Heya everyone,

I have just activated Steam Cloud saves for Ronny's Climb. If everything went well, you shouldn't see any immediate impactall your savegames and options should hopefully still be there, and now they will also be synched over multiple devices!

A word on the Steam Deck

Ronny's Climb doesn't officially support the Steam Deck at the moment (mainly as I don't own a Steam Deck myself, so testing for it is difficult). Also, Ronny's Climb is a small game and Valve doesn't allow me yet to even apply for the 'Steam Deck Verified' badge. That being said, apparently the game runs fine on the Steam Deck as is, using Proton for compatibility. Some players have reported graphics bugs in the menu or Steam achievements not working as intended though.

In order to fix these issues and to provide actual Steam Deck support, I will add a dedicated Linux and Steam Deck build soon. However, I don't exactly know how the savegames interact between the Proton emulation and an actual Linux/SteamOS build. While I said I don't really support the Steam Deck yet, I also don't want anyone who has played Ronny's Climb on it to lose their save file.

Hence, what I recommend is that if you have been playing exclusively on the Steam Deck and if you want to avoid risking your save file, that you run the game once in the next few days to ensure Steam uploads your save to the Steam Cloud. Once I provide a dedicated build for the Steam Deck, I hope Valve's Steam Cloud feature will take care of everything.

Should you ever lose your save file due to issues with the newly activated Steam Cloud feature or during the transition from Proton emulation over to the Linux/SteamOS build, please contact me and I will help you restore your progress to the best of my ability.
