Saves lost after changing wine version
Heya, I just swapped my heroic game settings wine version from Proton-GE to Wine-GE to match the documentation by the GE creator. Now I've lost my saves, despite the fact that my save-sync settings are pointing to the correct save location. Any idea what's going on?

Additionally, swapping back to my previous Proton-GE wine version gives me back my saves

Proton and Wine prefixes are incompatible; they have a different file structure.

Is there a way for me to copy the saves from the proton prefix to the wine prefix? Additionally, where would I find these folders?
Additionally it's not technically not proton, it's just now Wine - lutris-GE-Proton7-35

Inside the game prefix folder you should have both the wine and the proton prefix, the wine prefix is the one you see in
Prefixes/GameName/drive_c, the proton prefix is in Prefixes/GameName/pfx/drive_c, you can look for the game saves in the old prefix and copy them in the same folder in the other prefix
you can check what's the path of the saves in PCGamingWiki.com
