Last updated
VA-11 Hall-A stores runs as plainly named text files in a saves folder whose parent varies by platform. Windows uses AppData Local, Linux uses config home, Mac uses the YoYo Games runner folder. Filenames carry the game's humor with them.
Cross platform moves need filename case fixes between Linux lowercase and Windows mixed case. Native Linux and Proton builds on Deck keep separate trees that never sync. Copy with the game closed and mind the case.
