==Issues fixed==

===Steam Cloud not working (Linux version)===
 +
{{ii}} For the Linux version, Steam Cloud is configured incorrectly. It looks for save files at {{file|{{P|xdgconfighome}}/EldenPixels/Alwa's Awakening/*.dat}}<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamdb.info/app/549260/ufs/|title=Alwa's Awakening Cloud Saves · SteamDB|date=2024-02-19}}</ref> but they are located at {{file|{{P|xdgconfighome}}/unity3d/EldenPixels/Alwa's Awakening/*.dat}}.
 +
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Link incorrect directory to correct directory|fix=

Create a symbolic link such that {{file|{{P|xdgconfighome}}/EldenPixels/Alwa's Awakening/*.dat}} leads to {{file|{{P|xdgconfighome}}/unity3d/EldenPixels/Alwa's Awakening/*.dat}}. For example, one can make a symbolic link from {{file|{{P|xdgconfighome}}/EldenPixels}} to {{file|{{P|xdgconfighome}}/unity3d/EldenPixels}} after first moving {{file|steam_autocloud.vdf}} (as well as any files that may have been sync'd from machines where this was already fixed):

Issues fixed

Steam Cloud not working (Linux version)

For the Linux version, Steam Cloud is configured incorrectly. It looks for save files at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/EldenPixels/Alwa's Awakening/*.dat[6] but they are located at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/unity3d/EldenPixels/Alwa's Awakening/*.dat.
Link incorrect directory to correct directory

Create a symbolic link such that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/EldenPixels/Alwa's Awakening/*.dat leads to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/unity3d/EldenPixels/Alwa's Awakening/*.dat. For example, one can make a symbolic link from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/EldenPixels to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/unity3d/EldenPixels after first moving steam_autocloud.vdf (as well as any files that may have been sync'd from machines where this was already fixed):

mkdir -pv ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/unity3d/EldenPixels/"Alwa's Awakening"
mv -bv ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/EldenPixels/"Alwa's Awakening"/* ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/unity3d/EldenPixels/"Alwa's Awakening"/ &&
rmdir -v ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/EldenPixels/"Alwa's Awakening" &&
rmdir -v ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/EldenPixels &&
ln -sv ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/unity3d/EldenPixels ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/

Notes

  1. Unity engine build: 5.3.7f1[1]
  2. Steam can be made to run the 64-bit executable by putting
    bash -c 'exec "${@/AlwasAwakening.x86/AlwasAwakening.x86_64}"' -- %command%
    in the launch options (assuming bash is installed). Both executables can also run without Steam.
