Trying to get sync saves between Steam Deck and PC
Hi guys, sorry if this is a repeated question. I browsed through some previous posts that talked about this but I couldn't find an answer that I could really understand.
I'm using Heroic on a Steam Deck, and I want to sync up the save from my desktop with the game that I just downloaded on the deck. Linux is super confusing to me so an explanation on how to set sync saves up for this and any future games would be really appreciated. (like a super basic "start from step 1" explanation if possible). I'd also prefer not erasing the file that's already on my desktop 😅 .
Thanks guys

Somewhat of a step 0: Verify that the game actually supports EGS save sync. In Heroic, this is shown on the game page ("Save Sync: Unsupported" means, well, I'm sure you can guess that one; "Save Sync: Disabled" means you can use save sync, you just have to set it up)
1. Head to the game settings by clicking the settings icon in the top-right of the game page, or the icon on the game card
2. Scroll down to "Cloud Saves Sync", expand the tab. The path should now get computed (which should only take a second or two if you ran the game before; if not, it'll have to first create some files before it can know where the path is)
3. Verify that the path is correct. This can be done by either simply sending it into here & having me double-check it, or you could also visit PCGamingWiki/similar sites that list save paths for games
4. Either manually download/upload your save, or toggle automatic sync for Heroic to handle it for you (your save will be downloaded before the game starts & uploaded once you're done playing)

Oh ok, I ran the game once and now the path says /home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Enter the Gungeon/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Dodge Roll/Enter the Gungeon
And now the Sync button is lit up. Do I just need to press that and I'll be good to go?

Verify the sync works by downloading the cloud save and seeing if it loads

Tried to sync a couple times, progress bar never goes forward. Does it usually take a long time or is there something wrong with my sync?

that's not a progress bar
but show a screenshot of what exactly you're describing
