[h2]Launching the game[/h2]
If your game doesn't start up (and it closes immediately again), you can try to using a different Proton version: 6.3-8
  1. Open your game settings from the Steam launcher
  2. Go to compatibility
  3. Check the Checkbox "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
  4. Select Proton 6.3-8 from the list

[h2]My saves from the demo are gone![/h2]
Unfortunately this is due to the folder structure on Proton being different than Windows, but your saves aren't lost. We are working on a solution to automatically copy these files over, but for now you have to do it manually:

First, here is how to get to your files on Steam Deck:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqYgPf4u2yc

  1. Close the game.
  2. Go to:
    /home/[yourusername]/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3247140/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/appdata/Roaming/
  3. Copy the whole frameland folder
    (this is the folder holding your demo saves)
  4. Go to:
    /home/[yourusername]/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2137750/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/appdata/Roaming/
    (the difference here is just the end of the number: 2137750 instead of 3247140)
  5. Careful!
    If there already exists a frameland folder here, it means you already saved settings or have a savegame from the full version. Instead of deleting it, rename it to frameland2 or something, just in case.
  6. Paste the folder in here
    If there already exists a frameland folder, overwrite it (see above point to not lose data)
  7. Restart the game.
    Your savefiles and settings should all be restored from the demo.

[h3]If this doesn't work for you, here are a few more options:[/h3]
  • Here is a save file that is at the end of the demo: Savefile
    (there will hardly be any differences unless you spent hours grinding).
    Just copy it to the same location from above (step 4):
    /home/[yourusername]/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2137750/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/appdata/Roaming/frameland
