Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/324800/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (324800) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    This worked. It seems the last object has tendency to spawn in same spawn point as any of the previous ones which causes this bug.
