Setup

🔰 Environment Setup

- For the game files to sync, both machines need to be online. I personally set this up on my VPS which is running 24/7 to act as intermediary, but this is optional
📁 Configuring Lutris Save Files Folder
In recommended Lutris setup, each installed game is to have its own prefix folder. Save data can be found in ...\AppData\Local\* from each prefix folder. We will make a centralized save folder to make sync easier.
