Issues unresolved
Settings reset when launched without the respective client
- Due to the game storing some settings on cloud servers, launching the game by skipping Epic Games Launcher or launching the Steam version directly from its executable causes settings to reset every time, even if the configuration files are set to "read only". A potential workaround for the Epic version can be found here.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/385560/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (385560) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

- Moved my old save file from the Epic version's save data location into Steam version's and the latter was able to read the save file without issue. Transferring from Steam to Epic however seemed like it required clearing out my configuration files first before the game can read the save files.
