So i started using ludusavi and i really like it! I can just dump all my saves onto my NAS and i’m good to go.
I now made two .sh files, one for ludusavi restore --force and one for ludusavi backup --force
I made the global Lutris setting to exectute the restore BEFORE launching a game and backup AFTER exiting.
This should then give me a steamcloud like automatism where my savegames would be always on the newest version regardless on what PC i played on last time.
But this only works if i play them via Lutris. I have a steamdeck and a minipc with chimeraOS (steam gamepadui per default). I start the games via steam there, not lutris… does anyone know of some possibility to globally start a script or command before starting and another one after exiting the game in steam?
Because i have quite the few non-steam games in my library and also have all my emulated games in there.
thanks! I found the script but tbh it’s a bit over my head^^
But the solution presented by @neoney@lemmy.neoney.dev is good enough for me…yes i do have to set it up manually for each game but it works reliably and is a simple copy&paste process where i just go through my games while watching something on youtube 😀
Just modify the script, right near the end where it says exec "$@", and add one line before to do anything before launching the game and one after to do anything after, e.g.
If you do it per game you can write ludosavi restore --force && %command% && ludosavi backup --force which should execute the commands before and after the game.
Heyho,

yeah the command to do that per game i figured out already, thanks again
