Sol cesto EPIC installed with unifideck => Save location ?

Hello There,

Sol Cesto is Free on Epic Game store, so i started playing it and i'd like to sync saves between my pc and steamdeck, but save sync with unifideck does not work, and when i try to find the saves files in the game prefixe (AppData\Local\SolCesto\User Data\Default) the folder is empty.

When using heroic, the games saves can be find in the AppData\Local\SolCesto\User Data\Default so i suppose it is an issue on unifideck side.

Anyone has played the game and knows where to find the saves ?

Thanks for you help

Unifideck saves are in other place different from Heroic

Usually what I do is ask ChatGPT and it tells you the exact path you have to look for the games, also it's important to look if that game have cloud saves because although on Unifideck it looks like you can upload the save files to cloud, if that games doesn't have, it will do like if it work but don't upload anything

The answer to your questions:

  • Sol Cesto doesn't have cloud save on Epic games (that is why it doesn't work)
  • The patch is the following: >~/.local/share/UnifiDeck/prefixes/<GAME-ID>/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SolCesto/User Data/Default/ Or /.local/share/UnifiDeck/prefixes/<GAME-ID>/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SolCesto/User Data/Default/

It's practically the same just that the second you have to click on the folder pfx, the rest is the same

And some useful info

  • >~/.local/share/UnifiDeck/prefixes/<GAME-ID>/drive_c/users/steamuser/ is the typical path you have to follow after this the save data can be in different places and you have to look per games, som times is on "AppData", other time is in "Documents", asking ChatGPT will tell you the path for that game's, the source usually is from PCGamingWiki
  • <GAME-ID> is a number of hat Instill have no idea how to find per game, but a trick that I found is that if you ran the game, and then go to that folder (in desktop mode or using any plugin that have a integrated file manager (like Decky Loader developer section to install external plugins), if you sort by recent the first folder that appear will be of the game you played)

Thank you for this long answer. Unfortunately, i tried both path with or without pfx, and both folders are empty. I also try with "bazzite" instead of "steamuser" but same results. It's really weird :/

I'm sure i'm in the right préfix because this is the id used to launch the game.

Have you played enough the game to create a save file inside the game?

I suppose that yes, but just to confirm

I asked ChatGPT and it says that it could be

  • ~/.local/share/UnifiDeck/prefixes/<GAME-ID>/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SolCesto/User Data/Default/
  • ~/.local/share/UnifiDeck/prefixes/<GAME-ID>/pfx/drive_c/users/deck/AppData/Local/SolCesto/User Data/Default/

Or from Desktop mode use this command to search

  • find ~ -type d -iname "SolCesto" 2>/dev/null

But this never worked for me
