How to sync save when it is in registry
I have the game Ghost at Dawn on Epic and was trying to set up cloud sync with the game, Heroic couldn't find the save location so tried finding it myself but have found that the save file on Windows is saved in the regedit under
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blue and Red Games\GHOST at DAWN. Is there anyway that I could sync this? From what I've found by researching is that Wine saves registries for prefixes under a *.reg file, and I can see the save within the file user.reg file that's located under the /home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Ghost at Dawn. I don't know how I would link to this in the cloud save box, so hoping someone would know if this is possible and how I could achieve it if so5 Replies

does the cloud saves with with the official epic games launcher? I've never seen a game storing saves in registry, I wonder how that even works with epic
because if that's the way the saves are working in epic maybe that's a feature request to do to legendary https://github.com/derrod/legendary since I think it only supports file-based saves and we use legendary in the background

it sounds to me that this feature is missing in legendary, I might be wrong but I think it only supports file saves, maybe you an ask in legendary's discord about it, it's there in their github repo, mabye someone in there knows about that
