are handled by the EA app not steam, because EA reasons.

Maybe it's local saves only because they're shared between the games or something? Or maybe that causes issues with the different directory structure between Windows and Linux? I don't know, just some random ideas. But yeah, maybe just EA app.

@crashv👀d👀
I just found this posted by a user Moskeeto93 on reddit.
So EA games on Steam that use the EA App don't use Steam Cloud saves. Instead, they use the EA App cloud save system. So something is not working on that end. If you force quit the game with the Steam overlay then it doesn't give the EA App enough time to sync the save files so you must exit the game through the game's menus.
Not sure if this helps at all.

Hmmm, I'll have another go and observe. I used the exit option within the game

When I exited the game last night on my Steam Deck, I noticed the EA launcher when the game closed, but it was only up for a couple of seconds. I wonder if Steam is closing the EA launcher too quick before it has time to sync the save file.
I would try playing it on my PC to see if I have the same issue, but that would involve downloading over 100GB of data, so I will give that a miss. Sorry.

Yep, exactly that, it shut down so much quicker the first time. This time I left the game on the ME launcher a bit longer and then exited and it uploaded it before being killed off.
I could resume on the pc.

Out of curiosity, not being a Deck owner, does the Deck have the facility to be connected to another machine so you can copy and paste the contents of the game folder into steamapps/common on the other machine, then have Steam validate the files to save you from a massive download?

Blue_MikeIn theory yeah you could whack it onto an SD card and then plug it in. Also, you can turn on steams download share or whatever it's called and it'll just transfer the game files from another pc on your network Steam>Settings>Downloads>Game file transfer over local network
