RDR2: Change launcher settings (feddit.de)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi everyone, I just installed RDR2 on my Steam Deck and accidentally disabled cloud saves in the Rockstar Launcher.

To enable them again, I guess I'd have to get into the launcher settings, but when I start via Steam it launches straight to the main screen. I tried adding the Rockstar Launcher as non-steam game, but it seems to start in a complete new environment, so the setting doesn't carry over.

Any other tips to enable cloud saves or should I just reinstall? Cheers

The simplest method would be to verify game files. When you do this, steam deletes the proton prefixes and thus forcing to you reinstall the launcher on the next run, where you can then enable cloud saves. The only downside to this is that it takes time for your deck to scan through all the files to verify.

Alternatively you can also go to the proton folder for RDR2 in desktop mode and manually remove the folder that holds the rock-star launcher and game saves. This would be something like /home/deck/.local/steam/steamapps/common or something very similar to that. You would then find the folder for RDR2 which would be under its steam ID. I usually use protondb for looking this up. You can then delete or rename this folder and it will force steam to reinstall the launcher on the next run.

Warning: Both of these methods will delete the local copy of your save file. If you do not want these deleted, please back them up for attempting.
