I am wanting to upload my save file for hollow knight silksong to a progress tracker on the wiki. I have the game on Steam, running it through Proton 9.0-4, and I’m on Fedora 42 KDE Plasma.

Trying to access the location ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong/) through Dolphin just gives an “invalid protocol” message.

What should I do?

    Steam proton saves files in your steam proton compatdata folder (where windows files are stored), you should look in there.

    the way I open it is you go to “browse local files” or smth in the steam page for the game, and you go back up the folder chain to “steamapps”.

    The compatdata folder should be in there, and you’ll need to find the folder for silksong (by the app id on steam) which should be “1030300”.

    in there there should be “drive_c” or smth like that, that’s the fake windows C drive. You can then go c:/users/steamuser/appdata/unity3d/team cherry or whatever and the save files should be there

      Silksong is a Linux native game. No Proton is involved. OP is looking for the ~/.config/unity3d folder.

      Edit: Nevermind, I just saw that OP is running it through Proton.

      yeah this is a really good use case for find, though it can be a bit slow. fdfind is a lot faster and does the same thing though
