- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/4560/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (4560) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
